Bankruptcy & Business Rehabilitation Lawyer in Narathiwat

Bankruptcy and business rehabilitation fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Central Bankruptcy Court, governed by the Bankruptcy Act B.E. 2483 (as amended). The key distinction: bankruptcy collects and distributes an insolvent debtor's assets among creditors, while rehabilitation lets a still-viable business restructure its debts and keep trading under a court-approved plan. Our team acts for both creditors (claims and debt proof) and debtors (rehabilitation petitions, plan drafting, defence), weighing the option that best protects the client before any filing.

About our team in Narathiwat

Narathiwat has the longest border with Malaysia of the southern border provinces, with Sungai Kolok and Tak Bai as its main crossings. Its economy rests on rubber, border trade, and workers commuting to the Malaysian side, and it is one of the four provinces where the court applies Islamic law on family and inheritance with a Dato Yutithum sitting. The caseload spans cross-border trade, labour, land, and family and inheritance under Islamic principles.

Families with members working or holding assets on the Malaysian side commonly hit trouble at the estate-administration stage, because the assets sit in another jurisdiction under different principles. We set the order of steps clearly at the outset so the estate does not stall on both sides, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Narathiwat Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — bankruptcy lawyer in Narathiwat

1 questions answered

The main difference is the statutory minimum debt threshold for filing, which is not the same for individual and corporate debtors. The strategy differs too — a viable business is usually better served by rehabilitation than liquidation, while for individuals the focus is proving genuine insolvency. We check whether the filing conditions are met and pick the most cost-effective route, including checking the current statutory minimum debt threshold for your situation.
