Bankruptcy & Business Rehabilitation Lawyer in Phang Nga

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 Phang Nga

Phang Nga holds Khao Lak and the Similan Islands as international destinations, and carries former tin-mining land that was later turned over to development — producing title and land-use questions more complex than in an ordinary tourism province, alongside hotel and hospitality cases, labour matters, and foreign property holding.

Land that was once concession or mining ground usually carries conditions and restrictions attached to the land itself, which a single layer of sale documents will not reveal — only tracing back to the origin does. We complete that check before a decision is made, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Phang Nga and Takua Pa Provincial Courts.

Courts we appear at in Phang Nga

  • Phang Nga Provincial Court

Frequently asked questions — bankruptcy lawyer in Phang Nga

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.
