Family & Inheritance Law in Phetchabun — About us

Phetchabun is a highland farming province that has moved quickly into tourism, above all at Khao Kho and Phu Thap Boek. Converting farmland into accommodation has produced a distinctly local set of disputes: land rights overlapping forest and land-reform (Sor Por Kor) areas, accommodation-business licensing, and administrative cases against agencies issuing demolition or suspension orders.

Land carrying statutory restrictions is not fixed by writing a tighter contract — the restriction attaches to the land, not the agreement. We therefore establish the land classification and the true rights before planning anything, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Phetchabun and Lom Sak Provincial Courts.
