About our team in Prachuap Khiri Khan

Prachuap Khiri Khan holds Hua Hin, one of Thailand's densest markets for foreign buyers and long-stay residents, while the south of the province runs on fishing, pineapple, and processing plants. The caseload splits cleanly in two: property, visas, wills, and family matters for foreign residents; and labour, fisheries, and crop purchase contracts.

Foreign-resident matters usually fail where the visa, the property holding, and the will do not agree with one another — a mismatch that only surfaces at transfer or on death. We align the whole set. The team works in Thai, English, and Chinese, runs the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travels to appear at the Prachuap Khiri Khan and Hua Hin Provincial Courts.

Frequently asked questions — traffic accident lawyer in Prachuap Khiri Khan

3 questions answered

DUI causing injury triggers both the Land Traffic Act and the Penal Code, carrying penalties of imprisonment and fines according to the severity of the outcome. Prompt restitution to the victim and a guilty plea are mitigating factors the court typically considers. We help negotiate settlement and prepare mitigation submissions.

Compulsory insurance (under the Road Accident Victims Protection Act) covers personal-injury losses up to a statutory cap and pays out immediately. Voluntary insurance covers everything else (vehicle repair, losses above the statutory cap). Victims typically claim from the at-fault vehicle's compulsory policy first, then the excess from the at-fault driver's voluntary policy.

In hit-and-run cases, the Road Victims Compensation Fund pays initial medical and compensation amounts in the at-fault driver's place. Victims apply through the Office of Insurance Commission (OIC), while the police continue searching for the driver. We handle both tracks in parallel.
