Bankruptcy & Business Rehabilitation Lawyer in Sa Kaeo
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 Sa Kaeo
Sa Kaeo holds the Aranyaprathet-Poipet crossing, the highest-value Thai-Cambodian trade gate, and is a special economic development zone. The disputes are fully those of a border town: customs procedure, cross-border sale and distributorship agreements, debt recovery where the counterparty sits on the Cambodian side, migrant labour, and warehousing and transport matters.
Cross-border debt is won or lost when the contract is signed — which court, which law, and whether any security sits on the Thai side. Where none of that was set up in advance, chasing it afterwards is expensive. We draft terms that can actually be enforced, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Sa Kaeo Provincial Court.
