Family & Inheritance Law in Samut Songkhram — About us

Samut Songkhram (Mae Klong) is Thailand's smallest province, with an economy built on salt farms, coastal fishery and seafood, coconut orchards and coconut sugar, and tourism around the Amphawa floating market and the Maeklong railway market (Talat Rom Hup). We handle orchard land and inheritance cases, family matters, business contracts, labor, and disputes for tourism and homestay operators from our Bangkok branch, travelling to appear at the Samut Songkhram Provincial Court and the Juvenile and Family Court.

Suwanvara Law Firm has practiced since 1986 — 40+ years of experience, bilingual service, and a real grasp of the Mae Klong coastal economy: salt farms, artisanal fishery, coconut orchards, and Amphawa tourism. We have no office in the province itself, but serve Samut Songkhram clients from our nearby Bangkok branch, travelling to meet clients and appear at the local courts, and taking on cases nationwide.
