Criminal Defense Lawyer for Foreigners in Saraburi — Arrest, Bail, Trial, Embassy Coordination

Being arrested in a foreign country compounds every difficulty: language barriers, an unfamiliar legal system, distance from family, embassy formalities, and immigration consequences that may matter more than the criminal outcome itself. We act for foreign nationals from first contact with the police through trial and any deportation aftermath — coordinating with your embassy, arranging bail where possible, briefing your family abroad, and defending the underlying charges with a strategy that accounts for what happens to your visa and re-entry rights after the case ends.

About our team in Saraburi

Saraburi is Thailand's cement and construction-materials base, and the land gateway every truck from the Northeast passes on the way into Bangkok. The legal work holds to three things: labor at the plants and quarries; contractor and materials-supply agreements, where the disputes are usually about progress payments and deductions; and land cases spanning farmland, project sites, and boundaries running up against concession areas.

Saraburi is within reach of both our Bangkok and Khon Kaen offices. On construction disputes we start by reading the progress-payment records and the full correspondence trail, because these cases turn on the order of the documents, not on testimony given afterwards.

Frequently asked questions — criminal defense lawyer for foreigners in Saraburi

3 questions answered

Call us, ask the police to call your embassy (you have the right to consular notification), and do not give a statement of any substance before counsel arrives. You can identify yourself and acknowledge basic facts, but anything past that should wait. Sign nothing in Thai that hasn't been translated and explained. We move quickly to the station once instructed.
Not necessarily — but immigration consequences run on a separate track from the criminal case, so a not-guilty verdict doesn't automatically restore visa status if the visa was cancelled at arrest. We address both tracks: defending the criminal case while preserving the option to reinstate status, or planning a graceful departure with future re-entry intact if that's the right outcome.
Bail is generally available for most charges, with the amount set by the court based on charge severity. Cash, bank guarantee, or a surety bond are accepted; the court may also impose travel restrictions (passport surrender, regular reporting). We prepare the bail application, arrange the security, and negotiate conditions that let you return home or to work while the case proceeds.
