About our team in Sattahip
Sattahip mixes military zones, U-Tapao airport, and a coastline of holiday property. The legal work arrives in two groups. First, land and leases — boundaries, access rights, and the long leases foreign buyers need checked properly before money moves. Second, the service and contracting businesses growing around the airport, plus accident claims on the heavily-trafficked main roads.
Coastal land cases are decided by the title record and the survey plan, so we pull the Land Office file and apply for a boundary survey first — never relying on what a seller or agent says. On long leases we check the renewal terms and the exit route before signing, not after.
