About our team in Satun
Satun borders Malaysia both overland at Wang Prachan and by sea from Tammalang pier to Langkawi, has Koh Lipe as its main destination, and is one of the four provinces where Islamic law on family and inheritance is applied in the provincial court, with a Dato Yutithum sitting on the case. The work therefore spans cross-border trade and travel, tourism business, and family and inheritance matters decided under Islamic legal principles.
Family and inheritance cases here are decided on principles that differ from other provinces — shares, heirs, and evidence alike — and importing an approach from elsewhere is usually wrong from the start. We assess the matter against the principles the local court actually applies, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Satun Provincial Court.
