About our team in Surat Thani

Surat Thani is the largest province in the upper South, combining a mainland oil-palm and rubber base with Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao — tourism and property markets with a large foreign buyer and operator population, substantial enough that Koh Samui has its own provincial court. The caseload splits into two worlds: agriculture and industry on the mainland, and property, visas, and hospitality on the islands.

Island work usually turns on landholding, long leases, and joint ventures with Thai partners — arrangements that are common but that frequently do not survive being tested in court. We establish first how far the existing structure is actually enforceable. The team works in Thai, English, and Chinese, runs the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travels to appear at the Surat Thani and Koh Samui Provincial Courts.

Frequently asked questions — debt recovery lawyer in Surat Thani

2 questions answered

Often yes — transfer evidence, conversations admitting the debt, or witnesses can suffice. However, Thai law requires written evidence for loans above THB 2,000; without it the suit is barred. We help assess whether the available evidence is sufficient.
Use post-judgment discovery — requests to the Land Department, Department of Land Transport, banks, and AMLO. Assets sometimes sit in relatives' names; transfers can be voided in certain conditions. The 10-year enforcement window gives time to trace.
