Fraud Lawyer in Surat Thani — Recover Funds from Scams, Mule Accounts & Online Fraud
Fraud victims should preserve evidence at the earliest opportunity — bank transfer slips, chat logs, and the recipient account details. Fraud is a criminal offence under Thailand's Penal Code, with online fraud also subject to the Computer-Related Crimes Act. Our team pursues both the criminal track (police complaint, investigation, prosecution) and the parallel civil track (recovery and asset attachment).

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.
