Notary Services in Surat Thani — Document Certification by Notarial Services Attorney
In Thailand, notarial work is performed by a Notarial Services Attorney registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand — unlike many countries where Notary Public is a distinct office, here a licensed attorney holds this authority. Common services include certifying powers of attorney (POA), documents for overseas study applications, status certificates, certified translations, and affidavits for embassy submissions. Notarised documents often need onward legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA) or the destination embassy, depending on how they will be used.

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.
