About our team in Tak

Tak is Thailand's largest western border-trade gateway, through Mae Sot district facing Myawaddy in Myanmar and designated a special economic development zone. The caseload is visibly different from other provinces: customs procedure and seized goods, cross-border trade contracts and debt, migrant labour and work permits, and criminal matters arising out of goods movement.

Customs and seized-goods matters run on short deadlines across stacked layers — the officer stage, the appeal stage, and the court — and taking the wrong layer first is usually unrecoverable. We have run this class of case continuously from our Mekong border-trade base, handle the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Tak and Mae Sot Provincial Courts.

Frequently asked questions — traffic accident lawyer in Tak

3 questions answered

DUI causing injury triggers both the Land Traffic Act and the Penal Code, carrying penalties of imprisonment and fines according to the severity of the outcome. Prompt restitution to the victim and a guilty plea are mitigating factors the court typically considers. We help negotiate settlement and prepare mitigation submissions.
Compulsory insurance (under the Road Accident Victims Protection Act) covers personal-injury losses up to a statutory cap and pays out immediately. Voluntary insurance covers everything else (vehicle repair, losses above the statutory cap). Victims typically claim from the at-fault vehicle's compulsory policy first, then the excess from the at-fault driver's voluntary policy.
In hit-and-run cases, the Road Victims Compensation Fund pays initial medical and compensation amounts in the at-fault driver's place. Victims apply through the Office of Insurance Commission (OIC), while the police continue searching for the driver. We handle both tracks in parallel.
