About our team in Trat
Trat borders Cambodia at the Hat Lek crossing and contains Ko Chang, a tourism centre with a substantial foreign operator and resident population. The caseload covers cross-border trade and debt, fisheries and migrant labour, island lease and landholding arrangements, accommodation licensing, and family cases involving a foreign spouse.
Island businesses often run on holding structures and leases inherited from previous operators and never tested in court; the weak points appear only on transfer or when a dispute starts. We review the structure so the exposure is visible first, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Trat Provincial Court.
