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.

Frequently asked questions — debt recovery lawyer in Trat

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.
