Why Choose Us
What sets Duangjai Counsel apart
We have built a practice for people who need more than legal advice — they need a space to think, and someone who listens with care.
At a Glance
What you can expect
Strict Confidentiality
Your situation is never discussed outside our walls. Professional obligations and personal integrity both require it.
Your Pace, Always
We do not create a sense of urgency. Decisions are made when you feel ready, not on someone else's schedule.
Deep Thai Law Knowledge
Over a decade spent working within Thai family law provisions — not generalist advice adapted from elsewhere.
Thai & English
Consultations and documents in either or both languages. No need for separate interpreters.
Small, Dedicated Team
You work with the same counsel throughout — not a different person each time. Relationships matter in this work.
Plain Written Documents
Agreements and summaries written in language you can follow — explained in person before anything is signed.
Professional expertise in Thai family law
Thai family law is governed primarily by the Civil and Commercial Code. Understanding its specific provisions — including those around divorce, parental rights, and matrimonial property — requires focused experience, not a general legal background.

Years serving families in Bangkok and surrounding areas
"We do not use a case management system to track your patience. We simply take the time that your situation calls for."
— Duangjai Counsel Practice Principle
Service built around the person, not the process
Larger practices sometimes process family matters efficiently — but efficiency is not always what a family needs. We prioritise making sure each person understands what is happening and feels genuinely supported at each stage.
- Private first consultation, no obligation
- Written summary after each meeting
- Same counsel for the duration of your matter

What Makes Us Different
Things you won't find everywhere
A genuinely cooperative approach
Where families can resolve matters without adversarial proceedings, we help them do so. We actively support mediated outcomes and see this as the preferred path, not a fallback.
Children-centred in all child matters
Every arrangement involving children is assessed first by asking what serves the child's stability and wellbeing. This principle shapes our advice, not just our language.
No timers on consultations
We do not bill by six-minute units or schedule meetings with a 30-minute hard stop. First conversations run as long as they need to.
Private from the first contact
Reaching out is private. We do not use shared intake systems or pass enquiries to junior staff. Your first message is read by a qualified member of the team.
