Reviews

From our clients

"When I first called, I didn't know what I needed. The first conversation was longer than I expected, but nobody hurried me. By the end I had a much clearer sense of where I stood and what my options were. The written summary they sent afterwards was genuinely helpful."

SP

Siriporn P.

Bangkok · May 2025

"Arranging care time for our daughter was something my ex-partner and I both wanted to do cooperatively. Duangjai Counsel helped us structure the conversations so they stayed calm. The final arrangement document was clear and something both of us could stand behind."

Wanchai K.

Pathum Wan, Bangkok · June 2025

"As an expat navigating Thai family law, I was uncertain where to begin. The team here was very clear about how Thai civil law applied to my situation and guided me through the process without making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. I felt I was being told the truth, not sold a service."

MD

Martin D.

Sukhumvit, Bangkok · May 2025

"We used the mediation service and I want to say that Apinya's presence in those sessions made a real difference. She was very even-handed. My ex and I left each session having made progress without feeling like anyone had been pressured into anything. The agreement we reached was one we both understood."

Nuchara C.

Silom, Bangkok · June 2025

"I was worried that a legal consultation would feel cold and formal. It did not. Nattaya listened carefully and helped me understand the difference between what I feared and what was actually likely to happen under Thai law. That clarity was something I very much needed at that point."

PR

Pornthip R.

Ladprao, Bangkok · May 2025

"The child care planning service helped my former partner and me put something in writing that we could both trust. Pakorn explained each section of the document clearly before we signed. We have two children and wanted to feel sure the arrangement covered everything properly."

Case Stories

How we've helped families

These are anonymised accounts shared with permission to give a sense of how our work unfolds in practice.

Separation Advice · 2025

The Situation

A professional in her forties had decided to end a long marriage but was uncertain about the formal process under Thai law, particularly regarding shared assets and documentation required at the district office.

What We Did

After two unhurried consultation sessions, we provided a written summary of the legal steps required, the documentation needed, and the asset position under Thai civil law provisions. We answered questions that arose over the following weeks.

The Outcome

She felt confident enough to proceed at her own pace. The process was completed without court involvement. She later said the written summary had been something she read several times during the weeks that followed.

"I came in not knowing what I was allowed to ask. I left knowing what to do next, and that made an enormous difference."

Child Care Planning · 2025

The Situation

Two parents separating amicably wanted to put in place a clear arrangement for their two school-age children, covering where the children would live, holiday periods, and financial contributions from each parent.

What We Did

We met separately with each parent to understand their position, then worked through a draft arrangement document that addressed each area. A joint review session allowed both to agree on the final wording without any adversarial dynamic.

The Outcome

A signed arrangement covering all agreed terms, suitable for legal recognition. Both parents described the experience as calmer than they had feared. The children's school schedule was accommodated from the start.

"We wanted to do this in a way our children would not have to think about later. We feel we managed that."

Mediation Support · 2025

The Situation

A Thai-British couple wished to separate and had reached broad agreement on most matters but had difficulty discussing the remaining questions directly due to the emotional weight of their situation.

What We Did

After separate preparation meetings, we facilitated two mediation sessions over three weeks. Each session addressed specific topics with both parties present. We drafted the final agreement in bilingual format after the second session.

The Outcome

A bilingual written agreement covering all outstanding matters, signed by both parties. No court proceedings were needed. Both described the final session as having closed a difficult chapter respectfully.

"There were things we couldn't talk about directly. Having someone in the room who was calm and impartial made those conversations possible."
