Will a Thai Divorce Apply My Country’s 50/50 Rule to My Pre-Marriage Assets?

[yozah]

I’m a foreigner planning to marry in Thailand, but I’ve read that if a couple has no prenuptial agreement, a Thai court will apply the husband’s home-country divorce rules to divide movable assets. My country allows a 50/50 split of all property—including what I owned before the wedding. If I later divorce in Thailand, could the court follow my national law and give my Thai wife half of my pre-marital savings, stocks, or crypto?

Section 22 – Thai Conflict of Laws Act (B.E. 2481)
“As regards property of husband and wife, if there is no antenuptial (prenuptial) agreement, the law of nationality shall govern. If the husband and the wife are of different nationalities, the law of nationality of the husband shall govern.

However, in respect of immovable property, the law of the place where it is situated shall govern.”
