sassienie Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Over the last few years I’ve had a few legal issues here in Thailand, mostly enquiries about property rights and ownership. My wife and I visited a lawyer in Mai Rim, Chiang Mai for some advice. After our consultation, he recommended to us some law books that gives details of all the laws of Thailand (The ACTS) in layman’s terms both in Thai and perfect English. These law manuals are the actual books that Thai lawyers call the Lawyers Bibles. There are 3 books: 1. Title: THE CIVIL AND COMMERCIAL CODE. Compiled & translated by Kamol Sandhikshetrin This is a thick hardback book each Act is covered by 1 page in Thai and another in perfect English. 1000 baht. The cover is red (left) white (centre) and blue (right) running down vertically from top to bottom of the cover. 2. Title: THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE. Translated by Mr. Yongyuth V`s yuthankun This is a thick soft back book each Act is covered by 1 page in Thai and another in perfect English. 230 baht. 3. Title: THE CRIMINAL CODE TRANSLATED THAI – ENGLISH Translated by Mr. Yongyuth V`s yuthankun This is a thick soft back book each Act is covered by 1 page in Thai and another in perfect English. 250 baht. I purchased these books about a year ago, so prices may have increased. Best 1480 baht I ever spent. The Books can be purchased at any good bookshop in Thailand, but check that they are up to date. The civil and commercial code : books I - VI and glossary / compiled and translated by Kamol Sandhikshetrin. - 8. ed. - Bangkok : Nitibannagarn, 2007. - getr. Zählg. Text in thailänd. u. engl. Sprache ISBN 974-447-303-7 NE: Sandhikshetrin, Kamol These books deal exclusively with the Laws of Thailand. I created this thread as a recommendation and nothing to do with any deviations or manipulations of law issues; details of which some jokers may wish to publish on this thread.

slimdog Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Not the best link I have ever provided, as the website is in Thai. But for people interested in Thai/English translated law books an online source can be found at: http://www.soutpaisallaw.com/ Maybe of use to someone..

TonySoprano Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 There is no law in Thailand. Only who you know and how much money you have. Plenty will fall between the cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
