Have a good look before you buy.

It has lists of the kings of thaialnd, government departments etc etc

but is not very detailed on actual law

You can get the "Civil and Commercial Code" in english which is very informative

I bought my copy at Asia books in the departures area for 650 Baht. (Yep I wanted something to help me sleep on a long flight)

As mentioned it’s limited in some aspects of the law but also fills in the blanks for other areas not readily available for free on the net. The back half is all in Thai. There are pages and pages of Thai statistical historical information plus examples of various legal forms.

My favourite website is the Thai Legal and Business guide http://bia.serverbox.net/003.html

Issan Lawyers have a lot of information on their website too.

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.
