How Much A Lawyer Cost In Bangkok?

[Makong Cowboy]

Is there any approximate of that cost? Any common hourly rate or something like that. For thais not for farangs. I just does know is it cheap or not by thai standards. Thanks.

I think you'll have to specify what kind of service you're interested in. Generally lawyers don't charge by the hour, but'll give you a quotation for the service(s) you're requesting. Usually mere consultation/advice is for free - in the hope you'll choose them to handle your case

If someone (thai) had found the posseion of drugs (yaa baa 20-40 pils) in h/shes house. Even it's not sure were the drugs h/shes. Anyway h/she had to go to the court and need advice of lawyer. And possible to go appeal court after that as well... hard to explain the situation. I just try to ask if someone has even slightest approximation of the costs of that kind of services for defending drug offenders (some poor thai who has salary a little less than 10 000 bahts a month) Thanks.
