Labour Lawyer in Bangkok

Featured Replies

Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced labour lawyer in Bangkok?

It is in relation to an employer wrongfully terminating someone's employment early in a fixed-term contract.

Thanks!

An employee wishing to file a labor claim can obtain free assistance from a Thai Labor Department lawyer by going to the Labor Court - near Hua Lamphong MRT Station - at Google Maps coordinates 13.7359, 100.5201. Bring documentation concerning the identity of the employing company, the job and salary history, and any other relevant documents. Foreigners should bring a Thai to translate. There is a big room full of lawyers - if it is crowded, you take a number, and wait until they call you, and tell you which desk to go to. The free lawyer exists purely to help employees - and is an expert on labor law. He will question the employee, and - if the employee has a valid claim - the lawyer will fill out a court summons on the spot, requiring a company director to appear in court at a specified date and time - and ask the employee whether he prefers to deliver it to the employer himself, or whether it should be sent registered mail. The court date will typically be 5-7 weeks in the future.

There is no advantage for an employee to use a private lawyer.

Cheers!
