Arrested in Thailand? Your Rights to Silence, an Interpreter, a Lawyer and Bail

Leave a Comment / Criminal Law /

If you are arrested in Thailand, you have rights concerning statements, interpretation, private legal consultation and provisional release. You can request release during custody without waiting 48 hours. State-provided lawyers depend on statutory conditions, while bail does not always require cash security. The stage of proceedings determines how each safeguard applies.

Working on a Student Visa in Thailand? What Happens After Arrest

Leave a Comment / Work Permit /

A Thai student visa does not itself authorise employment. Working without permission can lead to a fine and removal, even while permission to stay remains valid. The procedure, custody, immigration orders and future work-permit eligibility must be assessed separately. Employers face their own penalties; neither automatic detention nor a fixed re-entry ban should be assumed.

Zombie Pods in Thailand: Etomidate Charges, Bail and Immigration Risks

Leave a Comment / Drug Laws /

Zombie pods in Thailand may expose users to psychotropic-substance charges, not simply a vaping penalty. Liability depends on the substance, laboratory findings, knowledge and circumstances. Personal-use possession has a separate penalty provision. Bail and immigration consequences require individual decisions; one pod does not automatically establish dealing or make a foreign suspect ineligible for bail.

Can You Postpone a Court Hearing in Thailand? Grounds, Evidence and Risks

Leave a Comment / Litigation /

You can request an adjournment in Thailand, but filing the request does not cancel the hearing. The court must assess the applicable legal conditions and evidence. A new lawyer, illness or agreement between the parties does not guarantee permission. Until the court orders otherwise, confirm attendance obligations and remain prepared for the original date.

Forced to Transfer Bitcoin in Thailand? Supreme Court Judgment 4929/2569 Explained

Leave a Comment / Criminal Law /

A forced Bitcoin transfer can support a robbery conviction in Thailand. In Supreme Court Judgment 4929/2569, the court treated the Bitcoin transferred under violence and threats as property. The decision does not make Bitcoin legal tender or turn every crypto loss into robbery; the conduct, evidence and recovery claim still require individual assessment.

How Thai Judges Decide Your Sentence: What the 2026 Sentencing-Guideline Review Means

Leave a Comment / Criminal Law, Drug Laws /

Thai judges determine sentences within the applicable legal framework, considering the offence, the defendant’s role and relevant individual circumstances. Sentencing benchmarks guide discretion but do not replace the law. The reported 2026 review of these benchmarks does not itself introduce new penalties or guarantee a lighter or heavier sentence in any particular case.

Posted a Bad Review in Thailand? When Criticism Can Become a Defamation Claim

Leave a Comment / Criminal Law, Consumer Rights /

A negative restaurant review in Thailand is not automatically unlawful. Good-faith, fair criticism may be protected, but the wording, evidence and publication context matter. Unsupported allegations of fraud can create criminal and civil risks. A demand for compensation is not a court judgment, and a receipt does not protect every statement in a review.

Barrister Garn Tuntasatityanond reviewing shareholder agreements for a Thai 51:49 company, with a fact-check statement dated 25 October 2026.

Side Agreements in Thai 51:49 Companies: Can They Protect Your Investment?

Leave a Comment / Business Law, Foreign Business, Property Laws /

Side agreements in Thai 51:49 companies are not automatically invalid. However, contracts designed to evade foreign business or land-ownership restrictions may be unenforceable and can jeopardise recovery of money. A Thai-majority shareholding ratio is not a guarantee of legality: the ownership tests, funding, actual rights and purpose of the arrangement all matter.

Can Public Complaints Lead to Visa Revocation in Thailand?

Leave a Comment / Visa, administrative law /

Public complaints can lead to visa revocation in Thailand, but they do not automatically justify it. A final criminal conviction is not always required. Authorities must still act on a lawful basis and supporting evidence. Temporary-stay revocation, detention, removal and re-entry restrictions are separate questions, and appeal deadlines can be short.
