From the People We Have Supported

Naphat Rattanachai

Chiang Mai, Thailand · May 2025

I came to Krua Chambers feeling completely at sea about a separation that had been dragging on for months. The consultation was calmer than I expected — they listened to the whole story before saying much, then explained exactly where things stood. The written summary I received the next day was genuinely useful. I have now started the cooperative resolution process with their help, and things feel much more manageable.

Hang Dong, Chiang Mai · April 2025

The matter I brought to them involved a parenting arrangement that my former partner and I could not agree on ourselves. Surachai helped us get to a written agreement without it becoming adversarial. The process took about three weeks, which was longer than I had hoped, but he explained why at each point and I always felt informed. The agreement itself is clear and both sides have stuck to it since.

David McCallum

British national, Chiang Mai · May 2025

As a foreigner dealing with a Thai family law matter, I was worried about navigating a system I did not understand at all. Pranee handled everything in both English and Thai, explained every document I needed to sign, and kept me updated throughout. The full proceedings service was exactly what I needed — thorough, discreet, and managed with real care for the outcome. I could not have done it without this team.

Wanlaya Phomthong

San Sai, Chiang Mai · March 2025

I only needed a single consultation — just to understand my position before making a decision. It was worth every baht. Pranee was direct without being blunt, gave me the information I needed to think things through, and did not try to push me toward a more expensive service. I appreciated that honesty. I have recommended Krua Chambers to two friends since then.

Thanakrit Kiewkla

Doi Saket, Chiang Mai · April 2025

Our matter went to court in the end, which I was dreading. Apinya was thorough in preparing me for each hearing — she went through what questions might be asked, what the judge was likely to consider, and what I should and should not say. The case took four months, and there were two moments where I was worried about the direction things were going. She explained both clearly and things resolved in a way I can live with.

Malai Lertchairat

Chiang Mai City · May 2025

What stood out was how much attention they paid to the children's side of things. In every conversation about the arrangement, Surachai kept coming back to what would work best for my daughter long-term, not just what was legally feasible. That mattered enormously to me. The agreement we reached reflects that, and my daughter has settled into the new arrangement more easily than I expected.

How Matters Were Resolved

These summaries describe the kind of matters we handle — circumstances have been changed to protect privacy.

Case Study · Parenting Arrangement

The Challenge

A Thai-British couple with two young children had separated and could not agree on a parenting schedule. Communication had broken down and both parents were anxious about the children's adjustment to the new situation.

Our Approach

We began with individual consultations for each parent, then facilitated mediation preparation sessions. A draft schedule was proposed with the children's ages and activities in mind. Three rounds of negotiation brought both parties to agreement without court involvement.

The Outcome

A signed parenting agreement was reached within seven weeks. Both parents reported reduced stress, and six months on, the arrangement has required only minor adjustments. Completed under Cooperative Resolution Support.

"We thought this would turn into a long, expensive court battle. It did not, and both children have settled back into their routines."

Case Study · Formal Divorce Proceedings

The Challenge

A Thai woman in her late forties sought legal separation from a long marriage that had involved shared property and a family business. Her former spouse had legal representation, and she felt she was at a significant disadvantage.

Our Approach

We undertook Full Family Proceedings Support. The case required careful documentation of assets, attendance at four hearings over five months, and ongoing correspondence with the opposing counsel. The client was briefed before and after every significant development.

The Outcome

The court issued a decree that included a fair division of shared assets. The client retained her right to the family home and received a structured settlement. The matter concluded in five and a half months.

"I felt like I had someone genuinely in my corner — not just someone doing a job. That made the difficult days much easier to get through."

Case Study · First Consultation to Clarity

The Challenge

A recently separated man was unsure whether to pursue formal proceedings or try to handle matters informally. He had received conflicting advice from friends and family and was paying significant emotional cost to indecision.

Our Approach

A single Family Matter Consultation was arranged. We listened carefully, identified the key legal questions, and explained what Thai law provided for in his specific situation. We also outlined the practical differences between a cooperative and a formal route in his case.

The Outcome

He chose to pursue a cooperative path with a different adviser recommended by us, as his situation did not require full representation. The consultation resolved his uncertainty and allowed him to move forward with confidence.

"An hour and a half was all it took to feel clear-headed again. I left knowing what I was going to do, and why."
