Six Reasons Families Choose Sawasdee Law
You Are Heard First
Every engagement starts with listening. We do not rush you toward a service — we take the time to understand what is happening before saying anything.
No Surprise Costs
Fees are fixed and clearly explained before you commit to anything. What we quote is what you pay — nothing is added after the fact.
Strict Confidentiality
Legal professional privilege protects everything you tell us. Our processes are designed to keep your information private from the first contact.
Specialists, Not Generalists
We work only in family law. That focus means our knowledge of Thailand's family courts and family code is deep and current.
Written Records Provided
You receive a written note after every important meeting. You will always know exactly where things stand and what comes next.
Experienced with Expatriates
International clients and long-term Bangkok residents are well within our experience. We explain Thai law in plain English without unnecessary jargon.

How We Compare
Sawasdee Law vs. Typical Providers
Not all family law practices approach their work the same way. Here is how our model differs from what many clients have experienced elsewhere.
| Feature | Typical Practice | Sawasdee Law |
|---|---|---|
| Fee structure | Hourly billing, open-ended | Fixed, disclosed in advance |
| Response time | 2–5 working days typical | Same working day |
| Practice scope | General practice, many areas | Family law exclusively |
| Meeting notes | Rarely provided | Written summary every time |
| Expatriate experience | Variable | Extensive, bilingual service |
| Child-welfare focus | Procedurally driven | Children's wellbeing central |
What Makes Us Different
Things You Will Not Find Everywhere
Written Meeting Notes as Standard
We produce a brief written summary after every meaningful discussion. Most clients tell us this single practice reduces their anxiety significantly — they always know where things stand.
No-Obligation First Consultation
Our initial session is structured so you can take away a clearer picture of your situation without any commitment to engage us further. That is rare in legal practice.
Formal Child-Welfare Protocol
In parenting matters, we follow an internal protocol that keeps the child's long-term interests at the centre of every document and every recommendation we make.
Bilingual Practice — Thai and English
Our team communicates fluently in both languages. Documents, meetings, and notes are available in either or both. International clients do not need a translator.
