Can a foreigner hire a Thai lawyer for a condo or villa dispute in Phuket, Samui or Pattaya?

Yes. Foreign nationals can instruct a Thai lawyer licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand; only licensed Thai lawyers may appear in Thai courts, and legal practice is a reserved occupation for Thai nationals. Typical disputes involve developer delays, deposit refunds, juristic-person fees, or lease-back terms. Cases are filed in the court with jurisdiction — for example the Phuket Provincial Court, Koh Samui Provincial Court or Pattaya Provincial Court — and proceedings are conducted in Thai, so foreign-language contracts and evidence need Thai translations. Our partner network can meet you on the island or in Pattaya and collect documents; consultations by video call are also possible. Call 092-0170000 or LINE @THAIL — service fees on request.
