Lawyers in Bangkok are dime a dozen however there are very few law firms in Bangkok with an excellent reputation and as large or trustworthy as Law Firm in Thailand. British citizens have over the past 10 years spent more than 3 billion baht on property in Phuket alone.
Bangkok and Pattaya follow Phuket with property values. With more condominiums coming online in the later part of this year once again there will be an upsurge in property transactions in Thailand.
Thailand unlike your home country does not have all the checks and balances of a normal system:
1. Foreigners are not allowed to practice law in Thailand hence they do not fall under the Thai Bar Council;
2. There is no fidelity fund insurance in Thailand. If your lawyer in Bangkok runs off with your money – that’s it;
3. With no insurance there is hence no fallback if you are given incorrect legal advice;
4. Trust accounts do not exist hence it is not covered by the Bar Council either;
