Professional expertise in Thai family law
Our solicitors have worked across consultations, court-filed parenting cases, and cooperative agreement drafting in Thailand. That range of direct experience shapes how we assess situations and explain options.
- Registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand
- Direct experience across Thai Family Court proceedings
- Ongoing professional development in family law updates
A note on how we work
"We try to give advice in the same way we would to a close family member — honestly, without overcomplicating it, and with real attention to what matters most to this particular family."
— Siriporn Phuengpha, Founding Partner
What clients tell us
- "They never made me feel rushed."
- "I actually understood what was happening."
- "The summary they gave me after our first talk was really helpful."
A different kind of client experience
We keep our caseload small by design. Each client receives consistent attention from the same team member, not rotating staff. Responses to messages arrive within one working day. Appointments are never double-booked.
- Named point of contact for every matter
- Written summary after each consultation
- One working day response to all enquiries
Transparent, predictable fees
Our fee structure is straightforward. A written engagement letter confirms the scope and cost before any work begins, so you are never left guessing. There are no hidden administration charges or surprise invoices.
- Initial Family Consultation from ฿1,460
- Parenting & Support Arrangements from ฿2,930
- Cooperative Agreement Drafting from ฿4,140
Focused on what actually works
Contested proceedings cost more — in money, in time, and in emotional effort. Where cooperation is possible, we work hard to find it. When matters do need to go further, we prepare thoroughly and communicate clearly throughout.
- Cooperative paths explored in every case
- Realistic advice about likely outcomes
- Honest guidance, not optimistic overstatements
How We Compare
A different kind of practice
This comparison is not about criticising other approaches — it is about being clear about how we choose to work.
| What to consider | Typical practice | Phuengpha Legal |
|---|---|---|
| Appointment pace | Set schedule, limited flexibility | Adapts to client's readiness |
| Summary after consultation | Not always provided | Written summary every time |
| Named contact person | Often rotates between staff | Same person throughout |
| Fee confirmation in writing | Verbal quote common | Written engagement letter |
| Cooperative approach explored first | Sometimes skipped | Always considered |
| PDPA data protection compliance | Varies by practice | Full compliance |
What Makes Us Distinctive
Things we offer that are less common
Written consultation summaries
After every consultation — including the first — we prepare a written summary of what was discussed. You leave with something tangible to read later, share with a trusted person, or simply refer to when questions arise.
A first conversation with no expectation
We do not treat an initial consultation as a commitment. You can listen, ask questions, and decide later. Many clients find that simply knowing their options makes a difficult situation feel less daunting.
Cooperative agreement focus
We have developed a drafting approach specifically for families who want to reach agreements cooperatively rather than through dispute. Documents are written to be understood by both parties, not just signed.
International family situations
We work with international residents whose family matters fall under Thai jurisdiction. We are experienced in explaining how Thai family law intersects with cross-border considerations and can advise on the practical implications.

See the difference for yourself — quietly and without obligation
A first conversation is simply that: a conversation. You ask what you need to ask. We listen and explain. From there, you decide.
