H:/ACS.../HANDOUTS/LAWYER.DOC (REVISED JULY 2003)

In an effort better to serve Americans in Thailand, the U.S. Embassy has compiled the following list ofThai law firms willing to assist English-speakers with a wide variety of legal concerns. Each firm listed below has

English-speaking attorneys on staff and in many cases, Bangkok-based firms are able to conduct correspondence inEnglish. Firms outside of the capital may not be able to offer a wide range of English services. It may be necessaryfor Americans to hire their own translator.

Firms are separated by location, with the largest number of firms located in Bangkok. This list containscontact information for attorneys in the Central and Southern regions of Thailand only. Those interested in

attorneys practicing in Northern Thailand should contact the Consulate General in Chiang Mai by phone at (66) (53)252-629. Inquiries may also be faxed to (66) (53) 252-633. The Consulate General is located at 387 VidhayanondRoad.
