Why Choose Krung Counsel — Benefits & Approach

At a glance

Six reasons families choose Krung Counsel

14+ years of family law experience

Our senior practitioners have navigated a wide range of family matters across Thai and international contexts. That depth of experience shapes every piece of advice we give.

Fully bilingual in English and Thai

All legal documents and client communication are handled fluently in both languages. International families receive the same depth of service as Thai clients.

Low-conflict, agreement-focused approach

We prioritise mediation and calm negotiation wherever the situation allows. Families who reach agreements rather than contested judgments tend to recover more easily.

Fixed fees, stated clearly in advance

Every engagement begins with a clear fee agreement. Costs for each service are shown on our website and discussed before any work starts. No billing surprises.

Absolute client confidentiality

Every matter is handled under strict professional privilege. Files are encrypted, access is limited, and no information about clients is ever disclosed externally.

Child wellbeing always considered

In matters involving children, we follow a structured wellbeing framework. Our advice considers the impact on all family members, particularly younger ones.

Professional expertise

Practitioners with real depth in Thai family law

Thai family law draws on the Civil and Commercial Code, the Child Protection Act, and a body of court precedent that shifts over time. Our practitioners follow these developments closely — attending Bar Association updates and reviewing court decisions as they are published.

How a matter typically progresses

1Initial conversation — we listen and understand your situation fully
2Written summary of your options with honest observations
3Agreed engagement scope and clear fee confirmation
4Regular updates at each substantive stage
5Closing report confirming outcomes and any follow-up steps

Clear process

A structure that reduces uncertainty

One of the most stressful aspects of any legal matter is not knowing what happens next. We address this from the first meeting — explaining the likely stages, the expected timeline, and the points at which decisions will need to be made.

Client experience

Always a person, never a ticket number

Many clients have told us their previous experience with legal services felt impersonal. They received correspondence full of legal language, rarely spoke to the same person twice, and felt they were a case rather than a family.

At Krung Counsel, the practitioner you meet at the first session is the one who handles your matter throughout. You have a direct contact and a straightforward way to reach them during working hours.

What sets us apart

Distinctively different in four ways

Mediation-first, court-last

We have a certified mediator in-house and actively guide clients toward agreement before considering court proceedings. Litigation is sometimes necessary — but it is never our first recommendation.

Written summary after every session

After each consultation or significant meeting, we send you a plain-language written summary. You should never need to rely on memory alone for what was discussed.

Video consultations available from the start

For clients who find it easier to speak from home — or who are based outside Bangkok — all initial consultations can take place by video call without any reduction in quality.

International family experience

We have handled matters involving families from over eighteen countries. We are familiar with the procedural requirements for legalising Thai family documents for use abroad, and with the complexities of multi-jurisdiction family situations.
