Six Things That Set Krathong Law Apart
Each reflects a deliberate choice about how we practise — not a marketing position.
Senior-Led Engagements
Every matter at Krathong Law is led by the same senior advocate from first consultation through to conclusion — not handed off once work begins.
Child-Centred Practice
The child's daily reality — schedule, school, relationships, emotional stability — is at the centre of how we draft plans and approach mediation.
Cross-Border Experience
We work regularly with families where parents, children, or court orders span multiple countries. International custody is part of our core work, not an occasional exception.
English Throughout
All client communications, documents, and advice are delivered in clear English. No reliance on translated summaries or intermediary interpreters for routine matters.
Fixed-Fee Services
Our three core services are offered at stated prices — ฿2,100, ฿8,000, and ฿10,500 — with fees confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Strict Confidentiality
Legal professional privilege, strict data handling under Thai PDPA, and a firm policy of not disclosing client information without written consent.
Professional Expertise
Krathong Law has operated as a family law practice since 2011. That means fourteen years spent exclusively on custody, co-parenting, and related family proceedings — a depth of pattern recognition that a general practice firm cannot replicate.

- 4Drafting, mediation, or court representation as agreed

A Clear Process
Family legal matters can feel unpredictable. Our process is designed to reduce that uncertainty — each stage is explained before it begins, and you are never left wondering what happens next.
We do not begin work until you have received and agreed to a written engagement letter that sets out the scope, the fee, and what we will deliver.
Communication You Can Count On
We respond to client enquiries within one business day. During an active matter, you will hear from us proactively — you should not need to chase for updates.
You will have a single point of contact for your matter throughout. That person knows your case, your history, and your preferences.
Email responses within one business day, typically sooner for urgent matters.
Calls and meetings scheduled within 48 hours of request during normal office hours.
Documents delivered with a covering note explaining what they say and what happens next.

Transparent Pricing
We publish our prices because we think clients deserve to know what they are committing to before any conversation begins. The amounts listed are the amounts you pay — no retainer surprises, no billing by the quarter-hour.
If the scope of a matter changes, we discuss the fee implications before proceeding. You remain in control throughout.

What Makes Us Different
Distinctive Features of Our Practice
Separate Pre-Mediation Consultations
Before any joint session, we speak with each parent independently. This surfaces concerns that often remain unspoken in joint meetings — and shapes a more productive mediation.
Plain-English Explanatory Notes
Every co-parenting plan or agreed-terms document is accompanied by a brief note written for the family — not for another lawyer — explaining what the document says and how to use it.
Court-Ready from the Start
Documents are drafted with Thai Juvenile and Family Court requirements in mind from the first version. Families who later need to formalise an arrangement do not face a complete redraft.
No Pressure to Litigate
We do not earn more from court proceedings than from settled matters. Our advice on whether to mediate, draft privately, or litigate is shaped solely by what appears right for the family.
