Steady Counsel at Every Step
Pension matters are rarely simple. Our practice is built around the understanding that clients deserve to know exactly where their matter stands — and what it will require of them.
Dedicated Pension Focus
Our practice centres on pension law — not as one line among many, but as the primary area of our work. This depth informs every file we handle.
Clear Written Communication
Clients receive written updates at each procedural stage. We do not rely on verbal summaries — the record of your matter is always accessible to you.
Candid About Outcomes
We assess each matter as we find it and communicate our view clearly, including when the path forward is uncertain or when a particular course carries limited prospect.
Paced to the Client
Particularly in sensitive matters such as survivor claims, we work to the pace that suits the family or individual concerned — not to an imposed administrative schedule.
Transparent Cost Structure
Fees are stated at the outset of each engagement. We revisit cost expectations whenever there is a material change in scope or complexity — no surprises at the end of a matter.
Thailand Law Expertise
Our knowledge of Thai pension regulation and the relevant administrative bodies means clients are not navigating an unfamiliar system alone.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of the questions we encounter most often. If your question is not addressed here, we are happy to discuss it directly.
What documents do I typically need for a pension application?
The requirements vary depending on the nature of your employment history and the relevant authority. Generally, contribution records, employer letters, identity documents, and a history of insured periods are needed. For those with varied employment, self-employment periods, or gaps in records, additional supporting evidence is often required. We assess each file individually before advising on what is needed.
How long does a pension application process take in Thailand?
Processing times depend on the completeness of the file submitted, the nature of the entitlement, and the workload of the relevant office. A well-prepared file with complete documentation tends to proceed more straightforwardly than one requiring follow-up. We give clients an honest assessment of likely timelines at the outset, based on the specifics of their situation.
My initial pension appeal was denied. What are my options?
A denial at the initial appeal stage does not necessarily end the matter. Depending on the grounds for refusal, there may be further administrative review processes, grounds for judicial challenge, or regulatory avenues worth exploring. We review the refusal decision carefully and give a considered view of what paths remain, along with an honest assessment of their relative strength.
Can a surviving spouse claim pension entitlement after a partner's death?
Thai pension law does provide for survivor entitlements in a number of circumstances, though the eligibility criteria, required documentation, and procedural steps are considerable. The specifics depend on the type of pension, the length and nature of the employment, and the family relationship. We work through each survivor matter carefully, with attention to both the legal requirements and the family's circumstances.
How are your fees structured?
Our fees are fixed for the documentation preparation and survivor claim services, at ฿4,200 and ฿16,800 respectively. The dispute representation service at ฿33,200 is structured as an engagement with clear milestones and cost checkpoints. We discuss the full cost picture before any work begins, and we will inform you promptly if circumstances change in a way that affects the expected cost.
Is my information kept confidential?
All information shared with us is subject to legal professional privilege and treated with strict confidentiality. We do not share client information outside what is necessary to progress your matter, and only with your knowledge. Our data handling practices are described in full in our Privacy Policy.
