Attorney Aphiwat Bualoi LLB
Our managing Partner Mr. Aphiwat Bualoi LLB received his Batchelor of Law Degree (LLB) from Sukhothai Thammathirat University and is a fully qualified attorney at law (lawyer) accredited by The Law Society of Thailand and licensed to practice law in Thailand. Attorney Bualoi and his team represent clients in criminal, civil, and corporate cases in all courts of law in Thailand.
Having completed a Paralegal Certificate Program with Ohio University in partnership with the Center for Legal studies, USA, allows Mr. Bualoi a profound insight into International business legal norms and practices, as well as those particular to Thailand. This provides a perfect bridge of legal understanding for expatriate individuals and foreign-owned enterprises in Thailand as well as those outside the country wishing to operate in Thailand.
Attorney Bualoi’s experience working as a Paralegal for International Tax Council Ltd of Canada gives him a solid grounding in corporate and tax law, as well as having honed his excellent English language communication skills.
Attorney Bualoi believes it is ethical to only take on cases where he feels there is a reasonable or high likelihood of success. Therefore, you can expect an honest and level-headed assessment when discussing your requirements.
On a personal level, Mr. Bualoi is a Christian, exceptionally good-natured, and enjoys nothing more than meeting and supporting our international clients to achieve their legal objectives in the Kingdom of Thailand.
I have known and worked with Mr. Aphiwat Bualoi for several years. Aphiwat is a man of high character and integrity. He is fluent in English. He is disciplined and organized in his work, and I can recommend his services without reservation.

Excellent service writing a contract in both Thai and English. When Aphiwat wasn’t sure about something, he brought in a specialist colleague to help—all at the originally-quoted fee.

Excellent service and communication with Khun Aphiwat for preparing notarized documents for our visas. His office was responsive, friendly, and very professional. Parking was easy, and the office was comfortable. We highly recommend this office.

I recently worked with Aphiwat Law Firm, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His expertise in corporate law helped our company navigate complex legal matters and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. Throughout our partnership, Aphiwat displayed exceptional professionalism and attention to detail. He could effectively communicate complex legal matters in English for our team, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Aphiwat to any company seeking legal representation. Thank you for your exceptional service and commitment to our company. We look forward to continuing our partnership in the future.

Aphiwat was absolutely fantastic and did a great job. If you are looking for a lawyer who can speak English and be patient with tons of your questions, I highly recommend Aphiwat. Thank you again!

Amazing service! I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. I needed some documents to be signed and verified. Everybody spoke perfect English, the service was professional and helpful, and it was a very good experience all around. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Meeting Mr. Aphiwat and his associates has been a breath of fresh air. There’s so much opportunity in Thailand but many legal obstacles to overcome. Across multiple phone calls and visits, I was educated and advised on how to handle my matters clearly. I feel confident and empowered to move forward now and appreciate the work of Mr. Aphiwat and his team.
Brandon, United States
Aphiwat responded to my enquiry promptly in English. I got what I needed the following day at a reasonable price. On the second evening, I needed his help further. Again, he responded promptly after office hours and provided what I needed the following day. I will approach Aphiwat for legal services in the future if I need them again.
Aaron, Hong Kong
My Thai wife and I have consulted with Mr. Aphiwat on property legal issues, drafting and translation of contract forms, and communications with other parties. He and his team are very competent and personable. We appreciate the professionalism, honesty, and integrity. Not only is Khun Aphiwat’s English excellent, but his intelligence and thought process align perfectly with our needs and expectations. We feel that he is working with us, in our best interests, and keeping fees affordable.

Working with Aphiwat has been a complete pleasure. His very practical knowledge of Thai law covers most business and personal needs. Very upfront and professional at all times, makes him a good partner in any legal adventure in Thailand. Well done Aphiwat!
Michael, Belgium
We needed some documents notarized for legal purposes back in the UK. My wife phoned to enquire, and he came around to the house two hours later that morning. Aphiwat is extremely friendly, courteous and professional, and he speaks English very, very well. Would certainly recommend Aphiwat Law if you require Notary Public or other legal services. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in using Aphiwat Law in the future for legal requirements. Very, very highly recommended.
