Thai Law for Foreigners - The Thai Legal System Easily Explained Review
A friend of mine gave me this book. I like it so much that I decided to get another copy for another Thai friend. I read it quickly because it's in Thai and I can read the english for refernce. My husband and I are Thai but live in the U.S. We learn from the book about Thai citizenship, marriage, the legal procedures in Thailand. I especially like the chapter about the history of Thai law and the structure of the Thai governement. It reminds me of what I learned in school. I also learn about the court system in Thailand. I never go to court but it's interesting to know the process. I haven't seen other books that explain the procedure as well as this one. The book is easy for me to read. Many law books in Thai are hard to read and they are like text books. The English translation is very good too.

Not sure how useful this is - D. J. Nardi - Washington, DC
Thai Law for Foreigners - The Thai Legal System Easily Explained seems like a book without an audience. It's not an academic or analytical overview of Thai law. Rather, it purports to be a practical guide to surviving in the Thai legal system. However, much of the book isn't very practical at all. Much of it is taken up with information that is easily found off the internet, such as embassy addresses (and the internet will be more updated). Some of the advice is more common sense, such as how to find a Thai person who can speak English to translate (there are enough of them that this shouldn't pose an insurmountable problem). Moreover, half the book is the same material simply translated into Thai, which doesn't make much sense - Thai readers can probably find a better book on Thai law. After reading it, I couldn't help feeling that some 75% of what I paid for was either useless or superfluous information. I guess it might be useful for expats living in Thailand for long periods, but it certainly isn't necessary.
