Review from Carrie
“I was absolutely distraught at the thought of having to deal with my fathers funeral in Thailand, And I only had one week to get things sorted as I had to return to UK and my work! I didn’t speak the language or know the law but Kelvin at Thai888 law, was the most patient, kind and knowledgeable person who speaks English as well as having the benefits of his working partner being Thai, proved to be the most effective team going. I cannot recommend their services highly enough. Carrie”

Attorneys, dentists, and mechanics : We all need them, but negative stereotypes and past experiences have led us to subconsciously to avoid them, until absolutely necessary. As overseas expats, this problem is compounded by both the language barrier and general unfamiliarity of being in a foreign country.
In the West, people hold their breath nervously, as each second that passes in consultation with a lawyer costs serious money (along with any follow-up correspondence from even low level people). The exact opposite is true here: I was quite surprised at how generous Kelvin was with his time, out of basic human kindness. In fact, Kelvin even contacted local authorities about a unique situation that I had, without even being asked to do so, at no cost to me. All costs were more than reasonable, and spelled out clearly. Other law offices that I had misfortune of dealing with wanted exorbitant fees for even the simplest of paperwork, simply because they could get away with it in a foreign land, and because they spoke English.
Of course, having the job done correctly is the primary concern, and I was impressed with his attention to detail. My gut feeling tells me that this will be done right. I also know that he is reachable and responsive at all times, should I need to contact him. Kelvin has been here for 19 years, so he knows the lay of the land quite well. Did I mention how genuinely warm, friendly, and human he was? Again, that is one of those gut feel issues that intuitive people latch onto.
I never thought that I would be honored to write an upbeat appraisal for someone doing this Probate work, but here we are. Now if I could only find an honest dentist…?

Mr Kelvin.
You are my Angel in Thailand……
Thank you for your kind advice about how to handle my current situation. I felt stuck and was feeling defeated. I appreciate that you were able to give me some suggestions on how to move forward.
I want to express all my gratitude and I highly recommend you !
My name is Nora, I live in Mexico City.
Thank you for the kind words – it was great for me to talk and help someone from Mexico City. I just love the accent. Ms Nora unfortunately paid for and did not receive goods she purchased in good faith over the internet. Thai888 Law did some searches as the “company” was said to be based in Chonburi and only 20 klms from our offices. Upon seeing where the company was it was evident that it was an online fraud. No money can be returned as we cannot trace them. Ms Nora said that she called many people including the police and said there was a language difficulty until she found me an Aussie that has English as first language. Ms Nora said that Thai888 Law was listed on the Embassy website and this is how she found and contacted us. As we could not get anyone to compensate Ms Nora I suggested that she use a proper marketing co like Alibaba or Lazada as they hold payment until the goods are received in good order. Now we have a new friend and another great recommendation. Thank you Ms Nora and be happy healthy and wise.
Nora
you will be happy to know that the people that did not supply the Covid masks and PPE that you paid for were caught and their trial is pending – unfortunately you were not the only person conned by this group. One of them was a Filipino – I am sorry you lost your hard earned money and I was happy to have helped you.
Nora, I am happy to say that the detective work we did to find this bogus company and report to the police resulted in a few people being caught and sentenced to jail.
I am sorry about your hard earned money being lost and not getting it back. However, bad guys are now in prison and we may have stopped them cheating other people.
Covid has certainly turned the World upside down and pitted people against each other in many ways.
Regardless of this there is still Governments around the World using their powers to stop the pandemic in the best way they can.
However, life still goes on and because Thai888 Law is still here and open whilst many companies have closed for good. We dont rent and so we can keep going, in fact we have picked up a lot of work from smaller companies that failed due to no customers. We still offer our best services legally and many people that cant come back to Thailand have requested us to pay their insurances, common fees, make funerals with our own Abroad Funerals Pattaya, pay their accounts, taxes at the DBD and so we have been busy. Email is if you need our services info@thai888.com
