You buy a property in Thailand, commission a survey, and discover the neighbour's wall sits two metres inside your boundary. Or worse, someone has been living on part of your land for over a decade and now claims to own it. Land disputes are among the most bitter and expensive cases in Thailand, and the outcome often surprises people, because Thai law does not simply side with whoever holds the title deed. A trespasser can acquire ownership through possession. A neighbour who built over your line in good faith may be entitled to keep the building. This guide explains how encroachment and adverse possession work under Thai law, and what an owner must do to protect their land.

Road accidents, slip-and-falls, and other injuries happen to foreigners in Thailand every day, and Phuket's busy roads make them especially common. When they do, most people have the same two questions: who pays, and how much? Thai law gives an injured person a clear right to compensation from whoever caused the harm, but the amounts, the deadlines, and the evidence required are very different from those in Western countries. This guide explains how personal injury claims in Thailand work for foreigners, what compensation the law allows, the special rules for road accidents, and the strict time limit that decides whether you can claim at all.

Defamation isn't just a civil matter in Thailand — it can be a criminal offence, and "but it's true" won't always protect you. A careless review or social media post can lead to a complaint. Here's what actually counts as defamatory.
