Thailand Bail WINS !!! Proof that Foreigners Can Win Cases Against Thais in Thailand

Thailand Bail’s lawyers and international legal team won an important case in Rayong today, 24 July 2025. Not only did we win the case for our Australian defendant, we counter-sued the Thai plaintiffs who brought the case against our client. Against what many foreigners believe about Thai law, foreigners can win cases against Thais, when the evidence supports them. Our lawyers vigorously defended our client in the Rayong Court, winning the case against him, as well as successfully counter-suing for over 200,000 Thai baht in compensation. This is a great win for our team, and we also thank our client for working together with us for this win. This is Thailand Bail’s approach – a collaboration with our client. Of course, we are the legal experts in Thailand, but it is the life of our client on the line. We utilized this collaborative approach with our client to come up with the right evidence to show the police and prosecutor. Further than that, we discovered evidence that would help our client counter-sue, which we recommended to him.

Car Crash or Auto Accident Lawyer in Thailand

This post is about a recent story involving a Thai rock singer, Tik Shiro, who was involved in a fatal car crash / auto accident in Thailand. From the article on the Bangkok Post, in a tragic incident on October 10, 2024, renowned Thai rock singer Manaswin “Tik Shiro” Nuntasane was involved in a fatal accident in Bangkok’s Sai Mai district. While driving his van on a bridge over Theparak Road, he collided with a motorcycle carrying siblings Thianporn and Chakkrapat Siwapornpitak. The accident resulted in the immediate death of 28-year-old Thianporn, while her 21-year-old brother, Chakkrapat, sustained severe injuries and, after over 70 days of hospitalization, passed away on January 18, 2025.

Following the incident, Tik Shiro and his family offered compensation of 4–5 million baht to the victims’ family. However, the Siwapornpitak family deemed this amount insufficient, especially after losing both children, and requested 24 million baht in compensation. Negotiations have been challenging, with the singer’s family expressing readiness to take responsibility but finding the demanded sum beyond their means.

We Win: Successfully Clearing a Drink Driving Case Over the Limit

Thailand Bail recently successfully cleared a drink driving case where our client was well over the legal limit of alcohol in his blood. In Thailand, there are various limits of blood-alcohol levels, including one limit over which the police are typically obligated to press criminal charges. This potentially lead to prison time as well as being deported and blacklisted from Thailand. However, Thailand Bail’s lawyers and case managers were able to successfully clear this case for our client in Nonthaburi, just north of the capital Bangkok. Read below for more information on our recent success, which is also highlighted in our “Success Story” webpage as Success Story #16.
