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.
 what a waste of money March 18, 2008

Most of this book appeared to be an attempt to fill space, there is very little useful information contained in it. For a start, the first half is in English, and this is then repeated in Thai - the title suggests this book is aimed at foreigners, I'm sure someone fluent in Thai could find a much better book in Thai. There are pages and pages of pointless lists - kings and prime ministers of Thailand, embassy addresses, lists of the ranks used in the army and navy, the sort of stuff it presumably takes 5 minutes to look up but which is of no use or interest to a foreigner wishing to know something about Thai law.
It's very helpful. March 10, 2008

I learn a lot about the structure of the Thai government and the legal procedures in Thailand which is very well explained. The chapter on prenuptial agreement and the dowry alone makes the book worth buying. Everyone I recommended the book to says it's very helpful. It's a good reference material in many aspects about Thailand.
