About me
In Thailand, nicknames are typically used instead of birth names. My nickname is Kiki.
I have a great love for exploring local cuisines and traveling.
My initial trips were during my academic years to South Korea and Taiwan, where I traveled to work on tax report projects with my classmates. As I progressed in my career, I was fortunate enough to travel to Europe and other parts of East Asia.
I came across distinct cultures that taught me the importance of embracing differences. Since, most of my clients are Westerners, I understand their preference for direct communication and detailed explanation.
My Qualification
My interest in law began before I enrolled at the university. I gained my initial experience as a part-time paralegal during my studies. Although my primary focus in my professional life has been on property law, I have also developed an interest in taxation.
I am a licensed Thai lawyer with attorney certification, which is required to represent clients in court trials. In addition, I am also a public notary with extensive experience and knowledge in areas such as property purchases, estate administration, company establishment, and family law.
Thammasat University
Master’s classes gave me in-depth knowledge of the tax code, which had long been my interest. My advantage is that I offer the aforementioned services in line with the tax context. It ensures that a client’s issue is resolved efficiently from both legal and tax perspectives.
Institute of Legal Education, Thai Bar Association
Passing the Thai Bar Association exam proves the comprehensive knowledge that extends far beyond the standard bachelor’s program.
Lawyers Council of Thailand
Only those who pass an exam, which is preceded by extensive practice under the supervision of a qualified attorney, are permitted to operate as individual attorneys and represent clients.
Chulalongkorn University
I primarily focused on civic code and law because they closely accompany the life of every one of us, from the point of birth, through marriage, family life and property purchase up to retirement.
Absolute Lawyer Hua Hin Limited
In my law office I face difficulties arising out during the legal process which mostly and immediately pop-up in the last minute before closing i.e. changing the term of payment, problem of transfer money from abroad, failure to furnish necessary documents required by the land office, invalid of Land Office Power of Attorney, expiration of passport, dispute of income tax of landlord/developer, even an incorrect of company minute of meeting etc. These are common issues that can cause a real estate transaction to fail, but I am prepared for the unexpected circumstances. Protecting your property interest is imperative to my legal practice.
SCL Nishimura C&P Limited
(formerly Chavalit and Partner Limited)
I guided clients through the legal process and ensured that proper procedures were followed during the acquisition or sale of properties. Although I could not claim that every transaction I handled went smoothly, my detailed contract reviews resulted in a 100% accomplishment rate for property closings, regardless of the transaction size.
Why hire me?
Despite my sunny character and easy-going nature, I approach the issues that clients bring to me with seriousness.
I understand the fear and uncertainty that expatriates experience when making large transfers to purchase new homes, as I am well aware that things do not always go smoothly in Thailand. Rather than telling clients what they want to hear, I offer solutions based on facts and honesty because I care about their situation and future.
On the other hand, dealing with the inheritance procedures of a loved one who has passed away can be emotional. I realize the seriousness of the situation and compassionately guide clients through difficult times.
