This is the presumption in favour of bail and it is the most useful rule on this page.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Article 108 (CPC)<\/strong>: the seven matters that must be weighed on an application:\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the gravity of the charge<\/li>\n\n<li>the weight of the evidence so far<\/li>\n\n<li>the circumstances of the case<\/li>\n\n<li>how far the applicant for bail, or the security, can be relied on<\/li>\n\n<li>whether the accused is likely to flee<\/li>\n\n<li>the danger or damage that release might cause<\/li>\n\n<li>where the accused is held on a court warrant, any objection by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/inquiry-official\/\">enqu\u00eate officielle<\/a>, the prosecutor, the plaintiff or the injured person<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nSection 108 also allows conditions to be attached to release and, <strong>with the released person\u2019s consent<\/strong>, an electronic monitoring device.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Section 108\/1 (CPC)<\/strong>: the grounds on which release may be refused, namely that the accused will flee, will interfere with the evidence, will cause other danger, that the applicant or the security is not reliable, or that release would obstruct the investigation or the proceedings.

It now includes technology and focuses on human rights. The Criminal Procedure Code lets a court attach an electronic monitoring device as a condition of release, which can reduce the need for physical security. The power sits in <strong>section 108 itself<\/strong>, and it requires the released person\u2019s <strong>consentement<\/strong>; for anyone under 18 it may be ordered only where their conduct could seriously endanger others, or for other good reason. Section 108\/2 is a different provision: it lets a material witness object to a release that would put them in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the COVID-19 pandemic, courts increasingly granted bail via video hearings to minimize detention risks. The 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/immigration-bureau\/\">Bureau de l&#039;immigration<\/a> guidelines say that foreigners can get faster bail processing for overstay cases. This is true if they have valid repatriation plans. However, stricter enforcement against flight risks has led to more passport surrenders. Staying informed of these changes is crucial. Don\u2019t navigate Thailand\u2019s bail system alone: risks like prolonged detention or denied applications can be minimized with expert help.

Violent offenses (e.g., assault under Section 295) or those involving national security may face higher scrutiny. Drug-related charges are governed by the <strong>Narcotics Code B.E. 2564<\/strong>. Section 4 of the Act for the Promulgation of the Narcotics Code B.E. 2564 repealed the Narcotics Act B.E. 2522 together with all of its amendments and put the Code in its place, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/supreme-court-dika\/\">Cour supr\u00eame<\/a> has applied that repeal when re-sentencing cases decided under the old Act. They usually need high bail amounts because of flight risks. For possession, bail can start at 20,000 THB. For trafficking, it can go over 1 million THB. Immigration violations (e.g., overstay under Immigration Act Section 81) are handled separately, with bail possible but often conditional on resolving visa issues promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"typical-bail-amounts\">Montants typiques des cautions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Infraction<\/td><td>Montant de la caution (THB)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vol simple<\/td><td>50,000-200,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tentative de meurtre<\/td><td>200,000-1,000,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>usage\/possession de drogues<\/td><td>10,000-50,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/drug-laws-in-thailand-criminal-defense-lawyer\/\">Trafic de drogue<\/a><\/td><td>Jusqu&#039;\u00e0 2 000 000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>falsification de documents<\/td><td>Section 264 can vary widely (50,000-500,000 THB depending on severity).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thailand-visa-overstay-criminal-blacklists\/\">S\u00e9jour ill\u00e9gal\/d\u00e9passement de la dur\u00e9e de s\u00e9jour autoris\u00e9e<\/a><\/td><td>40\u00a0000 THB et plus\u00a0; les infractions li\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019immigration peuvent atteindre plus de 100\u00a0000 THB si elles sont combin\u00e9es \u00e0 d\u2019autres accusations.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les \u00e9trangers doivent s&#039;attendre \u00e0 des montants de caution plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s en raison du risque de fuite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"passport-immigration-alerts\">Passport &#038; Immigration Alerts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En cas de mise en libert\u00e9 sous caution en Tha\u00eflande, le passeport est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement conserv\u00e9 par le tribunal et les services d&#039;immigration sont inform\u00e9s.

Under <strong>section 119<\/strong> of the Criminal Procedure Code, where the bond is breached before the court, the court may enforce it without bringing a separate suit, though it may waive or reduce the sum having regard to the surety\u2019s efforts to find the accused. Under <strong>section 117<\/strong>, where the accused flees or is about to flee, an administrative or police officer may arrest them. Under <strong>section 115<\/strong> the officer or the court may instead raise the sum, require better security, or tighten the conditions. For foreigners, this often triggers immigration blacklisting and deportation proceedings under the Immigration Act B.E. 2522.
