A disposition of property taking effect on death, made in one of the forms prescribed by Book VI of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code (Sections 1646 to 1710). The ordinary form must be in writing, dated, and signed by the testator before at least two witnesses present at the same time, who then sign to certify the signature (Section 1656). Thai law recognises four forms: ordinary, holographic, public document and oral. The public document form, made at a district office, is governed by the Ministerial Regulation on the Making of Wills B.E. 2569, in force since 24 March 2026, which replaced the 1960 rules: it may now be made at any amphur or khet office rather than only the one holding your house registration, and the fee is 250 baht, with a certified copy at 50 baht.
