If you’re an expat living in Pattaya or you own property or assets here, writing a valid Last Will and Testament under Thai law is one of the smartest decisions you can make. It’s not just about protecting what you’ve built, it’s about making life easier for the people you care about.

At ThaiLawOnline, we have helped many foreigners and mixed-nationality couples in Pattaya. We prepare clear and legal Wills in both English and Thai. Whether you live in Jomtien, Naklua, or Pratumnak, we can help you create a Will that gives you peace of mind.
Why You Need a Will in Thailand
Pattaya is home to thousands of expats—many of whom have Thai spouses, own condos, hold bank accounts, or even run businesses. But what happens to these assets when you pass away? If you die without a Will in Thailand, the law decides who gets your things. This process can be long, costly, and stressful.
A Thai Will avoids all of this. It ensures your wishes are followed, reduces conflict, and helps your heirs avoid delays in probate court. Whether you want to leave a condo in View Talay to your partner, savings in a Thai bank account to your children, or personal belongings to a friend, a Will ensures it’s done properly.
What’s Included in Our Service
When you draft a Will with ThaiLawOnline, we make sure it complies with Section 1655 of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code. Our service offers bilingual drafting in English and Thai. We list all your Thai assets, like condos, cars, and bank accounts. We also help with appointing an executor and guiding witnesses. Notarization or video documentation is available if you want it. We help clients with foreign assets align their Thai Will with their home country’s estate plan. This avoids conflicts between documents.
Who We Help in Pattaya
Our clients in Pattaya are diverse. They include retirees with long-term visas. We also have digital nomads who own assets in Thailand. Additionally, we serve expats who are married to Thai citizens. Whether you live in Central Pattaya or up in Huay Yai, we provide fast and accurate support without the need to visit our office. If you already have a Will from your home country, we can review and adjust it to comply with Thai law. If you’re just getting started, we’ll explain every step in clear, simple language.

Real Cases We’ve Helped
John, a retired British man living in East Pattaya, wanted to leave his condo to his Thai wife. Without a Will, the property might have gone to his siblings in the UK. Emma and Lars are a Swedish couple. They own a guesthouse in Jomtien. They made matching Wills to divide their business and personal assets. Marc, a remote worker with crypto assets and Thai accounts, needed a Will that included digital asset instructions.
Dying Without a Will in Thailand
If you pass away without a Will, your assets are divided based on the Thai legal hierarchy. Your foreign heirs may face difficulty accessing your bank accounts or transferring property. The process often involves court approval, certified translations, and legalized documents from your home country. With a Will in place, these issues are avoided or significantly reduced.
Our Process
Start by contacting us via email, Line, or phone. We’ll send a short intake form to collect the right information. Once we have the details, we draft your Will in both English and Thai. You review it, and we make any changes you request. When ready, we send you signing instructions with witness guidance. You can also request notarization or certified copies. Everything can be done online—no need to travel or deal with complicated paperwork.

Faqs for Last Will Pattaya
Can I include foreign assets in my Thai Will?
You can, but we usually suggest having a Will in each country where you own assets. This helps avoid legal issues.
Do I need to register my Will?
No, registration is optional. A signed Will with two witnesses is legally valid.
Can I leave assets to a Thai partner if we’re not married?
Yes, but you must clearly name that person in your Will.
Where should I store the document?
You can store it at home, with a trusted person, or request that we hold a copy for you. We have a storage service available at 1,000 baht additional for lifetime.
