Firm annotation
Section 113 is part of Book 1 (General Principles) of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code. This entry is awaiting firm-authored commentary; the statutory text above is verbatim from the Office of the Council of State (OCS Krisdika) Thai source, with the English translation from the FAO/UN FAOLEX repository. Always rely on the Thai original for legal proceedings.
Why this matters in practice
For lawyers: verify that the foundation's registered name in the Department of Provincial Administration includes the word 'foundation'; omission is a registration defect. For laypersons: when donating to an organisation, checking that its name contains 'มูลนิธิ' confirms it is a registered foundation with legal standing.
Legislative history
Part of the original Civil and Commercial Code codification; no major subsequent amendment.
