Section 1169
Statutory text (Thai original)
ถ้ากรรมการทำให้เกิดเสียหายแก่บริษัท บริษัทจะฟ้องร้องเรียกเอาสินไหมทดแทนแก่กรรมการก็ได้ หรือในกรณีที่บริษัทไม่ยอมฟ้องร้อง ผู้ถือหุ้นคนหนึ่งคนใดจะเอาคดีนั้นขึ้นว่าก็ได้อนึ่ง การเรียกร้องเช่นนี้ เจ้าหนี้ของบริษัทจะเป็นผู้เรียกบังคับก็ได้ เท่าที่เจ้าหนี้ยังคงสิทธิเรียกร้องแก่บริษัทอยู่

Claims against the directors for compensation for injury caused by them to the company may be entered by the company or, in case the company refuses to act, by any of the shareholders. Such claims may also be enforced by the creditors of the company in so far as their claims against the company remain unsatisfied.
