Section 1661
Statutory text (Thai original)
ถ้าบุคคลผู้เป็นทั้งใบ้และหูหนวกหรือผู้ที่พูดไม่ได้ มีความประสงค์จะทำพินัยกรรมเป็นแบบเอกสารลับ ให้ผู้นั้นเขียนด้วยตนเองบนซองพินัยกรรมต่อหน้ากรมการอำเภอและพยานซึ่งข้อความว่าพินัยกรรมที่ผนึกนั้นเป็นของตนแทนการให้ถ้อยคำดังที่กำหนดไว้ในมาตรา ๑๖๖๐ (๓) และถ้าหากมีผู้เขียนก็ให้เขียนชื่อกับภูมิลำเนาของผู้เขียนพินัยกรรมนั้นไว้ด้วย ให้กรมการอำเภอจดลงไว้บนซองเป็นสำคัญว่า ผู้ทำพินัยกรรมได้ปฏิบัติตามข้อความในวรรคก่อนแล้ว แทนการจดถ้อยคำของผู้ทำพินัยกรรม
Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State
English translation
Where a person who is both deaf and dumb, or who is unable to speak, wishes to make a will as a secret document, he must, instead of making the declaration required by Section 1660 (3), write with his own hand on the envelope, in the presence of the district officer and the witnesses, a statement that the sealed will is his own; and if there is a writer, he must also write the name and domicile of the writer.
The district officer must certify on the envelope that the testator has complied with the preceding paragraph, instead of recording the testator's declaration.
