Section 314: Tender of performance to creditor
Statutory text (Thai original)
อันการชำระหนี้นั้น ท่านว่าบุคคลภายนอกจะเป็นผู้ชำระก็ได้ เว้นแต่สภาพแห่งหนี้จะไม่เปิดช่องให้บุคคลภายนอกชำระ หรือจะขัดกับเจตนาอันคู่กรณีได้แสดงไว้บุคคลผู้ไม่มีส่วนได้เสียด้วยในการชำระหนี้นั้น จะเข้าชำระหนี้โดยขืนใจลูกหนี้หาได้ไม่
Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State
English translation
Performance of an obligation may be made by any third person, unless its nature does not admit of it, or the parties concerned have declared a contrary intention. A person who has no interest in the performance, cannot make performance against the will of the debtor.
