Section 623
Statutory text (Thai original)
ความรับผิดของผู้ขนส่งย่อมสุดสิ้นลงในเมื่อผู้รับตราส่งได้รับเอาของไว้แล้วโดยไม่อิดเอื้อน และได้ใช้ค่าระวางพาหนะกับทั้งอุปกรณ์เสร็จแล้วแต่ความที่กล่าวนี้ท่านมิให้ใช้บังคับในกรณีที่ของสูญหายหรือบุบสลายเห็นไม่ได้แต่สภาพภายนอกแห่งของนั้น หากว่าได้บอกกล่าวความสูญหายหรือบุบสลายแก่ผู้ขนส่งภายในแปดวันนับแต่วันส่งมอบอนึ่ง บทบัญญัติทั้งหลายนี้ท่านมิให้ใช้บังคับในกรณีที่มีการทุจริตหรือประมาทเลินเล่ออย่างร้ายแรงอันจะปรับเอาเป็นความผิดของผู้ขนส่งได้
Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State
English translation
The liability of the carrier ends when the consignee has accepted the goods without reservation and has paid the freight and its accessories.
That does not apply where the loss or damage could not be seen from the external condition of the goods, provided that notice of the loss or damage is given to the carrier within eight days from delivery.
Nor does it apply where there has been dishonesty or gross negligence attributable to the carrier.
