Section 726
Statutory text (Thai original)
เมื่อบุคคลหลายคนต่างได้จำนองทรัพย์สินแห่งตนเพื่อประกันหนี้แต่รายหนึ่งรายเดียวอันบุคคลอื่นจะต้องชำระและได้ระบุลำดับไว้ด้วยไซร้ ท่านว่าการที่ผู้รับจำนองยอมปลดหนี้ให้แก่ผู้จำนองคนหนึ่งนั้น ย่อมทำให้ผู้จำนองคนหลัง ๆ ได้หลุดพ้นด้วยเพียงขนาดที่เขาต้องรับความเสียหายแต่การนั้น
Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State
English translation
When several persons have separately mortgaged their properties as security for the performance of one and the same obligation by another person and an order has been specified, the release granted by the mortgagee to one of the mortgagors discharges the subsequent mortgagors to the extent of the injury suffered by them thereby.
