Whoever commits the offence of assault causing grievous bodily harm shall be punished with imprisonment of six months to ten years and fined of ten thousand to two hundred thousand Baht.
Grievous bodily harm means:
(1) Blindness, deafness, severance of the tongue, or loss of the sense of smell;
(2) Loss of the reproductive organ or reproductive capacity;
(3) Loss of an arm, leg, hand, foot, finger, or any other organ;
(4) Permanent disfigurement of the face;
(5) Miscarriage;
(6) Permanent mental disability;
(7) Permanent disability, or suffering or illness causing pain for more than twenty days, or inability to pursue ordinary activities for more than twenty days.
Assault causing grievous bodily harm — loss of a sense or organ, disfigurement, miscarriage, insanity, or illness/incapacity for over 20 days — carries 6 months to 10 years imprisonment.
Whether injury qualifies as 'grievous' (esp. the >20-day limb) is the central fight and turns on medical evidence; otherwise the offence drops to §295.
