Complete guide: Bilingual Thai Legal Consultation for Individuals, Expats & SMEs
What it can cover
Separation of personal and marital property, management of assets and income. Terms contrary to public order or morals have no effect.
Changes after marriage
A prenup can be changed after registration only with court permission.
Postnuptial agreements
Under Section 1469, contracts between spouses during marriage may be avoided during marriage or within one year after it ends, so they are less secure than prenups.
Foreign spouses and land
A foreign spouse of a Thai may need to confirm land purchase funds are the Thai spouse's personal property; keep this consistent with the prenup.
Language and translation
Bilingual agreements should state which language prevails, with certified translations for use abroad.
