There are practical reasons to choose Phithak beyond the quality of our legal work. This page sets them out clearly.

What Sets Our Approach Apart
Six qualities that define the Phithak experience for every client.
Qualified Specialists
Our practitioners hold current registration with the Lawyers Council of Thailand and have specific experience in pension-related legal matters.
Plain-Language Communication
We explain every step without relying on legal shorthand. Clients leave each interaction with a clear picture of where their matter stands.
Patient Pace
We do not rush clients toward decisions. The pace of the work is shaped by what is appropriate for the person, not for the convenience of the practice.
Strict Confidentiality
All client information is treated as private. We follow Thailand's PDPA requirements and do not share information outside the practice without explicit consent.
Transparent, Fixed Pricing
Published service prices starting from ฿3,800. No hidden additions; any deviation from standard pricing is discussed and agreed before work begins.
No Unnecessary Services
We suggest only what is appropriate for each situation. If a simpler or less costly option would achieve the same outcome, we will say so.
Expertise
Professional Knowledge You Can Rely On
Pension law in Thailand sits at the intersection of employment legislation, Social Security regulations, and civil procedure. It is not a general area of practice — it requires specific, up-to-date knowledge of how the relevant frameworks interact. The Phithak team has worked in this area for a number of years and keeps its knowledge current as the legal landscape changes.
- Registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand
- Specific experience in pension and employment legal matters
- Ongoing professional development in Thai labour law
- Familiarity with pension administration processes across both public and private sectors
Process
A Clear, Considered Process for Every Matter
From the first conversation to the conclusion of a matter, our process is designed to keep clients informed and in control. We do not make decisions on behalf of clients without their understanding and agreement. Each service has a defined scope and a clear starting point, and we explain what will happen at each stage before it does.
- Initial consultation establishes scope and next steps
- Written summary provided after each substantive step
- Correspondence reviewed and explained before it is sent
- Queries responded to within one working day
Client Service
A Service Built Around How You Actually Feel
Pension concerns often arise at already difficult times — following a loss, after a health event, or when retirement has not unfolded as expected. We understand this. Our client service approach is built on listening without hurrying, responding without jargon, and never making a person feel that their questions are unwelcome. Family members are welcome to be involved if that is helpful.
Value
Clear Pricing, Proportionate Services
Services are priced to reflect the work involved, starting at ฿3,800 for a consultation. Our aim is to ensure the service is proportionate to the situation — we do not encourage clients to take on more legal work than their circumstances actually require. Where a matter is more straightforward, we aim to deliver it efficiently and at the appropriate cost.
- Published, transparent starting prices
- No surprises — cost discussions happen before work begins
- Services scaled to what the situation actually needs
Outcomes
Honest About What Legal Work Can Achieve
We are not in the business of overpromising. Legal outcomes depend on the facts, the law, and the decisions of third parties. What we do commit to is applying our knowledge and care carefully to every matter, presenting your position as clearly and effectively as possible, and keeping you informed about the realistic range of possibilities throughout. Clients consistently tell us that knowing what to expect is as important as the outcome itself.

What Makes Us Different
Distinctive Features of How We Work
The Reassurance Panel
Every client matter includes a structured reassurance session — a point in the process where we pause to answer your questions in plain terms, address what you are worried about, and make sure you feel settled about what happens next.
Family-Inclusive Working
We actively welcome family involvement where the client wishes it. This is not common in legal practice, but we recognise that pension matters often affect the whole household, and that having a trusted person present can make a real difference.
Proportionality as a Principle
We match the level of legal involvement to what the situation actually needs. This principle is applied consistently — not just as a marketing position, but as a genuine part of how we assess and manage each case.
Bangkok-Based, Accessible Beyond
Our Asok Montri Road office is easily reached by BTS. For clients outside Bangkok, we offer remote consultations and correspondence handling so that geography is not a barrier to accessing the support they need.
