What you receive when you work with us
Conversations, Not Transactions
Every appointment is an unhurried conversation. We do not run to a timer, and we do not move to the next question until the current one is properly addressed.
Written Record Every Time
You leave every consultation with a written summary of the discussion and the options identified. This document is yours to keep, share, and refer to.
Fully English-Language Service
All consultations, documents, and follow-up correspondence are in English. No interpretation barriers, no ambiguous translations in important documents.
Complete Discretion
Family matters are sensitive by nature. We maintain strict confidentiality as a professional standard and never discuss client matters outside the engagement.
Clear, Stated Fees
Our fees are stated before any appointment is arranged. There are no additions, no surprises, and no charges that were not agreed in advance.
Cross-Border Understanding
Many of our clients have connections to more than one country. We understand how international family circumstances interact with Thai law.
In Depth
A closer look at what we offer
Legal Expertise Focused on Family
Our practice focuses entirely on family law. This means our knowledge of Thai family legislation, international family frameworks, and the relevant court and authority processes is current and well-practised — not divided across unrelated areas.
- Twelve years of family law experience in Thailand
- Direct experience with Thai family court procedures
- Specialist knowledge in cross-border family arrangements
"Family law requires patience and precision — two qualities we treat as non-negotiable."
— Khaolak Family Practice Principles
What our service approach means in practice:
- Appointments arranged within 48 hours of first contact
- Written summary within 24 hours of each consultation
- Named contact for every client throughout the engagement
- Saturday morning appointments available on request
Service Built Around the Client
We do not expect clients to adapt to our process. Our process adapts to the client. Appointment times, communication preferences, and the pace of each engagement are shaped by what works for you.
Transparent Value at Every Stage
Each service has a stated fee. A first appointment is ฿2,600. Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are ฿6,400. Adoption counsel is ฿8,200. These figures cover the full scope of each service — there are no stage-gate charges or additional billing.
For clients who begin with a first appointment and choose to continue with a further service, we discuss fees again before any new engagement begins. Nothing is assumed.
How We Compare
A different kind of practice
Many legal services are structured around volume and speed. We are structured differently — around depth, clarity, and care for each client's particular situation.
Typical Legal Providers
- Appointments feel rushed, with limited time for questions
- Verbal advice only — written records require additional fees
- English services provided through a translator, adding layers of uncertainty
- Fee structure unclear until the invoice arrives
- Limited understanding of cross-border family arrangements
- Family matters handled alongside unrelated legal work
Khaolak Family
- Unhurried appointments with space for full discussion
- Written summary included as standard after every consultation
- All services conducted directly in English, no intermediary needed
- Fees stated clearly before any appointment is arranged
- Specialist knowledge of international family circumstances in Thailand
- Family law is our only practice area — full attention, every time
What Sets Us Apart
Features uncommon in legal practice
Post-Appointment Written Summary
Most practices deliver advice verbally. We close every appointment with a written record — provided as a matter of course, not as an add-on.
Family Law Only
We do not handle commercial disputes, property transactions, or immigration matters. Our focus is family law — which means your matter receives full attention, not a share of it.
No Continuation Pressure
A first appointment carries no expectation of a second. Many clients use us purely for a first opinion. That is a perfectly complete service, not a lost conversion.
International Family Orientation
A significant part of our work involves families with connections to more than one country. We understand the interaction between Thai family law and the situations of international clients in Phuket.
