Here at The Pattaya News we often get e-mails and messages asking us to get involved or investigate often complex disputes between individuals, businesses, or even government organizations and law enforcement.
These stories are often difficult to run and publish in Thailand, partially due to Thailand’s extremely strict libel and slander laws which make “name and shaming” style reporting, common in the West, nearly impossible to do in Thailand. Unlike many western countries, the press is not exempt from these laws. Additionally, we are a small news company and don’t have the resources or staff to properly get involved in extensive disputes and investigative journalism.
If the matter is criminal, it’s essential a police report is filed, sooner than later. No, police may choose not to get involved or investigate but having a record of the attempt to involve them is critical.
We work with and suggest Isaan Lawyers for your legal needs and any disputes that may have escalated or are escalating to a legal level in Thailand. At the very least, they can listen to what your particular dispute or issue is and give honest advice on what the next steps should be. We cannot stress enough how important involving a lawyer in a dispute is here, especially as the court system in Thailand is substantially different from western legal systems many readers are used to.
