Why Thammarak
The Reasons Clients Return to Us
When pension matters feel uncertain, people need more than legal paperwork — they need a practice that listens, explains clearly, and works carefully on their behalf.

Six Reasons to Choose Thammarak
Pension Law as a Specialism
We focus specifically on pension and social security matters. That focus means we know the procedures, the documentation requirements, and the appeal routes thoroughly.
Named Adviser, Not a Queue
You will know which adviser is handling your case and you will be able to reach them directly. There is no helpdesk to navigate and no explanation required every time you call.
Fixed Fees, Stated Upfront
Each service carries a clear price. You will know the cost before we begin, and it will not change unless the scope changes — and only then after a conversation with you first.
Plain, Understandable Language
Legal terminology is translated into plain English throughout the process. You will always understand what a document means, what a step involves, and what the likely outcomes are.
Careful Document Handling
We take responsibility for gathering, reviewing, and organising the paperwork your case needs. Files are checked thoroughly before anything is submitted to an authority.
Consistent Progress Updates
You receive an update whenever something changes in your case — and a regular summary during quieter periods, so you are never left wondering where things stand.
In Detail
What Each Advantage Means in Practice
Pension Law Expertise
General law firms handle many different areas of law, which means no single team member can know any one area in great depth. Thammarak has always worked within pension and social security law specifically — which means our team understands the Thai Social Security Act, the Government Pension Fund regulations, and sector-specific retirement schemes in proper detail.
- Familiarity with SSO appeal procedures and deadlines
- Knowledge of GPF entitlement calculation methods
- Experience with documentation requirements across agencies
"Pension law involves specific procedural steps that are easy to miss if you are unfamiliar with them. Missing a deadline or submitting incomplete paperwork can set a case back by months. Our work is to prevent that from happening."
— Kasem Thammarak, Founding Counsel
What a personal service looks like
- Your case is reviewed by a qualified adviser, not an assistant or automated process
- Consultations are scheduled at times that work for you
- Questions are welcomed at every stage — there is no such thing as a question that is too basic
- Documentation is explained to you before you sign anything
A Genuinely Personal Service
We limit the number of cases we take on at any one time precisely so that we can give each one proper attention. When you contact us, you will speak to someone who knows your case. That should be ordinary — but in practice it is not always so.
Transparent, Accessible Pricing
Legal fees can feel opaque. Thammarak publishes its service fees clearly because we believe you should know what you are committing to before you commit to anything. Our fees reflect the work involved — nothing more.

What Sets Us Apart
Distinctive Features of How We Work
Pre-Engagement Case Assessment
Before any fee is agreed, we take the time to understand your situation and tell you honestly whether our services are the right fit. We do not accept cases we cannot serve properly.
Written Engagement Letter
Every client receives a written engagement letter setting out exactly what we will do, what the fee is, and what the expected timeline looks like. Nothing is left to assumption.
Deadline Management Included
Appeal deadlines in Thai pension law are strict. We track all relevant dates and take responsibility for ensuring submissions are made in time.
Confidential from the First Contact
Everything you share with us — from the first telephone call onwards — is treated as confidential. We do not discuss client cases outside the practice under any circumstances.
