Why Ratana Law
Thoughtful legal support — the kind that respects your pace
We have built our practice around a simple idea: that pension matters deserve careful attention, plain language, and a lawyer who puts your understanding ahead of urgency.

Six reasons people choose Ratana Law
These are not sales points — they are the qualities we consistently try to bring to our work with every client.
Focused pension expertise
Our work centres on pension law. We are not a general practice handling pension matters on the side — this is our specific field.
Plain-language explanations
We do not hide behind jargon. Every step is explained in terms you can understand and act on.
No pressure on your timeline
We move at your pace. Decisions are yours to make, and we will not create a sense of urgency where none genuinely exists.
Clear fees before you commit
Pricing is explained upfront. Nothing proceeds without your written agreement on scope and cost.
Full confidentiality
Legal privilege applies. Your information is handled with care and never shared without your consent.
Honest about what is possible
We set realistic expectations and tell you if we think a course of action is unlikely to achieve what you hope for.
Expertise
Lawyers who know pension law specifically
Pension entitlement in Thailand involves the Social Security Act, Civil Service Pension provisions, employer-run occupational schemes, and the procedures of the Social Security Office — each with its own requirements and processes. Our team has built experience specifically in this intersection.
That means when you come to us, you are not explaining the basics to a general practitioner. We already understand the landscape and can focus entirely on your individual situation.
- Over 16 years of experience in Thai pension and administrative law
- In-depth knowledge of Social Security Office procedures
- Experience with both private and civil service pension structures

Dedicated legal professionals
A conversation first. Advice second.
We have found that most people who come to us are not sure exactly what kind of help they need — they simply know something feels wrong about their pension situation. Our first role is always to listen, not to present solutions before we have understood the problem.
Client Service
A different kind of legal experience
Pension matters are often bound up with worry — about retirement security, about decisions that feel unfair, about not understanding a process that affects your financial future. We have built our client service around acknowledging that.
That means unhurried appointments, clear written summaries after each conversation, regular updates throughout any matter, and a genuine invitation to ask questions — however basic they might seem.
Value & Pricing
Transparent pricing in Thai Baht
We offer three clear service tiers, each with a published starting price. Before you commit to any tier, we will explain in writing exactly what is included and whether we expect any additional costs to arise.
We believe that people dealing with pension concerns should not face unexpected legal bills on top of everything else. Our fee agreements protect you from surprises.
- Published starting prices (฿7,200 / ฿11,000 / ฿13,800)
- Written scope and fee agreement before work begins
- No hidden charges
What you agree to is what you pay
We issue a letter of engagement for every matter, setting out fees and scope before any billable work begins. If circumstances change materially, we discuss this with you before proceeding.

What Makes Us Different
Distinctive qualities of our practice
Written summaries after every meeting
After each consultation, we provide a short written summary of what was discussed and what next steps, if any, were agreed. This is not standard practice — we include it because we believe clarity should not end when the conversation does.
Initial review without obligation
Our Pension Entitlement Review is structured so that you can have a thorough assessment of your situation before deciding whether you wish to pursue anything further. Many clients find that this review alone provides the clarity they needed.
Personal Data Protection Act compliance
We handle all client information in accordance with Thailand's PDPA. Our data handling procedures are reviewed regularly, and clients receive our privacy notice before sharing any personal information.
Remote consultations available
Not everyone can travel to Silom Road easily. We offer consultations by phone and video call, and handle document sharing securely — so geography need not be a barrier to getting sound legal input.
