Six Things That Distinguish Our Approach
Specialist Legal Knowledge
Our work is concentrated in pension legal matters. This means the team is familiar with the Social Security Act, the procedural requirements of the Social Security Office, and the conduct of pension-related proceedings in Thai courts.
Complete Documentation from the Outset
A poorly prepared claim file invites follow-up requests and delays. We assemble the full evidence pack before submission, including records sourced from former employers and the authority's own files where needed.
Fixed, Disclosed Fees
Each service carries a fee agreed in writing before work begins. Documentation preparation is ฿2,500; determination review is ฿5,800; litigation counsel is ฿8,100. No work outside scope is carried out without discussion and agreement.
Frank Assessment of Prospects
Before any court proceedings are commenced, we discuss the realistic prospects of the matter with the client. We revisit that assessment as the case develops, including when developments are not in the client's favour.
Administrative and Court Experience
We handle pension matters at every stage, from initial claim preparation through administrative review to court representation. Clients do not need to engage separate counsel as their matter progresses.
Strict Confidentiality
All instructions and file material are held under professional confidence in accordance with the ethical obligations of Thai legal practitioners. Information is shared only where the client has instructed it or the law requires it.
01 — Expertise
Legal Knowledge That Is Concentrated, Not General
A general legal practice may handle pension matters alongside commercial work, family law, and criminal defence. Ramkhamhaeng Law focuses its work in pension defence and pension rights, which means the team's familiarity with the relevant legislation, the administrative processes of the Social Security Office, and the procedural requirements of Thai courts is built through repetition rather than occasional contact.
- Experience across documentation, review, and litigation stages
- Familiarity with Social Security Office requirements and practices
- Thai Bar Association registered practitioners

How a Typical Matter Progresses
- 1Initial enquiry — we understand the situation and identify the appropriate service
- 2Written instruction and fee confirmation before any work begins
- 3Document collection, analysis, or court preparation depending on service
- 4Written output — completed file, legal opinion, or court representation
- 5Client debrief and guidance on any available next steps
02 — Process
A Structured Process That Avoids Unnecessary Complexity
Each of our three services follows a clear sequence. The client understands what we will do, in what order, and how long it is likely to take before the work begins. Written confirmation of instructions is standard practice. The process does not depend on a single individual and continues without disruption if a team member is unavailable.
03 — Client Service
Response Within Two Working Days, Without Being Asked
Client queries are responded to within two working days as a standing practice, not an exception. Material developments in a matter are communicated proactively. Clients are not left to wonder about the status of their file.
- Two working day query response commitment
- Proactive matter updates without prompting
- Remote consultation available for clients outside Bangkok
Available by Telephone, Email, and Video
Clients located outside Bangkok can manage the documentation and review stages entirely remotely. For litigation matters, court appearances in Bangkok are handled by our team. Consultations can be arranged by video call at a time convenient to the client.
Service Fee Summary
All fees are agreed in writing before work begins. No additional cost is incurred without prior discussion.
04 — Value
Transparent Pricing With Nothing Withheld Until After the Work Is Done
Legal fees are sometimes disclosed only after the work is completed, making it difficult for clients to make informed decisions. Our fees are stated before any work begins, are confirmed in writing, and do not change without the client's knowledge and agreement. There are no hidden disbursements or administrative charges beyond what is agreed.

What Sets Us Apart
Features You Will Not Find Elsewhere
Written Opinion on Every Review
Our Pension Determination Review does not result in a verbal summary. Every client receives a written legal opinion identifying what was found, what it means, and what options are available. This gives the client a permanent record and a basis for informed decision-making.
Pre-Litigation Candour
We discuss the realistic merits and likely costs of court proceedings openly before any action is filed. We do not commence proceedings that we consider inadvisable and we say so, clearly, when that is our assessment.
Authority File Requests Included
Where documentation gaps arise because records held by former employers or the Social Security Office have not been provided, we identify those gaps and submit the necessary requests as part of the documentation preparation service.
Nationwide Reach From Bangkok
Clients located outside the capital can work with us entirely by phone, email, and video. Documentation and review stages do not require in-person attendance. Court proceedings in Bangkok are handled by our team on the client's behalf.
