Client Reviews
Marcus Henriksen
CEO, Technology Startup · Stockholm / Bangkok
We needed to establish a Thai limited company as a foreign-invested business. The process was explained clearly from the start, and the team navigated the DBD registration without any of the delays we had been warned about by other founders. The fixed fee also meant we could budget accurately.
Business Formation · February 2025
Nidhi Patel
Director, Import/Export Company · Mumbai / Bangkok
The distribution agreement Dharma Krung drafted for our Thai operation covered every scenario we had not thought to raise ourselves. What stood out was that Peeraya took time to understand how we actually worked before starting the document — the contract reflected our real business, not a template.
Contract Advisory · January 2025
Sirin Lertphanit
Founder, Wellness Brand · Bangkok
We had three trademark applications filed before we came to Dharma Krung, and all three had issues. Thanawat ran an IP audit and found additional assets we had not considered protecting. The filing strategy he developed made our overall approach considerably more thorough. Response times were always reliable.
IP Registration · December 2024
James Kovachevski
Managing Partner, Real Estate Advisory · Sofia / Bangkok
I have worked with several Thai law firms over the years. What distinguishes Dharma Krung is that you deal with the same person from first conversation to completion. No handoffs to junior staff mid-matter, no re-explaining the background every time. That alone is worth considerable value.
Corporate Structuring · January 2025
Amara Wongchai
Operations Head, F&B Group · Chiang Mai
Our franchise agreements needed a complete overhaul after a dispute arose with one of our licensees. Dharma Krung reviewed what we had, explained clearly where the existing documents had been weak, and drafted revised agreements that addressed those gaps properly. We have not had a similar issue since.
Contract Advisory · November 2024
David Mak
CTO, Software Company · Singapore / Bangkok
We needed both trademark registration and BOI structuring at the same time. Dharma Krung coordinated both matters efficiently and kept us informed throughout. The BOI application process in particular benefited from Khun Somchai's prior experience — he flagged two requirements we would have missed entirely.

Case Studies
Case Study · 2024
European Tech Company: Thailand Market Entry
A Netherlands-incorporated software firm seeking to establish a Bangkok development office and protect its product IP in Thailand.
Challenge
The client required both a suitable corporate structure — a limited company with BOI software sector promotion to access foreign ownership — and trademark registration for their product name in Thai and English. Both processes needed to run in parallel to meet a board-mandated market entry deadline.
Solution
Dharma Krung managed both engagements concurrently — corporate formation under BOI Category 4.2 and dual-language trademark filings — with a single point of contact coordinating both workstreams.
Results
- Limited company registered within 6 weeks
- BOI promotional certificate applied for in parallel
- 2 trademark applications filed (Thai and English)
- Market entry deadline met without extension
"Having one contact who understood both workstreams was what made the timeline possible."
Case Study · 2025
Thai F&B Brand: IP Portfolio Protection
A Bangkok-based restaurant group with three concepts seeking to protect its brand assets before a planned franchise expansion.
Challenge
The client had three restaurant brands — each with distinct names, logos, and menu signatures — but no formal IP registrations. With a franchise conversation in progress, a potential franchisee's legal counsel had flagged the absence of trademark protection as a material concern.
Solution
Dharma Krung conducted a full IP audit across all three brands, identified 8 distinct registrable assets, and developed a filing strategy prioritised by franchise risk exposure and commercial value.
Results
- 8 trademark applications filed across 3 Nice classes
- IP audit delivered within 2 weeks of engagement
- Franchise conversation resumed with legal comfort
- Annual monitoring retainer established post-filing
"The IP audit revealed assets we had never thought to register. It was a more thorough exercise than we expected."
Case Study · 2024
Joint Venture: Contract Structuring Between Thai and Australian Partners
Two parties — one Thai, one Australian — seeking to formalise a joint venture for a property development project in Phuket.
Challenge
Both parties had agreed on commercial terms verbally but had never committed a formal joint venture agreement to writing. With significant capital commitments approaching, each party needed confidence that their respective interests were adequately documented under Thai law.
Solution
Dharma Krung held separate preliminary meetings with each party to understand their specific concerns, then drafted a joint venture memorandum that addressed contribution structures, profit distribution, decision rights, and dispute resolution under Thai jurisdiction.
Results
- JV agreement signed by both parties within 3 weeks
- Capital contributions proceeded on schedule
- Dispute resolution clause accepted by both parties' counsel
- Separate engagement letter for each party maintained conflict clarity
"Dharma Krung understood the sensitivities between the parties and managed the process with appropriate care."
