    When to Use

    When an individual or business needs to propose a formal debt restructuring plan to creditors, either through voluntary negotiation or court-supervised proceedings under the Thai Bankruptcy Act.

    Key Clauses

    Debtor Information

    essential

    Full legal name, ID/passport number, address, occupation, and current income sources.

    Statement of Assets & Liabilities

    essential

    Complete list of all assets (property, vehicles, bank accounts, investments) and all debts with creditor names, amounts, and interest rates.

    Income & Expense Statement

    essential

    Detailed monthly income from all sources and necessary living expenses to determine repayment capacity.

    Proposed Repayment Plan

    essential

    Percentage of debt to be repaid, monthly payment amount, duration of repayment period, and proposed interest rate reduction.

    Creditor Priority Schedule

    essential

    Order of repayment priority: secured creditors first, then preferred creditors, then unsecured creditors.

    Hardship Explanation

    recommended

    Circumstances that led to financial difficulty: medical emergency, job loss, business failure, etc.

    Compliance Conditions

    recommended

    Debtor's commitments during restructuring: no new borrowing, regular reporting, maintaining employment.

    Default Provisions

    essential

    Consequences if the debtor fails to comply with the repayment plan: automatic reversion to bankruptcy proceedings.

    Warnings

    Minimum debt threshold for bankruptcy/restructuring petitions in Thailand is THB 1 million for individuals and THB 2 million for legal entities.

    All assets must be disclosed honestly — concealing assets is a criminal offence under the Bankruptcy Act.

    Court-supervised restructuring requires approval from creditors holding at least 50% of total debt value.

    Foreigners should verify whether debt restructuring proceedings affect their visa status — consult an immigration lawyer.

    When a matter involves investigation, arrest, detention, litigation, or regulatory action, professional legal representation becomes essential.
