    Principal debtor, creditor, and guarantor. Full legal names, ID numbers.

    Guaranteed Obligation

    essential

    Specific obligation being guaranteed — maximum amount, specific contract reference.

    Guarantee Limit

    Duration of Guarantee

    Thai law requires guarantee agreements to be in writing to be enforceable.
