The Importance of Witness Testimony in Criminal Cases in Thailand

apprenticeship program, we would like to discuss how important witness testimony is in criminal cases in Thailand. This critical element of the criminal case trial process should not be ignored, since the judges in the criminal courts of Thailand can consider witness testimony from a credible witness to be as important as physical evidence. The lawyers and case managers at Thailand Bail have seen other Thai lawyers make the mistake in not preparing adequately for trial, especially for the witnesses from the prosecution. While Khun Garn is capable of working on high profile cases such as these, we will look at what kind of witnesses will have their testimony considered by the court and what makes a witness credible or not credible. ในที่สุด, we will briefly examine some ways in which witnesses can be made to seem not credible.

Thailand Bail Wins in Court!

Thailand Bail recently won a very important criminal case involving a foreign defendant in the Udon Thani Provincial Court in Udon Thani, ประเทศไทย, charged with attempted murder of two Thai women. This case was very challenging for our lawyers and interpreters, since there were 4 witnesses against our client, swearing to the court that he had tried to kill these two Thai women. After months of dedicated preparation, we executed the plan in court during the trial, resulting in a no-prison-time verdict for our client, who only had to pay a small fine as a penalty for this crime that could have landed him in prison for 50 ปีที่ผ่านมา. We received recognition for this from the defendant’s embassy in Bangkok for our relentless work to get a positive judgment in this case.

International Bail 3 Things You Must Do If You Get Arrested in Thailand

Our blog post for March 2019 is one that has been requested by many people, so we decided to focus on the 3 things you must do if you get arrested in Thailand. We often tell people that no one plans to get arrested in Thailand, but sometimes things happen. เช่น, we recently came across a foreigner who had been arrested with his friend for stealing a mobile phone, even though he claimed he had picked it up thinking it was his. A Thai citizen who we recently helped had been over a friend’s house for a visit when the police came in and arrested everyone for some methamphetamine they found on the premises. About Thailand Bail, the Thai police often like to charge accused people jointly, or “ruam-gan” in Thai – to jointly commit a crime. This does not mean that you were caught in the act of doing anything illegal, but it just means that you were in the wrong place at the wrong time in many cases. Getting arrested in Thailand is a stressful event, so we advise you do the following 3 things as quickly as possible.

Thai Prisons Offer LINE Calls for Prisoners and Their Family Members in 2019

Prisoners in Thailand are now eligible for more convenient family “visits” through calls on the popular LINE app. Thailand Bail has seen posters and other information posted at several prisons around Thailand, and the Department of Corrections in Thailand has said that 78% of the prisons in Thailand have already implemented the LINE app calling feature for prisoners and their families. We were able to take a quick photo of the details (ในภาษาไทย – กรุณา ประกันรายชื่อผู้ติดต่อในประเทศไทย for free details about how to use the LINE app to speak to your family member in a Thai jail or Thai prison in Bangkok, ภูเก็ต, พัทยา, or elsewhere in the country). This photo was taken at Bang Kwang Prison (also known as Bang Kwang Central Prison) in Nonthaburi, ประเทศไทย (specializing in cases involving bail). Thailand Bail has regular visits to many of the prisons around Thailand, including Bang Kwang Prison. Our lawyers have confirmed that Bang Kwang Prison is one of the Thai prisons taking part of the Thai Department of Corrections program for LINE app calls with prisoners. ประกันไทย knows how long it can take to make a visit to an inmate (we do this regularly), and for family members who are in another city or another country, as many of our clients are, this can be a tremendous help.

Nasty Rybka, Alex Lesley and Others Free from Thai Prison

ประกันไทย provided legal representation and legal advice for Nastya Rybka (real name Anastasia Vashukevich) and Alex Lesley (real name Aleksandr Kirillov) during their criminal trial in the Pattaya Provincial Court. Since early 2018, Nastya and Alex, as well as 6 other Russians and Belarusians, faced up to 20 years in prison for 3 separate criminal charges in Thailand. Facing 20 years in a Thai prison is challenging, but the result was extremely positive, with Nastya, Alex, and the other 6 having their cases ended on 15 มกราคม 2019 after arranging a plea deal that saw them plead guilty to all charges. The resulting sentence was time served, and they were quickly deported, having just left today, 17 มกราคม 2019, less than 48 hours after having been sentenced.

Money Laundering, Drug Dealing, and Bail: The Case of Benz Racing

In today’s Thailand Bail news posting, we focus on one of the most famous Thai cases of the past year – Benz Racing. Benz Racing, formally known as Akarakit Worarojcharoendet, was just freed on bail, after beating a charge related to drug trafficking but being convicted of money laundering. Benz Racing got eight (8) years for money laundering, which was on the more severe end of the possible ten (10) years in prison for the charge of money laundering.
