I've tried other legal services in Thailand, but they are usually slow or too expensive. Legal Buddy is the opposite. The chat response is nearly instant. They helped me navigate a tricky visa extension issue while I was working from Chiang Mai. I never travel through SE Asia without an active subscription now.

Designed for the vacationer who wants a "safety net" in their pocket. This plan focuses on immediate, real-time assistance for common tourist hurdles.

Whether it’s a dispute with a rental shop, a misunderstanding with local authorities, or a lost passport situation, we provide 24/7 chat support to mediate and advise. It’s the perfect companion to your medical insurance, covering the "legal headaches" insurance won't touch.

Expat Secure Plan

Our flagship service for expats, digital nomads, and retirees living in Thailand. This plan offers peace of mind for the "everyday" legalities of Thai life.

What Our Clients Say

Hear from our satisfied clients about their experience with Legal Buddy Samui.
I got into a minor scooter accident in Phuket and the local shop was trying to charge me 30,000 THB for tiny scratches. I called Legal Buddy, and their consultant spoke to the owner in Thai. Ten minutes later, the price dropped to a fair 3,000 THB. This service paid for itself...
Sarah J., UKTourist Lite Plan
Moving to Bangkok was overwhelming, especially the condo leases and 90-day reporting. Having a 'buddy' to review my rental contract saved me from a very shady deposit clause. If you live here long-term, the 5,000 THB annual fee is the best investment you can make for your peace...

Elena R., CanadaExpat Secure Plan
We used the Elite Resident plan when we decided to buy a property through a leasehold structure. The 15 bonus hours allowed us to get deep, professional advice without the fear of an 'hourly clock' running up a massive bill. Professional, culturally aware, and highly recommended.
