This book is the leading reference on Thai private international law in English. The chapters systematically cover the whole of Thai private international law including commercial matters, family law, succession, electronic commerce, intellectual property, competition (antitrust), and environmental disputes.In addition to covering the traditional conflict of law areas of jurisdiction, applicable law (choice of law) and enforcement, the chapters also look into conflict of laws questions arising in arbitration and assess Thailand’s involvement in the harmonisation of private international law globally and regionally.Similarly to the other volumes in the Studies in Private International Law - Asia series, this book presents the Thai conflict of laws through a combination of common and civil law analytical techniques and perspectives, providing readers worldwide with a more profound and comprehensive understanding of the subject.
