Thailand's Lemon Law Explained: What Consumers and Expats Need to Know

Thailand's proposed Lemon Law cleared a significant hurdle when the House of Representatives accepted it for legislative review in June 2026. This episode breaks down what the Liability for Defective Goods Act would actually change, starting with the shift in burden of proof that would require sellers, not consumers, to prove a defect didn't exist at the time of sale. Siam Legal also covers the four remedies the law would make available, why foreign buyers in Thailand often face extra challenges with defective product claims, and what to document right now if you're dealing with one.   𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐲𝐞𝐫 - 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐋 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 🔗 https://www.siam-legal.com/services/thailand-legal-services.php 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 🔗 https://www.siam-legal.com/legal_services/thailand-visa-services.php   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: 📌Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ 📌Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ 📌X: https://x.com/SiamLegal 📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal 📌LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ 📌YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal
