Court interpreters with 500+ Thai-court appearances covering witness examination, mediation, arbitration and verdict readings across Municipal, Provincial, Criminal, Juvenile & Family, and Intellectual Property & International Trade courts.
NYC court interpreters start at THB 8,500 per half-day (up to 3 hours) and THB 14,500 per full day (up to 6 hours), inclusive of transport within Bangkok Metropolitan area. Every assignment ships with an Interpreter Attestation Letter and translator ID copies for court filing. Book at least 5 working days in advance.
Civil (contract, debt, land, family, probate), criminal (narcotics, fraud, computer crime, immigration offences) for both prosecution and defense, labour, bankruptcy, intellectual property, tax, plus Constitutional and Administrative Court hearings. All interpreters take the ethics training and are sworn under section 96 of the Thai Civil Procedure Code.
Thai Civil Procedure Code section 46 requires the court to arrange an interpreter whenever a party or witness does not understand Thai. Our interpreters take the oath under section 96 before rendering, their translations are entered into the court record, and they carry expert-witness responsibility for accuracy.
Thai courts primarily use consecutive mode—witness speaks one to three sentences, interpreter renders—so the clerk can transcribe. Simultaneous or Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) is available for international arbitration or Google Meet hearings authorised by the court; Bosch Integrus receivers can be rented separately.

Our certified translation team works in parallel with the interpreter, so exhibits can be delivered as court-ready translations carrying the translator's certification and company seal, with MFA legalisation added when the court or a foreign party requires it. Sharing the exhibit bundle two or three days before the hearing lets us align terminology with the interpreter's glossary.
Thai CPC section 120/4 allows witness testimony by video conference. The interpreter can sit either at the courtroom or remotely, as directed by the court.
