Who writes these articles?

They are compiled from the notes to the contract templates written by Phuwara Krobtaku, Thai attorney-at-law (licence no. 477/2558), so each article explains the same clauses you will use on this site. The short answers and summaries of the English articles are put together by the site.

Can these articles replace advice from a lawyer?

No. The articles are general information, not legal advice on a specific situation. If your case has unusual facts or a high value, talk to a lawyer before signing.

Where can I read the articles as plain text?

Every article has a Markdown version at the same URL ending in .md, and the whole collection is available at /llms-full.txt for software and AI systems that want the content without menus and buttons.
