In today’s globalized world, traveling abroad for work, education, or business has become a common reality for Thai people. However, this increasing international mobility also brings legal risks that are often unpredictable. Many individuals have encountered situations involving criminal prosecution, arrest, or complex disputes that require the expertise and guidance of advisors who truly understand both Thai law and foreign legal systems.
One notable example that reflects the crucial role of a “legal advisor” is Pol. Maj. Gen. Khemarin Hassiri, former Commander of the Foreign Affairs Division. With extensive experience in special investigations, combating transnational crime, and coordinating international cooperation, he currently serves as an advisor to the Royal Thai Police on foreign affairs.
