Can a foreign arbitral award be enforced in Thailand?
Short answer
Yes. Thailand is a party to the New York Convention and enforcement runs through the Arbitration Act B.E. 2545 (2002): the winning party petitions the competent Thai court, which recognises and enforces the award without re-hearing the merits, subject to the narrow refusal grounds in the Act.
File in time and file complete. The petition must be brought within three years from the day the award becomes enforceable, and must be accompanied by the original or a certified copy of the award and of the arbitration agreement, plus a certified Thai translation of both. Translation and certification defects are the most common reason a petition stalls, and they are entirely avoidable.
Refusal grounds are limited to matters such as incapacity of a party, an invalid arbitration agreement, lack of proper notice, an award exceeding the scope of the submission, an irregular tribunal or procedure, an award not yet binding or set aside at the seat, non-arbitrable subject matter, and public policy. The Thai court does not reopen the factual findings — so the enforcement stage is about the record and the paperwork, not a second trial.
