Does a foreigner need a Thai lawyer to sign a contract in Thailand?
Short answer
Not as a legal requirement in most cases, but a review is strongly advisable where the contract is governed by Thai law, registered with a government office, or exists in two languages.
Certain acts do require professional involvement or a prescribed form, and some registrations must be filed by a person the office recognises. That is separate from ordinary commercial contracting.
The practical risk for a foreign signatory is not fraud but formality: an unenforceable clause, a missing registration, or a Thai version that says something different from the English one.
