How enforceable is a limitation of liability clause under Thai law?
Short answer
Partly. Thai courts will enforce a negotiated cap between commercial parties, but the Unfair Contract Terms Act B.E. 2540 lets a court reduce a term to the extent it is unfair, and the Civil and Commercial Code treats an advance exclusion of liability for one's own fraud or gross negligence as void.
The two tests that matter in practice are bargaining position and breadth. A cap agreed between two informed businesses of comparable size, sitting at a figure that bears some relation to the contract value, is defensible. A blanket 'the supplier shall have no liability whatsoever' inside a standard form imposed on a consumer or a much weaker counterparty is the classic candidate for judicial reduction under the Unfair Contract Terms Act.
Draft accordingly: cap by reference to fees paid, carve out the categories Thai law will not let you exclude (fraud, gross negligence, death and personal injury, statutory liabilities), and keep indemnities separate from the cap so the drafting shows deliberate allocation rather than a wholesale disclaimer. Where the counterparty is a consumer, assume the Consumer Protection Act framework applies and that any ambiguity is read against the drafter.
