Why Parties Come to Praya Vow
Accredited Practitioner Team
Our mediators and arbitration counsel hold formal accreditations and bring combined decades of dispute practice — not generalist legal advice, but ADR-focused expertise.
Defined Process Timelines
Every engagement commences with a process map. You know what to expect at each stage, how long each phase is anticipated to take, and what milestones mark progress.
Verified Confidentiality
Unlike court proceedings, ADR with Praya Vow produces no public record. Written confidentiality agreements are signed before any session begins — protecting all parties equally.
Transparent Fee Structures
Published base fees cover defined scopes. Any additional scope is identified and agreed in writing before work proceeds. No unexpected additions at the conclusion of a matter.
International Reach
Praya Vow advises on multi-institutional proceedings and cross-border enforcement matters — bringing international ADR familiarity to a Bangkok-grounded practice.
Candid Pre-Engagement Assessment
We assess whether ADR is genuinely suited to your matter before accepting any engagement. When it is not, we say so and point you toward appropriate alternatives.
Professional Expertise
Praya Vow's practitioners are not general solicitors who occasionally facilitate discussions. Each team member specialises in ADR — having pursued formal training, accreditation, and sustained practice in mediation and arbitration specifically.
Technology and Process
Secure case management, document handling, and communication protocols are in place for every matter. Remote hearing capabilities allow parties in different jurisdictions to participate without unnecessary travel.
Client Communication
Every client receives direct access to their assigned practitioner — not a junior assistant or scheduling intermediary. Questions are answered clearly and promptly. Status updates are provided proactively, not on request.
Value and Pricing
ADR costs are, for most commercial disputes, substantially lower than contested litigation. Our transparent service fees allow parties to assess the full cost of resolution before proceeding, without exposure to open-ended billing.
Results and Track Record
Praya Vow has supported parties to settlement in over 78% of mediation engagements since 2011. Arbitration awards obtained through our counsel have been successfully enforced in Thailand and across ASEAN member states. We do not measure our work by the speed at which a case is closed — we measure it by whether the resolution genuinely serves the parties involved.

What Distinguishes Us
What You Will Not Find Elsewhere
Honest Pre-Engagement Counsel
We decline engagements where ADR is not appropriate — even when a party is willing to pay. Candidness at the outset is, in our view, the first professional obligation of any ADR practitioner.
Process Maps for Every Engagement
Before any proceeding commences, parties receive a written process map showing each stage, expected duration, and decision points. There are no procedural surprises during an engagement managed by Praya Vow.
Genuine Bilingual Capability
Sessions, documents, and settlement agreements can be conducted and prepared entirely in English, entirely in Thai, or in both languages in parallel — without reliance on external translators for most matters.
Post-Settlement Follow-Through
For mediation matters that reach agreement, Praya Vow assists with settlement agreement drafting and, where needed, supports the practical steps required to give the agreement legal effect under Thai law.
