For expats renting in Bangkok

Someone on your side when the lease gets complicated.

Contracts you cannot fully read, deposits that never come back, landlords who go quiet. We explain what is normal here, what is not, and what to do next. In plain English, at a fixed price.

Not a law firm. We explain, prepare, and refer you to a licensed Thai lawyer when a case needs one.

What we help with

Three problems we see every week

Read my contract before I sign

Send us the lease. We go through it clause by clause and tell you in plain English what each one means for you, which terms are normal for Bangkok, and which ones you should ask the landlord to change.

Get my deposit back

Moving out and the landlord is quiet, or is listing deductions that do not add up? We help you assemble the evidence, write the messages, and follow the steps that usually get deposits returned.

Something went wrong mid-lease

Aircon nobody fixes, surprise fees, an early-termination demand, a landlord who wants you out. We explain where you stand, what to document, and what to say next.

How it works

Simple on purpose

  1. 01

    Send us the documents

    Lease, messages, photos, receipts. WhatsApp or email, whatever you already use.

  2. 02

    We review and reply

    You get a written summary in plain English within two working days. Fixed price, agreed before we start.

  3. 03

    You act with a clear head

    Negotiate, push back, or walk away knowing what is normal here. If the case needs a lawyer, we hand you to a licensed Thai firm we trust.

Why us

We already know Bangkok rentals from the inside

Bangkok Assist comes from the team behind Bangkok Inspect, which has walked through hundreds of Bangkok condos with expat tenants before they signed and before they moved out.

That work taught us where tenancies actually go wrong: vague deposit clauses, move-out inspections with no photos, Thai and English versions of a lease that say different things. We built this service to deal with those problems directly.

  • Written reply you can keep and forward
  • Fixed price agreed before any work starts
  • Honest about when you need a lawyer, and who to call
  • Thai and English documents, both handled
FAQ

Questions people ask first

Are you lawyers?

No. Bangkok Assist is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We read documents, explain them in plain English, and share what usually happens in Bangkok rentals. When a situation needs formal legal work, we refer you to a licensed Thai lawyer.

My lease is in Thai. Can you still help?

Yes. Most Bangkok leases come in Thai, English, or both, and the two versions do not always match. We work with both.

How much does it cost?

Every job is a fixed price quoted up front. Tell us what you need and you will have the number before you commit to anything.

How fast can you turn this around?

A contract review usually comes back within two working days. If you are signing tomorrow, say so and we will tell you honestly whether we can make it.

Is this the same company as Bangkok Inspect?

Yes. Bangkok Inspect checks the condition of the condo. Bangkok Assist checks the paperwork and helps when a tenancy goes sideways. Same team, same standard.

Tell us what is going on

Send the lease, the messages, or just describe the situation. You will hear back with a fixed quote and a first read of where you stand.
