Chanin Taongern
40+ years of courtroom and advisory experience
Chanin Taongern has practised law in Thailand for more than 40 years, appearing in civil, criminal, commercial and labour matters. He is the owner of Chanin Taongern Law & Business Office.
His practice is built on case judgement — knowing early which matters should be fought, which should be settled, and what a court is realistically likely to do. Clients who came to him as small businesses have stayed with the firm for a generation.
He served three terms as President of the Amnat Charoen Provincial Lawyers Association (2007–2013 and 2022–2025) and currently advises the President of the Lawyers Council of Thailand under Royal Patronage, Dr Thanaphon Kongjiang (2025–2028).
