Yes, if the contract meets the required elements and the statutory form for that type — e.g. immovable-property leases need written evidence (CCC s.538), loans over 2,000 baht need written evidence (s.653) — and the Electronic Transactions Act B.E. 2544 bars courts from rejecting evidence merely for being electronic (s.11). Ordinary PDFs are weak because tampering and signer identity are hard to prove; a hash-sealed, identity-verified document is far stronger evidence.

They work in many cases, but the risk is you cannot tell who drafted them or whether they reflect current law. Passed-around free forms often have missing clauses, void terms (e.g. interest above 15%/yr), or outdated conditions. The examples here are different — drafted and reviewed by Thai lawyers and kept current.

Some contracts require stamp duty under the Revenue Code — e.g. property leases, loan agreements, and hire-of-work (freelance) contracts — while ordinary employment contracts and NDAs usually do not. Missing stamp duty does not void the contract, but an under-stamped instrument may be inadmissible as evidence in a civil case until the duty and surcharge are paid.

Most ordinary contracts do not require witnesses — a contract binds once the parties agree and sign. Witnesses do strengthen the evidentiary weight in a dispute, and only specific instruments the law singles out (e.g. certain wills) actually require them.

Yes — electronic signatures are effective under s.9 of the Electronic Transactions Act B.E. 2544, provided the signer is identifiable by a reasonably reliable method. Merely pasting a signature image is hard to attribute if challenged, so an identity-verifying system like Kontrax is safer.

Ordinary PDFs can be edited and are hard to audit — especially after print-sign-scan — so proving which version was agreed is difficult. Contracts made on Kontrax are hash-sealed at signing; changing even one character changes the hash, making tampering detectable.

No — a contract signed by both parties is generally binding. The problem is not the file's legality but what is inside it: missing clauses, terms void under Thai law, or one-sided conditions you did not notice.

Plenty of sites offer free form downloads, but they are blank forms of unknown origin that rarely track current law. On Kontrax you pick a type, fill in your details online, and download a completed, Thai-lawyer-drafted PDF — about as fast as grabbing a blank form, but ready to use. Free to start.

Yes, if it meets the elements of a contract and the written-evidence rules for that type — e.g. leases of immovable property (CCC Section 538) or loans above 2,000 baht (Section 653). The risk lies in wrongly filled content or unenforceable clauses.

Electronic signatures are effective under Section 9 of the Electronic Transactions Act B.E. 2544, provided the signer can be identified by a reliable method. A pasted image is hard to attribute if challenged; a system that verifies signer identity and hash-seals the document, like Kontrax, makes far stronger evidence.

An online contract on Kontrax starts from a lawyer-drafted, maintained template, is filled via a validated form, e-signed with identity verification, hash-sealed, and managed with reminders, renewals and terminations for its whole life. A PDF gives you a blank form — everything else is on you.

You can start free and create your first contract right away. Compared with the cost of an unenforceable contract or a missed deadline, a contract-management system costs very little.

The best path is to create new or renewal contracts on Kontrax, gaining both sound drafting and full lifecycle management. For existing contracts still in force, note their end dates and plan to renew them as online contracts when they expire.
