From 350 THB per document, with certification, company seal, review, and delivery included. Our team handles Chinese-to-Thai, Chinese-to-English, and trilingual work for Bangkok filings, business use, and overseas submissions.
Chinese Documents for Thai Official Use
If your document is in Chinese and needs to be translated into Thai for official use in Thailand, the Chinese document must first be translated into English and properly certified in China.
This process generally includes certification by the Notary Public in China, the Chinese consular legalization, and the Royal Thai Embassy in China. Once the document has been properly certified, it can then be translated into Thai, legalized by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and used for official purposes in Thailand.
- Our team can guide you through the required steps to ensure your documents are prepared correctly for Thai government use.

For embassy documents: We recommend matching the dialect to your destination country. Mainland China and Taiwan require Mandarin, Hong Kong requires Cantonese. Our Bangkok team can advise on dialect selection for your specific requirements.
For business: Mandarin is standard for corporate communications across all Chinese markets. Cantonese is used for Hong Kong-specific legal and official matters. We also provide interpretation services for business meetings.
