Resumo

As mediation has been gaining popularity in recent years, this paper outlines the general perception and requirements of mediation, including international mediation, in Thailand. Considering the supportive measures stipulated in the laws of Thailand and the high likelihood of Thailand’s accession to and ratification of the Singapore Convention on Mediation, although there are certain procedural complications in the horizon, mediation is likely to have a glittering future in the legal landscape of Thailand.
