Sawadee Translations is the practical choice for expats and businesses navigating Thailand's paperwork maze. MFA-accepted certifications, notary services backed by licensed Thai lawyers, and fully English-speaking staff make the entire process legible and low-stress. Turnaround runs to one working day for most documents, and pricing is transparent from the first inquiry.
Step into the 15th floor of Sino-Thai Tower in Asok and you find a translation office built around one principle: your document gets accepted the first time. Sawadee Translations serves individuals, corporations, and legal teams who need Thai-English translations that meet the precise requirements of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, foreign embassies, and the domestic court system.
The team covers more than 25 languages, including French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese, with every project handled by in-house native-speaking translators working alongside Thai-language specialists. There is no outsourcing to freelancers, which means consistent quality control and a clear chain of accountability on every file.
For expats, the service range covers the documents that come up most often in daily Bangkok life: marriage certificates, birth certificates, divorce decrees, educational credentials, power of attorney forms, and passport copies. Each of these can be certified, MFA-legalized, or notarized depending on your destination country's requirements, and the English-speaking staff can explain which path your document actually needs.
The notary service pairs certified translations with authentication by a licensed Thai notary public, making the result valid for international use. Embassy service appointments, MFA legalization runs, and general certified translations can all be coordinated through the same office, removing the need to juggle multiple providers across Bangkok.
Pricing starts at 700 THB per page for Thai-to-English work and 800 THB for English-to-Thai, with standard turnaround at one working day. No appointment is required for most inquiries, and the team typically responds within one to two hours during business hours, Monday through Friday. The Sino-Thai Tower location sits a short walk from both Asok BTS and Sukhumvit MRT, placing it at the center of Bangkok's business district and well within reach for anyone based in the Sukhumvit corridor.
