TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses options for filing a complaint against a lawyer in Thailand accused of scamming the questioner. Comments suggest various approaches, including contacting the Consumer Protection Board and the Lawyers Council of Thailand. However, several participants caution that legal action may be costly and time-consuming, advising that it might be more practical to accept the loss as a lesson. Some suggest finding another lawyer for assistance in pursuing the matter.

Been there worn the T Shirt. It will cost you lots of money and take you years all they have to do is not turn up in court and every time it will be adjourned which will cost you ! If you talking millions fine if only a few 100,000 then walk away and don’t slander the person as they can sue you for millions !!!
