Dear readers,

I want to have some important documents translated from English to Thai, because English translations are not accepted.

Who knows if there is a sworn translation agency in Pattaya and where it is located?

Who can help me?

Regards,

Adriana

    From Thai to English I had it arranged by a travel agency a long time ago. I don't know which translation agency used them, but it was fine. This was JK Travel. Was then in soi 8. I thought in New Plaza now.

      Hi Kees,
      Thanks for your comment.
      If no one else knows an address, at least I can go there.
      Be sure to look them up.

      Greetings Adriana.

    Hello, we used to use a translation agency against the post office in soi postoffice, the owner studied in America, speaks perfect English, his parents do the work for him in Bangkok, unfortunately I can't remember the name, but it won't be that hard to find

    my advice is to have it translated twice by 2 different offices......a small mistake can have very serious consequences. Speak from experience.

      Yes, but there is something to be said about that too.

      How do you find out that there is an error in the Thai translation?
      You will find out later of course, but usually it is too late. Preferably before then.

      Have a second office also do the translation from English to Thai?
      You can have it done, but how do you know which of the two has made the correct translation.
      The first or the second? Just because the second office produces a translation that differs from the first does not mean that the first is wrong and the second is right.
      You will then have to have it translated at least by a third office to compare with the first two texts. If the third party comes up with another translation, then it becomes a problem, because then office number four, etc.

      You can also have a second office translate the Thai translation back into English for verification.
      With a correct translation, the texts must be identical to the original English text.
      But suppose it differs from the original English text, is the translation from English to Thai done correctly by the first office, or is the translation of that second office, from Thai back to English, correct?
      So office number three, etc…

      Personally I would do the following.
      An Embassy or Consulate usually has a list of official translators they have approved.
      Take a look at those lists.
      It is an English text. Perhaps you should obtain information from the UK Embassy/Consulate.

    This is what I meant…..English to Thai and then through another agency from Thai to English. can hardly go wrong. and with any difference go back to the same desks. So 2 times is enough.

    • RonnyLatPhrao says up

      Dear Edward,

      Do you really believe that they will say “We are wrong and the other office is right”?
      Anyway….
