About CandiDuck
CandiDuck Co., Ltd. was founded on 11 February 2021 by
Suthawan Boonmak (“Pooh”), following several years of professional
experience across the legal, corporate and non-profit sectors.
The name CandiDuck reflects both our founder’s way of working and the company’s core values. Like a duck moving steadily beneath the surface, we focus on managing complex matters with determination and resilience while keeping communication candid — honest, direct and transparent.
Our approach is practical and straightforward. We help clients understand their options, navigate requirements and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Before establishing CandiDuck, Suthawan built her career through a diverse range of organisations, advising on corporate, regulatory, and operational matters across multiple industries. She also collaborated with a non-profit organisation, gaining insight into governance, compliance, and cross-sector collaboration. These experiences shaped CandiDuck’s practical, solution-driven approach and its deep understanding of the challenges businesses face when operating in dynamic and regulated environments.
CandiDuck was created with a clear objective: to provide practical, trustworthy, and well-structured legal and business support, particularly for companies seeking to establish, operate, or expand their presence in Thailand. We take pride in guiding clients through legal requirements with clarity, explaining complex procedures in plain language, and delivering actionable solutions tailored to each client’s objectives.
Today, CandiDuck works with a dedicated team of senior and junior lawyers, corporate and litigation lawyers, and consultants. We share a common standard of professionalism, precision, and a genuine commitment to our clients’ long-term success. Our services are offered in Thai and English, ensuring seamless communication for both local and international clients. In July 2025, we expanded our presence by launching our Phuket office, strengthening our ability to support clients across key business and investment hubs in Thailand.
