Bankruptcy and Insolvency LawsThe 1997 Asian financial crisis—more popularly referred to as the “Tom Yum Kung crisis” because it is said to have originated in Thailand—badly crippled Thailand’s economy in its wake, but it also left behind it a lasting legacy. Faced with sharp economic slowdown and a wave of corporate defaults, Thailand revamped its banking and financial institutions, including various legal infrastructures. For one, it made a major amendment to its antiquated bankruptcy laws to allow for corporate restructuring similar to the procedures under Chapter 11 in the United States. The amendment, which took the form of an additional section on Corporate Reorganization under Chapter 3/1, took effect in 1998 and over the years various revisions have been made to fine-tune its provisions and principles.
