Ordinary Thai partnership is a business set up by a minimum of two persons. The persons are joint partners who share unlimited liability for all the company’s obligations. It is not mandatory to register an Ordinary Thai Partnership but partners can choose to do so as provided in Section 1064 of Thai CCC, reads in part “An ordinary Thai partnership may be registered”

Each partner is, jointly and severally, personally liable for debts and taxes of the partnership. For example, if the partnership assets are insufficient to satisfy a creditor's claims, the partners' personal assets are subject to attachment and liquidation to pay the business debts.

Each partner may be held jointly and severally liable for a co-partner wrongdoing or tortuous act (e.g. the misapplication of another person's money or property).

Unless otherwise provided in the partnership agreement, no one can become a member of the Thai partnership without the consent of all partners.

A Limited Thai Partnership is in several ways similar to an Ordinary Thai Partnership, though it provides that there must be two types of partnership. The first one is where partners whose liability are limited and the other one is partners whose liability are jointly and unlimited.

[Unlike an Ordinary Thai partnership, the law provides that Limited Partnerships must be registered.]
