The covid-19 pandemic has a huge impact on many organizations and businesses in Phuket. For only 6 months, the estimated damages are over 65,000 million baht on businesses, such as hotels, restaurants, retail shops, entertainment businesses, public transportation, tourist attractions, and other businesses. This impact is equivalent to almost one/third of Phuket’s Gross Provincial Product (GPP). THAC foresees that the pandemic has caused not only monetary damages but also an increase in business disputes. To reduce the number of conflicts, whether they are internal disputes within the organization, between organizations, or with international organizations, THAC has agreed to enter the MOU with 3 major organizations; Ramkhamhaeng University, Phuket Chamber of Commerce, and the Federation of Phuket Industries. This collaboration aims to support, publicize and encourage the knowledge of Alternative Dispute Resolution for organizations and businesses in Phuket.
Moreover, THAC provided a lecture on “Settling business disputes with Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)”, honored by Asst.Prof. Sittipak Purisinsit, Associate Dean for Academic and Research, Faculty of Law, Ramkhamhaeng University, to lecture on the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in settling business disputes; the process when disputes arise; arbitration proceedings; how to prevent potential business disputes.
