Thai interpreter in Thailand
I interpret at meetings where a mistake is costly: banks, police, hospitals, immigration, negotiations and factories. On site in Bangkok and across Thailand, or by video.
Mike Boldyrev. I've lived in Thailand for 14 years and have been interpreting for and accompanying foreigners for 10. I handle every meeting myself.

Interpreting for any situation

Banks and KYC checks
Opening an account, bank questions, KYC and source-of-funds checks. I help you explain to the bank where the money came from and how transfers were made, including P2P and crypto.
Police
Statements, interviews and meetings with the investigating officer. I interpret accurately and calmly and help you understand which documents are needed.
Hospitals and clinics
Doctor's appointments, check-ups, admission and discharge. I translate the diagnosis and prescriptions and help you deal with the clinic and the insurer.
Immigration & government
Visa extensions, 90-day reports, the district office, meetings with a licensed lawyer or notary.
Negotiations and business meetings
Negotiations with Thai partners, presentations, meetings with landlords and contractors. You understand not just the words but the other side's position.
Factories, suppliers, trade shows
I go with you to factories and trade shows and help you ask the right questions about price, lead times, samples and quality.

I translate the situation, not just the words
I'm a philologist by training and studied Thai for several years at the UTL language school in Bangkok. Over 10 years I've accompanied foreigners at business meetings, banks, police stations, hospitals and factories.
I know how these meetings go, what you'll be asked and how to answer so you're understood correctly. I interpret accurately and neutrally, without adding my own opinions.
If the matter goes beyond interpreting, I bring in licensed Thai lawyers and specialists through my company UNBLOCK PRO ASIA CO., LTD.
