Juvenile criminal proceedings in Thailand are governed by a specific law: 
The Juvenile and Family Court and Juvenile and Family Case Procedure Act, B.E. 2553 (2010), 
which provides a distinct and protective legal framework for children and youth involved in criminal matters.

Under this law, any person under the age of 18 charged with a criminal offense must be tried exclusively under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile and Family Court.

Key legal provisions include:

• Section 66 – Arrest of a juvenile
• Sections 67–68 – Protection of juvenile rights
• Sections 70–71 – Duties of investigation officers after custody
• Sections 72–73 – Examination of arrest
• Sections 75–77, 69/1 – Procedures during investigation
• Prohibition against detaining juveniles with adults
  

The law requires that a “Juvenile and Family Court Legal Advisor” must be appointed in any case involving a child or juvenile to ensure their rights are fully protected throughout the process.
