9.2 If the parties cannot agree on the settlement of dispute by a sole arbitrator, settlement of dispute may be made by three arbitrators. One party shall give written notice of the intention to refer the dispute to arbitration, naming the arbitrator appointed by it and notifying the other of the same. Within 30 (thirty) days from the date of receipt of the notice, the notice-receiving party shall appoint the second arbitrator. Thereafter, both arbitrators shall jointly appoint an umpire within 30 (thirty) days from the date of appointment of both arbitrators. The arbitration tribunal shall consider settling the dispute. The arbitration rules of the Arbitration Institution, Ministry of Justice, in force at the time of submission of dispute to arbitrator(s) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the arbitral proceedings. The venue for arbitration shall be in Bangkok and the arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in Thai language.

 

9.3 If any party is unable to appoint its arbitrator within the period specified, or if both arbitrators are unable to agree on the appointment of the umpire, any party may file a petition to the Civil Court, Bangkok, requesting an appointment of the arbitrator or the umpire, as the case may be.

 

9.4 Each party shall bear its arbitrator’s fee. All other expenses in connection with the arbitration shall be equally borne by each party. If there is one arbitrator or umpire, the arbitrator(s)’s fee shall be determined by the sole arbitrator or by the umpire, as the case may be.

 

9.5 The decision of the arbitrator or of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding on both parties. However, both parties shall be entitled to file a complaint with the Civil Court, Bangkok, to enforce the arbitral award.

 

9.6 Commencement or continuance of arbitral proceedings shall not obstruct the performance of obligation by either party hereunder, and shall not affect the provision concerning time for any purposes hereunder. All provisions concerning time hereunder shall continue unless the arbitrator or the arbitration tribunal, as the case may be, believes that such commencement or continuance, as the case may be, shall have a material impact on the submission of dispute.
