Foreigner cannot own land in Thailand, so you can only buy condo

Surprised to see my name been mentioned..

I'm not in Thai property market and my only experience is rented few years of apartment in Thailand. I would never qualify to be expert cos I have problem counting the number of zeros tagged to the properties.

Anyway, like what been said, foreigners can't own land. You can consider indirect ownership and it's best to consult lawyers on this.

In SG, there isn't much differences between apartment and condo, except maybe in terms of facilities. In Thailand, apartment refers to a building or buildings held in single ownership. Condo is similar to SG, whereby individuals buy for personal property ownership. Foreigners can own condo, provided it's within foreign ownership quota for the condominium. This quota applies to buy and sell of the condo..

And that's all I know..

There are a lot of useful info on the net, just google for more info.

I only know u must have connection with their govt or else marry a Thai wife with her name in the deed. Even foreigners are not allow to work on visitor permit what's more to buy a landed house there.

like what sue88 mentioned, there are way of indirect ownership of landed property. Like back lease the landed property to the foreigner for a specify time like 100years.

let me know if you want her contact.

Land can be owned by a Thai or majority-Thai company. The house can be owned by a non-Thai. There's ways to structure land & house ownership but you should know, such structure may be open to government scrutiny (if it chooses to). Better get a condo where u can put in your (foreigner) name as owner, subject to it coming under the foreign quota.

Land titles are something to consider too, with Chanote and Nor Sor 3 being the best.
