Many land offices will require that a farang husband sign a statement when a Thai wife purchases property that he has no claim whatsoever to the property and that she is not acting as his nominee for the purchase But once again, when the marriage goes tits up, community property ( via the divorce ju...

Tried recently (via my lawyer a DMA Consultants) to get a usufruct at the Banglamung Land Office. This was flatly refused, they're only prepared to issue leases. When I queried this with my lawyer, she said that although usufructs are legal here, it's up to the boss at the land office. I suspect it...

Some reality posters First of all any contract entered into between spouses in Thailand is null and void in the event of a divorce, since the Thai community property laws trump any 30 year lease or Usufruct.

How long is the permit valid? Can you make odd changes through the building process without having to report them? The issued building permit package has an expiration date which is normally about a year. The regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another. You have quite a broad latitude regardi...

Etchingham are your referring to the US or here in Thailand ?
