Well, it looks like I've been a busy gal posting here today and have something else to add. Don't know why I didn't think of posting it sooner, and the hubby was aghast that I hadn't,but.............We and our friends in San Diego both have 1 rai pieces of land for sale in a subdivision on the edge of Chiang Mai. Not exactly sure which way as I'm not THAT familiar with Chiang Mai. We have our chanote and a copy of my friends chanote who will be visiting in Nov. She is from Chiang Rai and they have decided to buy something up there, or possibly just build on her brother's farm.
Anyway, anyone interested and I can pm you a copy of the chanote.(s)

Personally, I would never use a real estate agent to buy land in Thailand. Honest and real estate agent don't belong in the same sentence.robinsueuk wrote:thanks for your reply. Can you point us in the right direction regarding honest realtors etc ?, thanks
There is always land for sale and people willing to sell directly to you.....or someone who knows someone who knows someone that has land for sale. The only problem with this kind of deal (and it's a small thing) is that you have every one of those someones coming along with you to show you the property plus the owner. They all get a cut of the percentage you pay, which is usually 1%to 3%. I think there were three people that shared the commission when we bought our property. If I'm not mistaken the seller pays that or it's split. In our case Ibelieve the seller paid.
The problem with real estate agents is there are so many ways they can drive the price up so they benefit, even though you think you are only paying them a small percentage, in reality they could have a deal with the owner where they get a kick back.
Are you buying around your wife's family? They should be able to help you out. Or do you know someone that lives in the area you are interested in that you can trust?
Happy Hunting,

hmmm. sorry. I saw the name, but it's not uncommon for a thai woman to have a name like Ann for instance. My mistake.robinsueuk wrote:I think I am alone in bringing my white wife to Thailand
anyway, are you just looking for a condo then, as you can't own land.
