What's with the Westerners' obsession in owning lands in Asia?

Why do white people keep on aspiring to own lands anywhere in the world? Who do they think they are? Do they feel they're citizen of every country that they like? Do they believe in countries and national boundaries? Are they spreading a stateless world or anarcho-communism agenda? Or are they simply imperialists?

I will never understand the need that some foreigners feel to buy land in Thailand. Maybe a better plan would be to learn to speak and write Thai language. Thai people are proud and don't want farangs colonizing their country through shell companies and sham marriages. Every time I hear a story about a farang who builds a house for a Thai woman and she kicks him out, I smile and say, 'He deserved it.'

The law is quite clear. It is NOT legal to form a company for the purpose of owning land. Secondly a lease is only legal for 30 year max regardless of a contract saying it can be extended.

Never buy in Thailand!!!!! Ever!!!!!

Would be great If you had feedback on results from the CPB

Ridiculous 😮 I don’t understand why foreigners invest money in Thailand

the financial requirements are so high for a country where the cost of living is around 1500 usd a month. What are they trying to combat by stopping a digital nomad who "only" makes 70k a year.

Come from a country with a treaty

Thanks for clarifying because I wanted to move there to retire but did not want a condo!!!😊👍

Hello. So no one from the US can buy property in Thailand but they can come over to the US and buy anywhere. I see an issue with this!!!

There are other ways to own land as a foreigner without having to worry about thai partners having full control

Can you purchase this in Bangkok?

Thank you dear

That's why some foreigners marrying needy thai woman and buying lands

USA PASPORT can own land in Thailand.

hello thank you for the video!Can you lease the land but buy the house?

You cant lease from wife so how to get around this

Can i buy a rice farm land in Thailand? what can i do to own a piece of farm land?

An agent will also take your money - the funny thing is an agent is always looking to move the property, they don't really care what it sells for because they get a nice commission check. It's a volume game in the end.

Curious are you making new videos

Check ur line id please

Great info in a very simple way point by point. Thanks a lot.

U r a solicitor??? Then i want to talk to u for further development n requirement of my shifting to BKK.

U r right about electronics. A very stiff difference between Dubai n Bangkok.

U gave ground level info... awesome..

What if my sons are Thai national and I am not and I would like to form a company with 51% on my sons and the rest on my name, then I wish to sell the company or a property acquired via the company, is that requiring the sons consent? Or is it up to the company formation contracts with my sons and how the board isarraged? And if so any laws about the company board?

Thank you for the information, But I guess any person that is going to retire from the United States it's better to rent enjoy the country and when they're done just come back home.

What about building a house that can be moved from property to property. Maybe a kind of container home. If a lease won't renew, that's fine, just move the home to another piece of land.

Bravo for this honest interpretation of the Thai law!

if i sell the company, is it easy to get the moeny into my own pocket? do the local shareholders have right to claim a share?

Excellent advice. Thanks

Hi Gerald, Where can I look for your property listing for sale ? Thanks

Hi Gerald, I have a 91 year old mom that I take care of her. My question is if we were to move to Thailand, is the medicine is available like in the USA and as easy to get it for her ? Thank you.

The video is very informative and useful. Thanks for producing it. I would like to raise a question about what if the landlord sells the property to someone else, would that affect the lessee's right in the lease? (given that the lease is less than 30 years and properly registered). My point is, would the selling of the property by the landlord invalidate the lease or Thai law would protect the lessee's right in the property? Another question is what would happen if the landlord gone bankrupt and the property is sold by a court order to repay the landlord's debt? Would the lessee's right protected by Thai law as well? Or do the lessee needs certain special clause drafted in the lease to protect his or her rights? Thanks a lot.

Exactly.. You can’t own the land only the house on the land. Why would anyone do that? Same in Bali…

Thanks for your advice

The best advice: don't.

Thailand talks so much about inviting people to live in the country and increasing the amount people spend which helps the local economy develop. Last month they came with an ill thought of idea of trying to get high net worth to invest in Thailand which was rescinded. My wife and I (wife is not a Thai) were planning to retire in Thailand and we looked at various options for owning property and each one came with their own caveats. We have dogs so an apartment / condo is ruled out. Renting short or long term is possible but because we have 10 dogs we are not shown decent places. These rescue dogs were being moved from Brunei to Thailand and have been with us for a few years. Staying in a rented house in our twilight years is not exactly what we were looking for. Anyway we don't have the millions of dollars Thailand wants. Thailand's loss is someone's else's gain since we have got enough to buy a 400-600K US$ house cash down and have enough coming to us from our other real estate investments in other global locations. I am sure there are many like us who love to be in Thailand but like to plant some roots too!

Yeah helpful. Thank you.

Gerad what address office do you work out ...I'm back in Bangkok on 30 Oct. In looking for condo on BTS line's.. out side Bangkok

Can foriners by a second hand condo of a Thai owner ????

Its just a headache, dont do it. Worst of all is when u put your land under a bar monkey's name. Condo seems the best option. Honestly, just stay away from buying land in South East Asia. just rent it is as cheap as peanuts and you still live very well. STAY AWAY FROM BUYING LAND - GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD!!!!

Will describe, You are truly a knowledgeable realtor, Please provide your contact no,

Hello again thanks for the info, Do you know any seller of the condo or land in Thailand that wanted to exchange land in CA USA, It shall be appraised by the last sold prices, & your commission shall remain the same. Please notify me.

Thank you for your info, I wanted to buy land with a house on it in Thailand, Dou you have to pay at once? Please notify me.

I think it also depends how beneficial you're to the Thai economy. If you setup your company correctly and also buy a buisness , Hiring Thai employees + paying frequent tax authorities turn a blind eye since Thai people are benefiting from your ownership / presence in their country. While you're operating like a company should. If you're filing blank tax returns every month that's a red flag for possible disaster . As it shows you made the company just to bypass the ownership laws .

What if you wanted to lease for 30 years a house being built in a neighborhood from a developer, but you plan on selling in 10 years to make a profit. Do you hold it in such a way that you can sell it for a profit after 10 years if the buyer is Thai citizen who wants to cancel the lease and buy it freehold?

Boss pls help me to get job in Thailand
