    Married Thai'S Buying Land

    in General Topics

    Posted

    my wifes still got her thai passport & wont be getting a uk one just yet anyway so it will still be a thai passport just with my surname.

    she's been working over here & has managed to save a few quid up so if thats what she wants to do its up to her.

    also someone she knows has both passports uk & thai is this allowed ?, i cann't see any problem with it .

    She can buy land in her western name no problems. My wife and I own a few bits in Thailand and its all in her name. My wife has dual natioanlity (Thai & UK).

    As for borrowing money, last year we opened a bank account and spoke to the chap there. He basically said the bank would match whatever I put in, i.e a 50% loan could be applied or.

    Probably differs from bank to bank person to person, who knows in Thai??!

    All I do know is that you CAN buy land in a western name if you are still a Thai Citizen.

    yea sorry i never sald but we bought are land 9 years ago when she was not alowed too,went through m/inlaw,but rules have changed now,

    the banks sald no due to the m/inlaw who too them she gave us the land

    hope this helps

    She can still buy land with a foreign surname, but it does make things a little more difficult. She has to sign a declaration that the money to buy the land has not come from her foreign husband.

    I bought (well paid for) some land in Thailand, well actually my mother in-law bought it then gifted it to my wife. There's way around everything in Thailand.

    This is what i have done too,and my wife holds a British passport,

    the only problem will occur i,s if you want too put the land up for a remortgage or borrow money on it,the banks will not lend you the money,i tried to do this to buy a new build,(a shop)

    good luck

    Rural Thailand, Theft

    I live in a rural part of korat,3 clicks from a local town,and have been broken into once,but i was saved by the electrician, who wired my lounge light switches in the wrong place TIT,it was put on a complete opposite wall to where normal people would want it,so when they did enter they couldn't find the light switch,thus nothing was taken.

    there are about 15 westerners in a round a 30km from me and we all have been broken into at some stage,some twice,we all contacted the police when this happened and there response was some what slow.

    until one of my friends got broken into and had hes laptop taken gold and phone,he called the local police,they did come on the 3rd call to them but wasn't interested to much,so after a couple of days went by and no contact from the local police,he took it further and contacted AIS ref hes sim card,and was told it was still being used 20km away from hes home, then he went to the police in korat,and they where more apologetic with him and took the case on

    after a couple of weeks gone by,the korat police found the gang responsible, and guess what there was police involved,which makes us all here believe the korat city police new about this,

    we don't know the out come as yet,but we know the gang was only going out to Target frangs houses,

    since this has happened are local police likes all us frangs to have meeting now once every two months just to say if all is ok and can they help us with everything,so a push up there back side worked!!!!!

    since this iv ed pot riveted all my ailuminin windows,so now only one window will open,and put a bamboo stick inside so the other window cant open when we go out,

    next stop is steel on the out side

    but after all this i still feel safe here,just have to do a little bit more to your house,to make it safe
