Mr-Ubon

Thanks for all the answers, conclusion must be that it's dependent on what land office one is attached to, so surveying is everything between one week to one year wait.

I bought land in Korat, correction my Thai wife bought land in Korat (rural villige past Phimai). It took an enormous amount of time to get the survey and transfer done. She was living with me in Australia and visited home to make the purchase. Land belonged to her sister who was experiencing financial difficulties so we decided to help and keep the land in the family at the same time. It took seven to ten months. She visited home 3 times during this wait. I had never asked or expected to have my name on the deed. If you split she will still walk with everthing....Kun Thai na? I dont know when it finally went through but i think it was just after my step daughters 18th birthday. I discovered the deed secreted away and in the daughters name. Just about the same time we started experiencing marital difficulties. Might have been a coincidence????. We are now divorced, but that is another story.......or is it?

Sorry to hear it didn't worked out with your wife.

Yes if we split she will still walk with everything, that just the way it is her, after 11 year together this doesn't concern me, you know we have to live with Thai low. In our case the Chanote transfer to my (wife's name ) only took one month, but the survey is for sure a other matter.

jamescollister, there are no dispute, this is only to avoid it in the future, I think if it comes to a neighbour dispute a private survey is not to much use.

Bergen, as you say, some cash to speed up things, is probably the only way.

but It will be nice to know if 6-7 months is the norm in Ubon city, I think it's weary long time to let people wait to start develop something like a perimeter wall as in my case, or if you are going to add fill dirt up to the border of the land.

Sorry my bad English.

We can not find Chanote marks in the soil at the ground, to be sure to make a wall around the land as not entering the neighbouring property, we have to get a new survey to be sure. The land-office can only come after 7 months is that normal around Ubon City??

Hello, me and the wife (Thai) has purchased 400m2 land in Ubon city last year, we will make a perimeter wall, so here in January this year she order surveying of the land, everything ok but the Land Division can first be there in August.

Is it normal that there are 7 long months waiting time?

Are there any from Ubon area having the same experience or hints?

It’s fantastic.

I have not really written anything about myself I’m 37 years old

I am living in Denmark, but I have a house approximately three to five kilometres from Ubon city and stays there for so long time as possible, around 1-2 month every year. It would be very nice to meet some farang friends when in town

I started the topic "Ubon Farrang's Search..." one year ago, I have not given it any attention, but can see things really happening now thanks to Marco and his Ubon Foreigner club, it’s definitely a good idea and something i wanes to be a part of. And hopefully the Bbg party on the 24th goes to be super and be repeated, sow I can participate next time. Now i can only look out at the window and dream about the fun in Ubon while the snow is falling. Hopefully there is a get to getter next time I am in Ubon.

Have a good party

Kenneth

Maybe it’s just me, but farangs in Ubon are some of the most unfriendly, unsmiling people I’ve never met. Of the 3 visits I’ve made (30 days total) the friendliest was a Frenchman (10 year expat) rice and cow farmer. Most you see in Ubon at the major shopping places don’t even brother to acknowledge you or make eye contact, let alone utter a friendly “hello”. What’s up with that.

Yes it is just you. I have been in the Ubon district only for 5 months and in that time I have met may fellow expats there. All of which I have had no trouble having a conversation to. In fact a couple of them have become quite good friends. Maybe it is the way that you confront other farangs that make them not want to make conversation. Anyway in typical thai way "Up to You"
