There are ways around this to cover yourself from being scammed by the Thai lady, my father first came to Thailand over 30yrs ago, married a Thai/Chinese lady, had a son & daughter with her, before they married he created a company which he owned 49% (the max a farang is allowed), the other 51% was divided between SEVEN different Thai's (most didn't even know they own a share in this company), then he bought the land for which he based his company & family home. You need to make sure the wife does NOT now these other share holders, so they can not group together to 'oast' you out of the company, as long as she can not get more shares than you she can not take the land/property away from you, all this NEEDS to be done BEFORE you marry her though, hope I have been of some help here

And of course you know setting a company up to circumnavigate land ownership laws is illegal as well, so all your darling ex soon to be has to do is tell the authorities

 

Only if the company you set up is bogus does this method become illegal, if the company is true & an actual working company then it is perfectly legal, like my fathers company was/is, yes it is still running to this day by my Thai step-mother, the company I will be setting up very soon will be a sub-company of her company, my step-mother will also be a part share owner of my company along with my half brother & my step-mother's sister, the land I intend to buy through my company is actually my g/f's family rice farm (which only makes 15,000B per year profit) & will turn it into a proper working farm, where her family will become my employee's, there will be no hand-out's coming from me, if they want money then come do some work for me (not that the parents will want for for a long time after I buy their 20 Rai farm for 1 million Baht (£20,000)
