Were these  two  possibly exercising, seem to be carrying water etc.

There is no exemption while exercising. If outside your residence you must wear a mask . Carrying a water bottle without mask will still get you a fine . 

The government probably expect most genuine residents have learnt some thai and have got the pink ID card which has been offered to them . The advantage of the pink ID card has become more beneficial than just trying to get the cheap rate at the national park .

Well, we are not sure exactly what we are going to do yet, as far as living arrangements. We could build on the farm, or buy somewhere local.

 

Currently, we are renting somewhere local, its so cheap we may stick with that.

 

But whatever we do, obviously over time, life consumes money even if we dont buy/build a house.

 

I just want to make sure if we split, then we do so 50/50 on whatever we have at that time.

 

As I said I dont feel like I have any claim on the farm at the moment, after 10/20/30 years of work, I am sure I would feel differently.

 

So, in order to have a claim, would it not be possible so have a lien secured against any assets in thailand that were actionable on the lien holders request?

 

Even if you dont own the land, surely you can still own a lien of a specified value?

If it’s government land I don’t think you can put a lien on it as it cannot even be changed to your wife’s name . It must remain in the name it was originally allocated. As for working the farm that would also be a problem as you would have no work permit or be able to get one . You would need to rethink your plans carefully .

During any further restrictions that may be applied by government I feel the most important document worth carrying would be prove of where in Thailand you reside, as any checkpoints will be mainly to restrict travel especially from/ to another province. Thai driving license/ pink ID card or hotel/ guesthouse receipt.
