Relocated

This is all new to me, but I've developed strong affection for Chiangmai. I've been working on buying a house there, though not without some challenges. These frustrations might not be anything out of the ordinary. I believe I've grasped the regulations around land and house ownership, including the 30+30 year leasing option. However, I haven't received the lease arrangement paperwork or the agreement between this sweet Thai woman and myself, apart from the actual purchase contract. I understand you might suggest abandoning the whole idea, or wondering if this is just how things work in Thailand. I am sure many have been in a similar situation, some ending up in unpleasant circumstances. Despite that, I'm still committed to making this work. What do I need to know please ? Any insights and advice would be greatly welcomed.
