So, what I don't understand is why do Farangs keep buying or building houses in Thailand if they can't buy the land? (Apart from a few exceptions) So, if the wife or G/F owns the land can the farang still can sell the house? I still own a house and some other places in Thailand, but the land is in the in-law's name. But I live in the west now where you can't sell a house without the land it's stands on. Even foreigners on a student visa can buy a house or land. Am I missing something?
