Looking for legal advice regarding definition


Recommended Posts

Hello.

I would like to know if a person possesses a "chanote" or title deed to a piece of land in Chiang Rai that was issued way before it was declared as  "Agricultural Reform Land"  - it is assumed that the land owner has the right to use the land for residential/commercial purposes, right? 

 

Can the land owner (who has a "chanote") build a resort/hotel on that piece of land (which is currently declared as Agricultural Reform Land)? 

If the definition of "commercial property" is this:

 

commercial property

Property that is used for business purpose only


And a “hotel” is defined as "all lodging premises, established for commercial purposes to provide temporary accommodation to a traveler or any person for consideration".

Does a hotel/resort fall under the category of "commercial purpose"? 
I can't seem to find a clear and accurate definition of what "commercial purposes" actually means in Thailand, certain things seem to be a little vague.

Would appreciate if anyone could provide some constructive legal advice regarding this issue.

Is it a Chanote? A title deed is not automatically a Chanote. There are many categories of land title and only 1 is a Chanote.

 

The exact name of the title deed will give some indication of what can be done with it
