What can a foreigner own in Thailand?
Money once or twice. Corrupted cops. As I said. The illusion of rule of law is all you get in LoS. I will never own anything in Thailand. Far too dangerous. -

What can a foreigner own in Thailand?
Read my posts as I already mentioned it a couple of times I think. Treaty of Amity if you are American. BOI if you are not American but you have to apply and meet certain investment criteria. Not open for all industries but open for many. So there you go, two perfectly legal ways. -

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My - How will Trump's Fascist Dictatorship Affect You?
Biden maintained the Obama administration position on the pipeline. The pipeline went through environmentally sensitive regions of Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. A wide coalition of residents were opposed to the pipeline because of the disruption and dangers posed to the water supplies of ranchers, farmers and small towns. Unfortunately, the Canadian pipelines have a bad history of leaks and spills. There is a serious problem of chemical contamination around the oilsands. A large portion of the Canadian financed pipeline would have passed through First Nation/Native lands, over which these people who have sovereignty were mostly opposed. The pipeline would not have benefited US supplies because it was destined to refineries and then for export. I support a pipeline, and am of the view that Canada should have built a refinery in Canada and expanded its pipeline in Canada. Unfortunately, its natives and the province of British Columbia were opposed. I am forever amazed by the double standard of Canadians. They all complain about the cost of gas and are forever going on a holier than thou lecture about environmental responsibility, yet they are big consumers of cheap gasoline and are ok with importing tankers of petroleum from despotic regimes with nary a concern for oil spills and leaks in the oceans or of the environmental cost of extracting and refining overseas in lands where environmental controls are ignored.
