ChipButty Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It's a good idea to have some good Thai friends around you let them sort it out, Thai's like nothing more than smashing a farang over the head for poking his nose into Thai business, I have a couple of good neighbours (Thai) who are right onto anything going on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Not a relative of the one who takes over ) . I am sure that it is still the same name ( of the now deceased ) that is registered . But I will go and check again . My wife has a few land plots around the village, she has aloud the guy who built our place and who still does work for us when we can get our hands on him as he is always busy with work, to build a makeshift place on her land so that he has somewhere to park himself, i.e. after his wife through him out of her house, so not unusual to see someone else on someone else's land. My wife has gotten village talk back asking how much she sold the land to him for, asked why, oh because he said he bought it from you, with her reply being, he got it at a good price and left it at that. I suppose he doesn't want to lose face or something like that, even grows rice on it during the season as my wife does nothing with it. Now before anyone jumps to conclusions, no he is not my wife's ex....lol, he is the wife's sister's boyfriend or friend with benefits as he sleeps at her place at night a couple of ploys up from my wife's land. So as I said, not unusual to see someone else on someone land, also her parents lease out their rice fields to the neighbour as they are too old to do the rice themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but as this sort of thing (owner of land dying with no heirs?) happens. Surely there must be a Thai legal process for the land to be acquired other than just being squatted on. But maybe not. In which case you will just have to forget about it. Worth checking at land office or asking a lawyer? Edited June 12, 2021 by phetphet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scouse123 Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 Stop being a busy body! No good will come of it. Whoever is breaking the law, keep out of it. Opposite our houses of of late many have set up allotments and such, it is government land. They have fenced off and cut and established boundaries. Eventually somebody from government will come along and kick them all off but it won't be because I phoned somebody or that I put my nose in! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sydebolle Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 Very, very simple; the land owner of your plot (wife, Co Ltd?) to contact the Land department and request a re-measuring of your property borders. You pay a fee of THB 3'500 - THB 5'000 (against receipt) and will be given an appointment in 2 - 3 months from now. All those land owners next to your land will be informed, that the Land Department will come on Day X to re-measure the borders, find (difficult to find) marker stones etc. and compare this with their master plans they have at the Land Department. Eventual discrepancies will be clarified and all affected informed by the senior officer in attendance of the re-measuring. Had the very same problem; sent the Missus (I did not show up anywhere) and the neighbour who moved into our land was given a proper verbal shake-down by the officer. On leaving, the officer gave the Missus his mobile phone number and told her to call, if the original border lines were not reinstated by the invading neighbour within a week. Problem solved and it had nothing to do with the dirty farang - at least not officially! So happened in Nong Khai; professional, reliable and fair! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arick Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 She proably gained access to the land my helping a provincial government official to launder money back into the Country they have given her the land of the dead old ill x owner. You can check if she has a profession or a bank loan of 5 million for starting to build on the land. If she doesn't then you know the above. My God what what District and Province do you live why Thais tell farang not to walk with their dogs where do you live Why you would want to walk your dogs.? Mine just stays in the yard. Have you considering taking the dogs for a ride in your Truck or on your motorbike just around the village mine love it. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delight Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 For Certain the Land does not belong to the OP. Suspect that the act of walking a dog on land that does not belong to the OP is technically illegal. If a 3rd party appears to be 'stealing 'the use of the land-is a problem for somebody else. Not an issue for the OP. My advise a) Keep off the land or b) Find the legal owner and do a deal. This may mean purchasing(for a small fee) the right to cross the land -for dog walking purposes only .This deal to be renewed annually. Legally speaking this deal would be a 'gentleman's agreement.

nobodysfriend Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) What happened really is that the owner died quite a long time ago , nobody did ever show up or took care of the land . The Neighbor decided to ' jump on the occasion' and take over ... That's why she had the trees cut to make a soi . The Kamnan told me they are in the process of buying it , but the names have not officially changed yet ... ? Believe it or not , I do not because the owner died and no heirs are known ... so from whom do they buy it ...? They will occupy it for ten years , do a little work etc , and then claim it as theirs . It is a nice piece of about 35 rai , ( I remeasured it by google earth ) and worth quite a lot I think ... I let them do it , I do not want to create trouble , I just want to walk there . I got a lever now , if they want to make problems for me , I'll make problems for them , too . A few years ago , the said neighbor came up to me and asked me to help her please as she was losing a 12 rai plot ( nor sor 3 kor ) to the bank . I helped her and bought this 12 rai plot for a good price , she thanked me a lot for this . I have a good reputation her on Koh Kho Khao island , I helped a lot of people by giving jobs ( and income ) to them , but , from the beginning , I made it clear that I would not do anything illegal , or buy land without good papers ( Chanote or nor sor 3 kor ) . We had our dog poisoned just after arriving here , they did that without reason , just to teach the farang a ' lesson ' . Originally on this island there were only 2 family names , that is why all the women are ugly here , and many are mentally disturbed it seems . 555 But the island is still beautiful and not densely populated . After our dog died ( in my arms ) I decided to do something for the suffering creatures and adopted a lot ... Now we take care for 18 dogs in 2 different properties here , and we help feed and neutralize the rest of the many strays left on the island . Our dogs , at least the ones who stay with us are not aggressive , they bite nobody , just ignore strangers .

It's the same in any country. Particularly '1st world countries'. It is a concern for him as it is his neighbouring property . What damage has he done by walking on the property ? None i am sure . I am also quite sure the person trying it on has the knowledge that he wanted to buy the property . Hope he is not intimidated by these people .

connda Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Is your land land-locked by other land, i.e., Is it the only way to get to your land? If so, you have a legal right to cross, although you'll now probably need to hammer it out in court. If not, then why are you trespassing on your neighbors land, and no less, getting angry because because they don't want you to? By the way. Calling your neighbor a thief is defamation if they have legal title to that land. You may be best to tread lightly and not make those allegation outside this forum. Just saying...

khunPer Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 On 6/12/2021 at 2:35 AM, nobodysfriend said: I will go and check the legal title with the local land office , but I know already that is is not the one who takes it now , who is registered as the owner . What else can I do ? It's depending of the title deed. If it's land with a low title on the deed that has not been used for some time, another person can claim it by starting to use it. Use might be cutting grass and trees, or making a fence around the land, to show that it's in use. For low title deed the times is three years only (by memory, if it served me right) before someone else can claim unused land. If it's a high title land deed, like Chanote (aka Nor Sor 4) the time a squatter is able to claim unused land is 10 years.

Nobody ever was there to complain about this . Until now . And you also havn't complained about it untill now , so i geuss better let it go and mind your own business . Or is there a little pain in the behind because you wanted to buy it and couldn't and now someone else is just taking it ( or maybe even legaly owning it without you knowing) ??

I do not know where you are living , in a city I guess ... Here everybody goes everywhere if the land is not fenced in . Mushroom season ... They come with truckloads from the mainland and pick up everything everywhere they can go , just as the locals do . They go to the forest that officially belongs to the government and cut the big trees for the money . Only one policeman is sometimes on the island who does what he gets paid for ... ( by whoever pays him ) ... But they all are afraid of the law ( and it's enforcement ) as they all got something to hide I guess . But today the thai government has a lot of specialized hotlines to report something ... I want to live in peace , I won't do that . I just wanted to be able to continue my daily walk as I was used to . I can do that now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
