The State threatening to confiscate private land.? Has Thailand gone full Communist or something?

 

 

Govt wants the land and potential money source to work for govt eg paying taxes, people developing buying investing etc...

"the Interior Ministry has guidelines on how they identify abandoned land plots."

And who bets that these 'guidelines' are never politically motivated?! ????????????

Or being pushed by greedy developers.

That's one reason why foreigners should not buy land here after all it is all owned by you know who no matter what

I'd imagine that the amount of foreigners queuing to buy land so that they can leave it vacant for 10 years is rather short.

The have also offered help to developers on how to buy vacant land.

Sure, as long as the billionaires have more land to build and bulldoze, that's the main thing. Heavens forbid they should help any deprived people interested in farming/growing food to buy land.

Oh dear, I wonder if all those "well connected people" who bought land in the expectation of various road, rail and canal projects will have their little investments confiscated.

 

There was lots of it (buying land) going on around here when the railway to Chiang Rai and Chiang Khong got into the planning stage...

Imminent Domain" is to acquire land (not just any unused land) for public use - think land for freeways.  The owner must be compensated at fair market value.

"the power of the government to take private property and convert it into public use"

 

This is not the same as what Thailand (and Brasil) do.

It's eminent domain...all countries do the same, just call it a different name...

If the Owners of these Plots do not want them seized, all they have to do is plant a few Banana plants on them, and claim the plot is used as a Plantation.

Its what many did a few years ago, to avoid high Taxes on Vacant Plots.

Yes, in our private housing estate a few empty slots have a few rows of banana trees planted.

 

I though it weird, a plot of land worth xx million baht, and they use it for farming banana trees?

 

Legal and tax, was the answer.

Vacant land owners in Thailand are being told to make use of their undeveloped land plots to avoid their property being seized under the Land Code Act.

So by the same token can Thai's plant something on the vast unused govt lands & claim it?
