How old are you? 30-year lease would be cheaper and easier. 

 

This is also safer option, but heard some horror stories about leasing houses / condos;

 

A falange guy down in the south leased a house, went back home for a couple of months. Back and saw a boat parked in the garden...!? The owner said it's still my land, I can park my boat, go get a lawyer and complain to the court..., which he knows probably takes years and lots of money...! 

 

Another one, not sure of a condo or house, wanted to refurbish the bathroom, but was told not allowed at all..., it says so in the lease agreement...! , so stuck with old bathroom and the rest for the next 30 years...!!!!? 

 

What rights and dos and don'ts included in the lease, sounds pretty restrictive and almost a trap...! 🤔

 

My own personal experience was 3 Swedish guys leased a whole 3 floor, 6 condo building for 10 years, after was newly built, I was renting a condo from them there.... , right after lease ended the Thai owner asked ten times the previous rent and throw them all out, basically having to give back at the end of any term is a sure thing..., I always laugh when they mention 90 years lease, based on 3 x 30 years..., it never happens..., will be kicked out after tge first one... 😅

Can I jump in here and ask a question. I need to re-establish contact with my solicitor who advised me on selling some land owned through a company with my ex wife. Due to changing computers I have lost here email address. I can find her searching the internet but only her address in Thonglor Bangkok.

Her name is Suwaphat Sarasalin. Somebody here recommended her but it was more than 10 years ago. Does anybody know her and got her phone number and email address. I don't want to turn up at her address unannouced although security might be able to give me her phone number.

She also did my will that needs updating.

Replying to an old post but Pat has her own company called DTV services and is still a practising Attorney at Law. google her name and you should see DTV visa. Look at the team pictures and it will confirm it is her
