Bachelor’s degree in the Philippines
Hello, I want to work as a foreign language teacher in Thailand, and for that, I need a bachelor’s degree, which I don’t have. I didn’t find many schools in Europe—almost none offer completely online studies. However, I discovered universities in the Philippines that offer fully online programs at very attractive prices, around 1000 euros per year. I’m wondering, if I graduate from such a university, won’t that be a problem in Thailand? Won’t the Thais expect, as a Westerner, that I have a university degree from Europe? Thank you for your opinions. -

The 30+30+30 leasing contacts in Phuket is over
I do not understand it the same as you. First, not the entire lease is cancelled. Just the renewal and some damages were paid. For each case, you must look at every contract and "automatic renewals" would be void. The trick is to make a lease and separate an addendum with renewals. Good projects could make a new addendum to modify the first ones. Under Thai law, for a lease renewal to be enforceable, the original lease agreement must include a clear and binding promise from the lessor to renew the lease under specified terms. This principle was affirmed in Supreme Court Decision No. 4655/2566, which invalidated automatic 30-year lease renewals that lacked such specificity . The courts have consistently held that if a lease agreement merely allows the lessee to propose a renewal or states that the lessor will consider renewal, without obligating the lessor to accept, it does not constitute a binding promise. For instance, in Supreme Court Decision No. 13286/2556, the court ruled that a clause allowing the lessee to propose a renewal did not compel the lessor to agree to it. Similarly, in Decision No. 3263/2535, the court found that a provision stating the lessor would consider renewal did not amount to a binding commitment. Furthermore, if essential terms of the renewal, such as rent or duration, are left to future negotiation, the promise to lease is not considered binding. In Decision No. 8692/2549, the court held that a clause allowing for rent adjustments based on future economic conditions lacked the definiteness required for enforceability. Therefore, for a lease renewal to be enforceable under Thai law, the original lease must contain a clear and definite promise to renew, with all essential terms specified. Absent such clarity, the lessee cannot compel the lessor to agree to a renewal. Yes, I know. Not many people can cite these decisions... -

Superficies or Usufruct
As a foreigner married to a Thai national, you're not allowed to own land in Thailand, but there are legal ways to protect your interest in a property you help develop. Two common legal tools are the right of superficies and the right of usufruct. Both can be registered with the Land Department and provide different types of security. Superficies gives you the legal right to own the house or structure you build on the land, even though the land itself remains in your spouse's name. It's a real right under Thai law that can be set for up to 30 years, or for the lifetime of the landowner or the superficiary. It's also renewable and can be transferred or inherited. This is often the best choice if you're concerned about maintaining ownership of the home in the long term. Usufruct, on the other hand, gives you the right to use and benefit from the land and anything on it. That means you can live there, lease it out, and enjoy the income, but you don’t own any structures outright. It's typically set up for life or for a fixed term and ends when you pass away. While it's easier and less costly to register than superficies, it doesn't provide ownership of the building, which might be a limitation if you've invested in construction. Legal fees for setting up either right aren't excessive but will vary based on the property and local authorities. You’ll also need proper documentation and agreement from your spouse. The previous website mentioned is not updated and quite old. The best information on superficies can be found here: https://thailawonline.com/superficies-in-thailand/ Including Supreme Court decisions, benefits, comparisons, etc. If you're building a house and want to secure your investment, superficies is usually the stronger legal option. But in some cases, combining different rights can provide even more security - ownership of the building and and renting the land for example.- 1
