Yes, and the land is usually bought in their Thai Wifes name.

not all of them have thai wives. there's the "company way" where one establishes a company which owns the land and the farang owns the building. whether to go that way is a personal decision. the faint hearted listen to those who will tell you that any day from now the thai government will expropriate you and throw you for years chained in a dungeon before you are castrated and deported. others enjoy their homes very much built on land "illegally" acquired by a shelf company.

there must be at least a dozen threads "Farang and Land" in TV-Forum where you can find a zillion of opinions. but we all know that opinions are like @ssholes. everybody got one.
