Is it actually possible for a foreigner to buy land and run a tourism business in Thailand
If you are European, start your tourism business in Europe where all the tourists are and they have all kinds of money to spend and there are a lot of cool things to see and do. I don't know where you live now, but I think just two examples are Paris and Venice but there are plenty of others. People go there because they don't know where else to go or what to do. So you have an overwhelming number of people there and in many other cities. Take them someplace else and someplace fun. Don't throw your money away in Phuket where the tourism business is sketchy, often low budget, and pretty much you will be locked out of 80% of the market if not more. If you are not Russian or speak Russian, do you think you can lock up Russian market? Same with Chinese market, or Japanese market...or local budget market. Why would you want to get your money out of Europe and into a shaky 3rd world economy like Thailand? That sounds like a good way to loose everything you have worked hard to obtain. No matter what anyone tells you or what kind of workaround they think they have discovered, you cannot own land as a foreigner in Thailand. Even if you could, there would be no ROI for you. Look at the prices of land vs what you could charge per night for similar accommodations that you envision. Don't buy into anything you can't control. Your 49/51 is correct, but that means your partner is in control. They are cracking down, especially in Phuket where the 51 is controlled by a lawyer or nominee just for that purpose. If you spent a year in Thailand did you do your market research? Did you do market surveys on rent? Plenty of people do this for a while like Russians, but at some point the Boys in Brown crack down. Someone will get jealous and turn you in. Maybe your partner. Maybe your staff. Maybe the staff you fire. Maybe your competition. What's your 3rd silent partner budget? The BiB budget? Read the news here regularly. Plenty of people get busted. Just a matter of time. Can you hear in Europe that giant sucking sound from the weed business in Phuket? That inhale is the sound of foreigners and locals too losing their shirts, shorts and slippers on the weed business. If you want to move to Thailand, do it. Just don't dream of running a buiness or buying land. Work remote with European income. Or spend you savings on rent and food. Don't risk it all on a risky illegal business. -

Crime Illegal Hotel Operation Uncovered in Kaeng Krachan National Park
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Authorities from Kaeng Krachan National Park in Phetchaburi province are pursuing legal action after uncovering an illegal hotel business operating on protected land under suspicious ownership claims. The case centres on suspected land right violations under Section 64 of the National Parks Act. According to Mr. Mongkol Chaiphakdee, Chief of Kaeng Krachan National Park, a joint investigation was conducted on 30 June and 1 July by park officials and the district administration at a property located at House No. 195, Moo 3, Song Phi Nong subdistrict, Kaeng Krachan district. The investigation followed reports that land within the national park, originally registered for use in 1998 by a woman named Ms. Somporn, covering approximately 5 rai, had since been transferred and was now being used as a private camping and hotel business known as “Hornbill Camping – Kaeng Krachan.” The site is currently occupied by Mr. Johnrangsarn 58, who claimed to have been given verbal permission by Ms. Somporn a decade ago to use the land. He said she had grown elderly and moved to live with her children in another province in 2018. However, officials found no evidence of land tax payments for the site and noted that Ms. Somporn had previously lived there since 1993. Aerial photographs revealed that between 2020 and 2021, heavy machinery had been used to level the land, excavate parts of the hillside and construct multiple structures, indicating large-scale commercial intent. Authorities discovered a total of 18 buildings scattered across the land, including accommodation facilities and tent sites. The business had also been actively promoted on Facebook without any evidence of proper licensing. Following the inspection, officials concluded that Mr. Johnrangsarn’s occupation of the land violated Section 64 of the National Parks Act B.E. 2562 (2019), which prohibits unauthorised commercial activities on park land. Two formal charges are now being prepared: 1. Violation of the National Parks Act B.E. 2562 – conducting business for profit within a national park without permission. The offence carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison, a fine of up to 200,000 baht, or both. 2. Violation of the Hotel Act B.E. 2547 (2004) – operating a hotel without a licence from the registrar. This offence is punishable by up to one year in prison, a fine of up to 20,000 baht, or both. Mr. Mongkol stated that the case illustrates the challenges posed by illegal land occupation and unauthorised commercial activities in protected areas, which severely impact conservation efforts. He confirmed that further investigations would continue, particularly regarding land modification and the construction of large-scale buildings, to ensure that the law is enforced to its fullest extent.
