sleepyjohn Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 It maybe not exactly a title, but as a chanoot or nor sor sam has certain letters on top of the little concrete corner posts, this one has the letters กบ or gor bor. I am told it is government owned land. I am told one can "buy" it, and that it will be registered in one's name (that would presumably be a Thai person, but hey who knows?). I am told one can sell it or subdivide it and it will be registered in the new "owner's" name. I have never come across this one before. Have I been told correctly? And does one become an owner or a sort of permanent lessor? Thanks for any info at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterestedObserver Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 You assume correctly, only a Thai can own land in Thailand. As far as the Government part, which part of the word Government don't you understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assume correctly, only a Thai can own land in Thailand. As far as the Government part, which part of the word Government don't you understand. Thankyou for the smart replies. I am under no illusions. I consider it unlikely that this "registration" will satisfy all my ardent property desires. However I've been here long enough to realise that sometimes a modest country retreat might be bought with less security and still work. I would still be interested in some actual information if anyone knows the specifics of the gor bor in question so I can check if it might, just might, be a possibility. thankyou v much Edited November 14, 2010 by sleepyjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepyjohn Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Registered where?On the back of a fag packet by the local puu yai baan? I didn't answer your question. The fact is it that given that the "luk" has a denomination and a registration number suggests that the land is indeed registered somewhere more serious than on the pooyaybahn's empty bumsquirter box......which, apart from the stunning views and proximity to a small estate my girlfriend's uncle's family owns and has built several houses on happily over many years despite it's mere chanoot chumchom, is what raises my interest.
