i own condo value 2.4 million baht

In 2006, Thailand raised the investment visa to 10 million baht and I believe the purchase must be a new condo and not a previously owned one. your 2.4 million condo would not qualify.

i own condo value 2.4 million baht

Congratulations. You have no legal right to actually live in it based on your ownership.
