palusa Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 In a nutshell, I am a Brit, I bought some land for my son (Thai national), agreed a partnership business wise with a fellow Brit and his Thai wife on my sons land. Im in the UK and cant work because of injuries sustained in a car accident. Recently found out the wife has added her name to the land papers in the land office that no one in the office can explain but it still stands. They now claim all my sons land and threaten us never to turn up at the land (She has army connections), they are now in the process of expanding the business without our permission. Im stuck here for the moment and wonder if anyone knows of a Thai lawyer with affiliations in this country (UK) that I could approach to start possible legal proceedings.

LennyW Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Is the land in your Thai son's name, or is it in a trust for your son with a Thai guardian, or did you form an illegal company with other foreigner's to hold the land.

palusa Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Is the land in your Thai son's name, or is it in a trust for your son with a Thai guardian, or did you form an illegal company with other foreigner's to hold the land. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app The land was solely in my sons name his mother was the guardian. We did not form any company and signed no agreement as the pair started screwing us from the off using the wifes army connections as a threat to us, the land is paper land only waiting for the next round of chanout papers to be given. The wife said that if we made any trouble for her, her army friends would claim the land and she would get the lot in her name. These are particularly nasty people who had me completely fooled and I always thought as the land was my sons we had nothing to worry about. Like I said I am injured and cant get back so I want legal representation preferably here in the UK. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMarlow Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I doubt that you will find any Thai lawyers with UK offices, however, one of the most well known and reputable law firms in Bangkok is Tilleke and Gibbins which has connections internationally and probably would be able to assist you initially.

54321 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hi I wish I could be of more help, all I can say is that I saw a post about 4 weeks ago, and a solicitor details with offices in the uk and thailand was mentioned. Afraid I can't recall the details but this might jog someone else's memory. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeland Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Siam Legal have a London office (EC1 area). Tel no. 020 7101 9301. Not sure how effective they will be with this situation, but maybe a good place to start. A few years ago I purchased a condo, and the developer ran out of money, borrowed money using the land as security, defaulted on a payment, and lost the land, meaning we lost the project. One of the guys from this company helped us get the land back in a very long and complicated process. Good luck with your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAZZELL Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Army connections? Most Thais and Farangs are full of BS. They've probably just given the "minions" in the land office a back hander. RAZZ Edited December 8, 2013 by RAZZELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
