A buyer should understand every controlling document before signing. A careful translation can help, but the contract must state which language prevails and discrepancies should be resolved before execution. Machine translation and a salesperson’s summary are not enough for title, default, renewal, tax or dispute clauses. Use a qualified translator coordinated with the buyer’s independent Thai lawyer.
The purpose of due diligence is not to make every risk disappear; it is to identify who owns what, what is permitted, what is promised, who must perform and what remedy exists. Slow down when documents, names or explanations do not match.
This is general guide information only; obtain current independent Thai legal, tax, financial or technical advice for the specific transaction.
