Foreign buyers commonly consider alternatives such as long-term leaseholds (often registered), building rights like superficies or usufruct, or holding a Thai-registered company that owns the land, each with its own risks and rules. These arrangements require careful contract drafting and independent Thai legal advice. Ask your lawyer for a plain-language diagram showing who owns the land and building, the registered rights, duration, transfer and succession consequences. Check the Land Office and bank requirements before transferring funds. This is general guidance; obtain current professional advice for your specific transaction.
