What Safeguards Exist If Due Diligence Becomes Unsatisfactory after Payment?

Embed a clear due-diligence condition in the reservation contract: completion should be conditional on satisfactory verification of title status, seller authority, encumbrances, permits, quota allocations and licenses. If any of these checks are unsatisfactory, you should be entitled to a refund of the reservation money or to alternate remedies defined in the agreement; ensure the funds are held in escrow or a trusted account with independent release instructions. Set a defined due-diligence period and a fixed completion deadline to avoid open-ended risk. Have a Thai-qualified property lawyer review terms and keep all evidence (title searches, permits, plans, translations, inspection reports, receipts) in one file. Do not be pressured to proceed without clear evidence. This is general guidance; obtain current independent Thai legal advice tailored to your transaction.
