Help With Buying Property In Thailand
If you are considering an investment in property in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya or any other city or province in Thailand there are risks. The first issue could be communication as all the official paperwork will be in Thai. This could result in a misunderstanding that could lead to possible financial loses. Then the next issue that foreigners are not allowed to own land in Thailand.

- To ensure that all translations are certified as true.
- Title Searches are made at the land office to ensure there are no encumbrances and that the seller is the legal owner of the property.
