Reader question: Farmland or building land?

By Submitted Message

December 8 2016

Dear readers,

A conversation between friends did not bring a clear solution, so I ask you for a clear statement. Can one legally build on a former rice field?

A friend wants to build on his girlfriend's piece of land. The land was originally a rice field, but now they would raise this land and build a new house. The discussion arose when friends argued that you may or may not build on agricultural land.

This is not allowed in Belgium, but what about the legislation in Thailand?

Regards,

Alfons

    Dear Alfred,

    There are 5 types of chanots (title deeds) in Thailand, each with a different color.
    The color determines what you can do on the ground and also, for example, how high you can build if that is allowed.
    Colors on a chanot can sometimes expire over the years, so always consult the city hall / land office where the relevant ground is located. Every chanot has a registration number.

    Normally if it is agricultural land you are not allowed to build a house, you can try at the city hall to get another chanot that is suitable for building for that part where the house has to be built.
    Naturally, a land office will come here to measure the land and prepare chanot. All of this costs money, of course, but also time and especially if you don't put money under the table.

    I myself have already taken people with me to the land office, had dinner together and everything was ready that same day. Pay the tax fee, etc.

    Succes

    Normally in Isaan, especially in the countryside, or small municipalities you can just build where you want, only with a completely new house you have to go to the town hall with a "drawing", with us most first place a small stone house The first requirement is that there MUST be a toilet. After that, you request an electricity meter, which is assigned to you and you automatically have a registered house number. No one cares what you grow afterwards. We have 3 former agricultural places ready for construction, and built. All official now, incl. tax and property papers (is not always a chanot)

      My experience is that you first need to have the house registration and the corresponding number - you will not get an electricity connection before that.

    Until they do a check from Bangkok and then you lose everything. And those checks happen
    And do they own that farmland? Because quite a lot of agricultural land is Kingsland that has been loaned to landless farmers under certain conditions.

    You ask for a clear statement. I'm afraid that's generally not the case. There are both national and local rules to which this is subject. You will in any case need a building permit. Building in violation of the rules can result in a conviction with imprisonment.
    A brief introduction to the issue can be found here:

    Personally, I would want nothing to do with it and give the girlfriend the necessary money and let her take care of it or just leave it there. With these kinds of 'investments' you have to assume that you will eventually lose your money. Or buy something with all the necessary papers. Or rather rent something that is also to her liking.

    As indicated above, the simplest thing is to inform yourself at the Land Office. If you want to know for sure in the Netherlands or Belgium, you don't ask the cobbler or the grocer. Then you go to the Kadaster: registration of domains.
