Dear readers,

My wife has about 16 rai of rice land in Kamphaeng Phet. She would like to sell this land. To date, she does this by listening to family to see if anyone is interested. This obviously doesn't work.

Does Thailand also have brokers who can help with this?

We live in the Netherlands by the way.

Regards,

French

    The first question you can ask your wife is “what is the ownership of the land”. Is it all a “Chanote or a Nor Sor 3 Kor then it is salable. Much agricultural land is owned by the state, but on loan from farmers. That land cannot be sold.

    Furthermore, let your wife search in Thai for “land for sale – Kampaengphet” (ขายที่ดิน กำแพงเพชร). Then websites will automatically roll out where you can offer it.

      Very good what you describe Peter. It is indeed true that a lot of land for the farm and even for living has been loaned by the state in the past.

      Often to the parents or grandparents who (as long as they are still alive) also let the children use the land. Upon death, the land could be put in the name of the children, but this land can NEVER be sold.

      After all, the land remains the property of the state.

      Here in Surin I have experienced several times that people want to sell or pawn the land, but do not know that they do not own the land at all.

        From what I ever understood, the peasants were often in debt, and the state bought up the land, and loaned it to them, to prevent them from flocking to the cities.
        After all, without land to grow rice, there was nothing to eat.

    Dear French,

    What are you asking for the 16 Rai ground in Kamphaeng Phet?

    And near which village is it?

      I think my wife charges 600.000 Baht per Rai.

        Hi French,

        Okay, before I tell my wife:
        Where in Kamphaeng is it about? (We are near Pak Dong).

        Is it on a road or on the water?
        And no stink factory or noisy parrot nearby?

        Greetings from Josh

        Frans, isn't this one zero too many? It seems like a lot of money for farmland to me. If this amount is correct, I will immediately ask my wife to sell our more than 30 rai in Buriram…..

        • Roger says up

          Not cheap indeed for real farmland.

          If you can build on it, this is of course a positive point, but you really have to be careful, this is never certain. Good information is the message.

    I've seen placards in the Thai noodle restaurants that usually pop up around the land offices. In this case you could also “ask” the district office if you can also build on that land…
