Thailand question: Buying real estate and a law firm?
Dear readers,
I just got back from a year in Thailand and it was really fantastic again. Together with Laos, they are the friendliest people on earth in my opinion. I am going to buy some condos and a massage parlor for my Thai girlfriend in Pattaya, but maybe someone can give me some information about the ins and outs & a good law firm in Pattaya or BKK?
I would also like it if there is something from a Dutch association in Bangkok or somewhere. I know there is a freemason lodge in Bangkok, because I am a freemason myself.
Thank you kindly for the effort.
Regards,
Ronald

No experience myself
I can definitely recommend this law firm. I have had several things successfully arranged with them.
Tina (one of the lawyers) speaks Dutch and Thai well. She is also very clear in her communication.
If you buy real estate in the name of your Thai wife, you must have a so-called usufruct drawn up in your name at the same time. Usufruct or usufruct, sitthi kep kin talaot chivit, means she cannot sell it without your permission, at least while you are still alive.
You cannot establish a business at a condo address, that is explicitly stated in the law.
In Pattaya and elsewhere it is best to use a lawyer who is completely outside all the shenanigans of the land bureaus.
These lawyers are familiar with the procedures in Pattaya:
https://www.kss.co.th/
Mr. Somsak is the designated person. This office is a very expensive office, but you better spend something because otherwise you will lose the millions invested later.
The above consulting advice is free.
This gentleman approached me directly for several days with about the same question, although he did not mention his girlfriend. I gave him extensive advice on residence permit, establishment of a Ltd. (He didn't want to believe that he can keep a maximum of 49% and the other 51% must be Thai.) Licenses to operate a salon, and renting condos for 29 days only is possible without a hotel permit. (Thai law). That Airbnb is therefore practically impossible unless the management of the proposed condominium has a hotel permit, but then it is no longer Airbnb.
He also did not want to believe that law firms are superfluous in his plans. All in all very unbelievable which cost me a lot of free time.
Given his questioning and breast-thumping, I would never invest time in it myself. How credible is his question at all….?
I've seen this kind of people so often, after a few months you don't hear anything about them (money gone, and other misery) experts like Bob have been there for a while, and also know how and what.
It is a pity that newcomers are never open to good advice, after all, the rules are quite different from, for example, Europe.
