Reader question: What is the average cost of 1 rai of agricultural land in the region of Kalasin

July 30, 2014

Dear readers,

I would like to know what 1 rai of agricultural land costs on average in the region of Kalasin (also know personally that as a foreigner this is not possible only through leasing of use fruckt or through your Thai wife).

Was personally asked by family if I was interested in 5 rai Normally the first part is usable as building land and the rest as agricultural land if I have understood the law correctly. I would like to receive your opinions, experiences, and reactions from you.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Dirk

    Dear Dirk,

    If you want to do your girlfriend / wife a favor, you can of course buy this for her, including a house to be built. You will soon be at a total of 20,000 euros.
    A few things: Never buy, always rent. In any case, never buy from family, or close to family, unless you are willing to hand over / share everything, including the contents of your refrigerator and your car.
    If going out/divorced, it becomes almost impossible for you to continue living there, even if you have usufruct. The family will take care of that.
    In any case, never buy land to build if it does not have a chanote qualification, especially if you want to build a house on it as a foreigner. Is asking for trouble.

    Of course I don't know your personal situation, but I've already seen a lot of misery around me in this area.

      Another vinegar whiner, I bought 50 rai from my family, big house put on it completely fenced off and no problems with anyone and yes if it goes wrong it's for my wife and son, so what, the refrigerator is still ours and the car too. Didn't bother my family or anyone at all, so again monkey sandwich on thailandblog.

    Phitsanulok 35000 baht per rai, that's very cheap, must be 350.000, or 20 years ago.
    I bought 2 rai in Phichit for 290.000 and that was a very low price.
    And as for Jasper, there are definitely Thai women with families that don't give you this kind of problem.

      Dear Wim:
      Of course there are also good Thai families. I myself am very happily married in Thailand.

      You say: “I bought 2 rai in Phichit for 290.000”. Let me help you out of the dream: you didn't buy anything at all. You gave your wife/girlfriend a gift of, say, 7,500 euros.
      Nice for her later, when you're dead, or when you split up.

      My point is that buying as a foreigner does NOT get you anywhere, while renting is very cheap in comparison. I myself rent a house with a garden at the front and back of approximately 90 m125 for just under 2 euros per month, in a very beautiful environment. In addition, if I get bored (and that's possible after a few years!) I simply recharge everything and leave for another place.

        Where do you rent in Thailand? I would also like to when I retire in a few years.
        I think renting a house, or buying a condo yourself in your name is the surest thing.
        And an account only in your name in Thailand, not both. Am I glad now that I did.

        Dear Jasper, I'm not in a dream at all, but I did it carefully.
        I used to live in Chiang Mai and paid about 11000 baht a month in mortgages there and I would have paid that in rent, if I was renting.
        I forgot to mention that this bargain for 290.000 baht also included a house, so now I live for free, already 2 years 290.000 / 24 = 12083. After another year that will be 8000 and so on.

        We also grow fruit and vegetables for about 3 baht per month on the 1 rai (because 2500 extra rai from the government is included for free).
        So the cost of living is very low and it gets lower the longer I live here.

        And as for the present, I'm happy to give it to her because she's very good to me.
        The Dutch should always have everything planned, they should live a bit more like a Thai in that area.

          Then you did well, Wim. 7500 Euro is also not the end of the world. I reason exactly the same, precisely because I have a son. I invest a relatively small portion of my capital here.
          However, the point is that many relationships end after a short or longer period of time (especially with a large age difference!), even in the Netherlands that is 50%, and then you are left empty-handed in Thailand as a foreigner.
          I've seen foreigners lose their lifetime savings. Motocy, then a big VIGO and then a house, built on family land. All in the woman's name.

          My motto: never invest more money in Thailand than you can walk away relatively unscathed. No matter how much you love your wife, and possibly child.

    I have to agree with Wim.
    Bought 5 rai in Hua Hin years ago –
    in the name of my girlfriend ( current wife )
    well with chanot title _
    and then leased it from her for 3 x 30 years.
    I was lucky with the family
    and that I live in my wife's house,
    I have nothing to lose .
    Much depends on your wife's family and how you can integrate yourself
    in that family.
    My wife's parents are very simple,
    sweet, sincere and honest -
    so is my wife, but she is smart too –
    and so there are plenty
    sweet and honest women and families in Isaan – Thailand !

      Hi Chris ,
      What are your rights if you lease it for 3 x 30 years? Suppose the relationship goes wrong…

      • Hans Bosch says up
        13 August 2014 to 02: 35

        The nonsense just keeps circulating. There is no lease for 3 times 30 years. That's a sales pitch and a monkey sandwich. You can only lease for thirty years. After that period you are at the mercy of the owner of the land. If it refuses, you will lose your lease and land.

    Dear Dirk,

    My girlfriend bought 5 rai 5 years ago near Kamalasai (between Kalasin and Roi Et) for
    375.000 bht so 75.000 bht per rai.
    According to her, the land price has risen a lot and you are currently paying 150.000 bht. by rail.

      It is very location dependent.

      Farmland somewhere outside a village can be found for around 80.000 baht per RAI indeed, even in this day and age. If you are in the middle of a village, it will already be more expensive and, for example, in a city like Khon Kaen it is almost impossible to pay.

    Almost in the village itself, 300 meters from my wife's parents' house, I bought a ready-to-build piece of land from 1 RAI for 300.000 baht on a newly paved road and electricity and water next door with chanot, of course, in my wife's name

      Recently I saw an offer of 2 rai in Hua Hin (beach)
      for 140 000.000 XNUMX baht !!!
      Costs are very different from where you are.
