===========================

Metric System-Land Measurement

The Metric System was adopted in 1923 BUT old Thai units of measurement are still commonly used. "Talang". "Wah" and "Rai" are most commonly used. Talang means square. 1 Talang equals 1 square meter.

Converting units of measurements like "Rai" and "Wah" can be quite complex - may create legal issues.

Caution - know what you are buying based on Thai units of measurements.

THE MEASUREMENTS USED FOR LAND IN THAILAND
In Thailand, Land is measured in Rai, Ngan and Sq.Wah.
1 Rai = 4 Ngan or 1600 Sq.m.
1 Ngan = 100 Sq.Wah  or 400 Sq.m. or 4,304 Sq.ft.
1 Sq.Wah = 4 Sq.m. or 40 Sq.ft
1 Acre = 2.53 Rai  or 43,535 Sq.ft
1 Hectare = 6.25 Rai 
Land prices are usually expressed in Baht per Rai or Baht per Sq. Wah. 

=====================

Tenures (Title Deeds): Chanote Or Nor Sor 4 Jor is most credible. Highest land Title - grants full rights over the property. Properties were surveyed in accordance with the national survey grid and properly marked.

House Book (Tabien Bahn)
A Ta. Bian.Baan or Tabien Bahn (house book), issued by the Thai government via their local municipality. It links a person having their domicile to an address and is Not proof of Ownership of Properties.
Two (2) types of Tabien Bahn: Bluebook (Thor. Ror.14) for Thais; Yellow book (Thor. Ror.13) for Foreigners.

Foreign Ownership of Real Estate
Thailand Land Code, Sect 95, Foreign investors bringing in or investing THB 40 million (USD1 million) into Thailand can acquire land with a freehold title (not coastal property) for personal use, not exceeding *1 Rai (1,600 sq.m) to be approved by the Minister.
Condition:
(1) Type of business in which foreigners invest that will economically and socially benefit the country or which is declared by the Board of Investment as eligible for the application of the investment promotion under the law thereon.
(2) The period of maintaining the investment shall not be less than three (3) years.
(3) The land that the foreigners may acquire shall be within the locality of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the City of Pattaya, Municipality, or the zone designated to be the residential area under the law on city planning.

Freehold Ownership
If you are buying a Freehold title property, you will need to form a Company. You can be a Director of the company that holds the title to the property with complete control. When a foreign national has invested (USD$1 million) in stocks, securities, or companies, and has Board of Investment (BOI) approval, the BOI may recommend that the foreign national be permitted to hold a freehold title not exceeding an area of 1,600 sq. m.

Leasehold Ownership
Buying a Leasehold property means that you are getting a 30 Years Lease but in practice, Leaseholds can be obtained for a 60 year period using the “30+30” mechanism, whereby a 30-years lease is agreed upon between the freehold titleholder and the lessee, which includes a legally binding extension contract for a further 30-year period.
Except under special circumstances, foreigners or foreign juristic entities may not own land and are limited to ownership of 49% of condominium units as defined by the Condominium Act of 1999.

Other Types of Properties (less popular)
Any Lease or Tenancy exceeding 3 years must be in writing and recorded on the land ownership title deed. 
Any lease or tenancy longer than *3years must be registered with the Provincial Land Department, otherwise, it cannot have any legal effect.

Leasehold Period & Extension
Though Leasehold Tenure is generally 30+30, there are also Leasehold Tenure of 75 and 103 years.
For Example Mahanakorn Ritz Carlton initially sold their units with 103 years’ Leasehold. A year later, the Developer purchases the Freehold land. The Developer decided to sell the units as freehold land. Buyers who had previously bought units under have them converted to Freehold by topping up a certain percentage of money.

Foreigners can purchase condominiums or apartments without exceeding the quota of 49% of foreign ownership. Funds must be brought in externally for property purchases. A *Tor Thor 3 or Tor Thor Sam document or a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form from a Thai bank is required as proof of funds being transferred externally for property purchases by foreigners.

* Buyers must secure a Tor Thor 3 or Tor Thor Sam document or a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form as proof of their remittance or international transfer of funds (better in Thai Baht) for the purchase of the property. Buyers are required to bring this document to the Land Department when effecting property transfer.

* Foreign Buyers can acquire Leasehold land for a period of thirty (30) years with renewal for another thirty (30) years.

Each condominium shall have aliens or corporate as indicated under Section 19 holding ownership in the units collectively not exceeding forty-nine (49%) percent at the time of registration.

A joint venture formation; Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) makes it possible for foreigners to acquire houses and land.

For an SPV, a max of up to *two (2) foreigners can be shareholders with the majority of the rest (51%) being Thai.

* Thailand Land Code, Sect 95, Foreign investors bringing in or investing THB 40 million (USD1 million) into Thailand can acquire land with a freehold title (not coastal property) for personal use, not exceeding *1 Rai (1,600 sq.m) to be approved by the Minister.

Condition:

(2) The period of maintaining the investment shall not be three (3) years.

(3) The land that the foreigners may acquire shall be within the locality of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the City of Pattaya, Municipality, or the zone designated to be the residential area under the law on city planning.
