<description><![CDATA[Up until May 2006 it has been common practice in Thailand for foreigners to invest in real estate through Thai limited companies (i.e. real estate that would normally be restricted for foreign ownership). The foreigner owned a minority shareholding (up to 49%) in a Thai limited company, but controlled the company through preference shares and weighted voting rights. Current government regulations try to prevent the misuse of companies and circumvention of the law by foreigners.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As foreigners can't own land they lease land. Though an important aspect of any real estate investment in Thailand, the ownership over the house or structure is often ignored. Owning the house or structure simply protects a leaseholder or hirer of immovable property in Thailand against a land owner refusing to renew the term of the land lease or prevents claims of default by the lessor. Any long term lease structure aimed at long term possession of an immovable property should include freehold ownership over the structures built upon the land.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Popular among foreigners in Thailand is ownership of an apartment unit. Thai law does not allow foreigners to own land but Thai law allows foreigners to own a condominium unit in their own name. Foreigners often are often not aware of the difference between apartment buildings registered under the condominium Act and units in a building not registered under the Condominium Act which are especially popular in the tourist areas of Thailand. Only true registered condominium units offer individual freehold ownership for foreigners.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In many legal systems in the world the real property would become a joint or matrimonial property during marriage and many foreigners investing in Thai real estate in their Thai spouse's name assume they have a claim towards the property. Unfortunately, Thai law requires that the land (in practice often land and house will be registered in the Thai spouse's name) becomes a personal property of the Thai national during marriage and not a common property between husband and wife (irrespective if you are married under Thai or foreign law). Thai law does not allow foreigners to have any claim of ownership or management of land in Thailand.]]></description>
