Is Phuket another country or does it belongs to Thailand? When bad news coming to the expat community in Thailand they come from Phuket. Now a tax chief in Phuket has launched an attack or crack down on all nominee companies that most people are using to buy houses here in Thailand.
Illegal companies will be found and closed down and the assets confiscated, really great new for people who thinking of buying a house in Phuket or Thailand.
Now people that lived here for a while are pretty used to this kind of this crack down and any lawyer you will talk to will tell you to chill.
But we can feel a change in the wind, within a month the Thai government has cracked down on
Foreigners having farms
Foreigners owning beach property
Foreigners buying land trough Thai wife
Is this a trend that the Thai government wants to continue then they should make a change to the land rules and make it impossible for tricky lawyers to go around the law.
The Thai government just changed the customs department and maybe these crackdowns are just a warning to land owners. We have indications that some major changes are coming and we would advice our readers to wait with any land buying.
