The land department in Thailand has made clear that they are not planning a crack down on Thai wives and their false statements that they bought the land and not the foreign husbands.
The land department said that they will only check the document if someone makes a complaint (how to get back on your next door neighbor) and if they saw some case in court (problem with the developer forget about it and just take it like a good boy).
So now you can be totally safe or something buying land in your Thai wife’s name
Sure Condo is the safest bet you can do. But also that can change since you can not own land and a condo never last more then maybe 30 years in Thailand.
I guess this would depend on how much you trust your wife… I was married for 16 years to an American girl, who then dumped my butt for a younger man… took everything… you don’t think the same thing could happen in Thailand? My advice, callous as it may seem, buy a condo and forget trying to own land like we do back in our home countries…
