Due to Thai property laws, a foreigner cannot directly purchase land in Thailand; however, there are other alternatives if you wish to pursue this option. The options include; using a company, as foreigners can own land in Thailand if it is the name of a Thai company; exploring investment options related to the Board of Investment Promotion (BOI); or placing the land in the name of your Thai spouse. It is advisable to contact a lawyer to navigate the various options.
