Guides

Thailand property buying guides for foreigners

Four guides cover the questions every foreign buyer meets first: what you can own, how freehold and a 30-year lease differ, which transfer fees and taxes apply, and what protects you if you buy off-plan. Legal facts were checked in August 2026 and each guide lists its sources.

How the guides are prepared

Each guide states the month its legal facts were checked, lists the public sources it relies on and ends with a disclaimer. Thai tax rates, thresholds and ownership rules can change, so the guides are a starting point for a conversation with a licensed Thai lawyer, not a replacement for one.
