Starting with the right questions.

Can a foreigner own land in Thailand?

Thai law generally restricts foreign land ownership, although limited statutory exceptions may apply. Other lawful arrangements may be considered depending on the property, intended use and the client’s circumstances. Individual advice should be obtained before signing or transferring funds.

What should be checked before buying a condominium?

Due diligence commonly covers the title, foreign ownership quota, permits, management records, outstanding charges, the sale agreement and the source and transfer of foreign currency. The appropriate scope depends on the project and transaction.

Do I need a Thai company to operate a business?

That depends on the proposed activities, ownership, licences and applicable restrictions under Thai law. The structure should be assessed before incorporation or entering into commercial commitments.

What should I provide for an initial consultation?

Please provide a short chronology, the parties involved, the outcome sought and any important deadlines. Do not send original documents or highly confidential material until we confirm that we can consider the matter.

Does submitting an enquiry create a lawyer–client relationship?

No. A lawyer–client relationship begins only after conflicts and scope have been reviewed and engagement terms have been agreed in writing.
