BTW Itchy were doing just what your thinking of , just a place for an occasional stay as I couldn't / wouldnt want to live there full time , but its nice to have your own instead of shacking up with the family in a shed + its something nice for the misses when I am gone
That's a perfect example of how Thais think and how we sometimes just follow the locals way.
Nor Sor Sam is I believe a provincial title and is not controlled at a local level.
Nor Sor Sam and Nor Sor Sam Gor
Nor Sor Sam and Nor Sor Sam Gor are legal certificates that show who has the right to possess the land and use the benefit of the land as an owner. The name showing on the title is the person who has the right to the land and has the legal right to possess the land (use the benefit of the land as an owner). This right will be recognized by the law and can be used as evidence in any dispute with an ordinary person or the government. It is possible to register a sale or lease and apply and obtain approval to build on this land.
So planning permission needs to come from the Provincial Government, will they come and knock it all down, probably not. Can they come and knock it down, YES and there is nothing anyone can do to stop them.
Better to at least try and stay within the rules and avoid headaches later on.
We have a small rubber factory, when setting up I got the no one cares, no problem. Had to get 4 sets of planing permission to be legal. Jim
