I personally have had a 30+30 and house ownership. I have sold it and also transferred it through the Thailand Government property offices.

Can and is done all the time in Thailand. Perfectly legal and promoted by those who want to sell property to foreigners.
Quwstion did you do the lease through builder or some 3 rd person. Many do them through wives or G/F.
Leases come under the civil an commercial code, giving money to a Thai national by an alien to buy land for the aliens use, is a crime under the land code.
Many people who set up these deals for money are aware if things go bad, it's the alien who loses everything not them.

Some schemes that farangs use carry jail time, be careful what you sign. Just because a law has not been enforced doesn't mean it can't or will not be enforced.

In Thailand if a complain is made in writing [by a Thai ] will be acted on, unless you have friends in very high places and not local, but BKK. Jim
