Thread: recent rice land offer

What is your interpretation of Chanote?

Can you post a photo of the top right hand corner of the land paper? That will define the status of the title.

Your teerak, for how long have you known her?

I'll try to get that. Not in Thailand now but I believe "Police" will send it if I ask.

Outside Amphur Ban Dung. As for your other info. I admit I'm just clueless.

Going on 7 years - married for two of them.

First off, I am sure you understand the land will never be truly yours. If your wife is planning to be around for awhile and you have faith in your relationship, I see no harm in taking the risk to purchase. We are not speaking about a whole lot of money and land is a much better investment than anything I have seen in Thailand. I will tell you a story about some land I paid for and you can decide things on your own. I gave my wife enough money to purchase some land on one of the main roads here about 10 years ago. It was 350,000 baht and we had originally planned to build a house on it. We saw another plot that we liked more, so it was purchased and we ultimately built our house on it while the other land sat empty. I told her to not sell land since it has been going up steadily in our area. I was just told today that a plot of land half our size across the street from ours just sold for 1,000,000 baht. You can do the math yourself to calculate the possible gain our land has made in 10 years.

It all boils down to if you are willing to part with the money knowing what you know now about your relationship with your significant other and if you are willing to take the risk.

Hick, if the land isn't Chanote title, which I don't think it is due to the price being asked. If it's plain Sor Por Kor -ish land it can't really be sold at all or can only be transferred upon death named on the paper and only then to a family member.

Check who's name is on the paper.

Ok guys, thanks for your quick replies.

As it (JUST) turned out - there is no Chanote.
Her mother understood wrong....which is....believable and quite predictable.

It is a 1/2 Nor Sor 3 and a 1/2 some other paper(??) I'm very fkin' confused. haha
There are 7 names on this paper at the moment.

They claim that a new document would not be generated, but rather her name would be added....

Maybe all of that means something to you guys...maybe not(?)

I just killed the idea. I'm out.

Thanks again.



I do enjoy all of your posts on these issues and will just keep on reading.

You've nailed it Pragmatic. Nailed it to a cross!

100% agreed.

Hick land is fetching 200,000 a Rai. Average earning per Rai is 3-4000 Baht per year. How long to get a return? Land buying as an investment is no longer a good thing. The Thais have overpriced it for a few years now and it just ain't selling.

Welcome to the forum Hick. Chin up and keep posting.

OP, Thais call any land with paper, charnote, so unless you can post a photo of the title deed, any advice is guess work.
Get your wife to go to the land office for a valuation for tax purposes, many charnotes that were issued under the nation land survey program can not have an ownership change for 10 year.

^^ Yes, to be honest....if it had Chanote and if he really wanted to (basically dump it) sell it for such a low price, I was hoping to buy and flip, but hey....

In the end, she called him direct and he spoke plainly and clearly about the land papers (if you can still call them that) and she relayed that I'm not interested.

No harm, no foul.

Thanks for offering to take a look at the Chanote in question. That was mightily generous of you.



Thanks James, duly noted and ....next time.

No Charnote = No Can Do. Simple.

Those ding dongs drove 60 kms roundtrip to view the land this morning and send pics to us BEFORE sorting out what paper/papers it has...5555

Her father is no dunce...he's got his own land and works his ass off....but her mom can be a lil'....on the flakey side.

farking hail TOT / LOS all that shit.

I don't really see how 7 names are on the land paper. May be family members of the original deceased owner?

Nor Sor Saam (3)

The N.S.3 is a title deed which shows a person's right to possess a certain plot of land, but the land borders must be confirmed with neighboring plots. There are no so called parcel points or numbered concrete posts which are hammered into the ground to mark the boundaries of the land. 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 and use the benefit of the land as an owner (it is not actual full ownership). 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 if building complies with relevant building regulations, zoning and or other laws (e.g. environmental protection). The owner may burden the land (mortgage, lease, etc.) and register this with the Land Department. The land may be sold subject to a 30-day public notice period.
A problem with the Nor Sor Saam title (as opposed to a Chanote or Nor Sor Saam Gor title) is that it is not true land ownership or confirmed right of possession but a right of possession over a land area without an accurate surveyed boundary which often lead to boundary disputes when transferring/selling or upgrading such land during the notice 30-day period and possible hostile possession over such land under the Civil and Commercial Code (book 4) - i.e. claims over the land by someone else not registered as the person who has the registered rights to the land.

Correct again, Pragmatic.

They are all direct family members and the two plots on either side of said plot are also owned by the same mix of family members.

Glad I had been reading here and consulted with you guys. Seems like he wanted to sell outside the family on "trust." Sure, go ahead and do anything with it, but I'll hold the papers....
