    I look at it this way.

    If I'm going to plant my seeds here and start a family the first goal is to put them in a family home.

    That means exposing myself to more or less what I would be exposed to in any western country and if doesn't work out with the mother.

    If I registered the money I used to buy the house with the Bank of Thailand, and if I could prove that my wife was to blame for the marriage breakdown I would have more chance of getting most of my money back here in Thailand when compared to if the same marriage break-down happened in Australia.

    All this bull-dust about Thai woman ripping off foreigners is mostly due to the fact some farang make so many mistakes at the start and don't cover themselves in the event of a divorce. Poor judgement, no matter where you do it always means disaster.

    At where we are in Hua Hin, we're using the right legal construct.


    The situation in this article is such where foreigners buy land and a house using a Co. Ltd. The share holders of such a Co. Ltd. are nominee shareholders and the Co. Ltd. is only established to own land. While it actually has no real "legal" activities to prove & provide.

    I'm not married to a local Thai but still remain with my current Dutch wife since 1981.

    In my case esp. and I'm looking at a the next series of healthy living for about 55 years more to go, (that's what my medium predicted) and I am very much satisfied with the 30 years short term lease contract & renewing it again when I hit 89 by 2041, clean profit maintained all the way since mid 2010.

    The land & lease laws differ somewhat among the properties I am faced with in Singapore, Belgium, Thailand and Holland too. I am also looking at a future plot somewhere in the Southern Island of NZ, certainly not anywhere near Christchurch for sure.

    This sudden revelation will not be unprecedented as it was expected all along back then with a WHEN? I'm sure most of you are well settled too in Thailand and if keeping your Thai lady happy as with yourselves, I'm sure there is nothing to worry about either...

    A very valid point there L/T, some guys top there selves when faced with a nasty divorce. The thought of losing everything because he has kids and must pay alimony for what seems the term of ones natural life is simply overwhelming.

    It's a fact now in Australia that if a dude has kids and ends up divorced his financial future is seriously compromised unless he is well minted and can start again.

    Unfortunately not everybody is in the position to pick up and start again hence why some guys throw there lot in and move to Thailand.

    Housing, food and the cost of living are out of control and even people with duel incomes are watching there dollars so in comparison the financial loss of a marriage breakdown in Thailand ain't that bad.

    But on the other hand once one loses all his coin whether one is in Thailand or inner Mongolia ones well foked anyway.

    The only way not to get caught out by a nasty divorce is to be fully Gay just like Socal, Blue and Butters but fok that dudes I'll take my chances with the female variety.

    I was referring to a married couple owning a home where the man loves and trust his wife because she is a decent woman. If you cannot trust the woman you married - why the fu[at]k did you marry her? If one marries a slut as many do, expect the worst.

    I thought so too - except I noticed there's only one or two cars parked on the road and the only traffic is two guys (apparently) on bicycles!

    I dunno why people get so het up about all this wives and land shit, I'm house free... I used to think that was a bad thing, but the more I hear, the surer I am that it isn't.
    Get one of these... plenty of room; and no illusions about security of tenure or risk.

    Interesting & creative innovation but with the Chinese being trigger happy these days... (they now have a super aircraft carrier as well to smother the Scottish broth bungling below) you'll be blown deep down to join Davy and his locker without being missed by anyone above and there goes some AU $4,900,000 invested money but that's the value in 1975.

    I'd say, there's more risk with that costly bathtub....

    Next, they'll be chasing all the RENTERS out of Thailand. After all, if you rent the property, you effectively control it.

    I would of thought that most of us get married because we love our women presuming she is a trustworthy and decent person but because we are all human and not perfect circumstances can change over time and the whole shithouse comes tumbling down.

    This thread is about protecting ones assets in the event of a marriage breakdown and not casting guilt on either the man or the woman.

    Shit happens bro.

    Actually this thread is about the possible crackdown on a well-known, long-established, and generally accepted legal loophole which enables foreigners to do something that is not only legal for Thais to do in Thailand (the buying and selling of property), but is also legal for Thais to do in most of the countries those foreigners hail from.
    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    Foreclosure Sale - Las Vegas

    Sun Vista Dr Las Vegas, NV 89104 - $75,000

    That's in an older neighborhood, lower middle class, large immigrant base.

    Good time to invest right now in Las Vegas, prices probably won't go much lower but they will probably remain flat for awhile (lots of bank inventory, as someone mentioned, that is being released a few homes at a time). The economy here is picking up a little but we're still hurting quite a bit, still the demand from renters is holding steady.

    Some sweet deals out there.



    3 Bed,2 Full Bath / 1 Half Bath | 1671 sq. ft. on 0.06 acre

    $99,000. Just down the street from where I live, in a good neighborhood. Price is typical for this style of home right now.

    As an Australian I cant get my head around how cheap those houses are.

    Even with the down turn in real estate the cheapest shitiest house in the worst suburb surrounded by natives that would steal anything one owns would cost 300,000 bucks bare minimum.

    In the country 6 million miles away from anything one would be pushing shit uphill finding anything for $99,000.

    The cashed up Americans must be having a field day buying premium real estate for a song.

    Oh well, thats the way it goes I suppose, winners and losers sort of shit.

    It seems the houses depicted are cheaper than those you could build or buy here in Thailand.Agree terry 57 in Adelaide where I originate from even shitty housing trust homes 15-20kms from the city bring in approx $300,000.Over priced for sure but that is how it is at this time.

    Mostly Californians buying more investment property. A Chinese friend of mine in the real estate biz says she gets dozens of inquiries per day from Chinese and other Asians in California about foreclosures and short sale properties here in town.

    Considering that estimates are more than 80% of Nevada homeowners are upside down in their mortgages, the inventory of homes are unlikely to run out anytime soon.

    Anyone who is a big enough fool to invest in Thailand you would likely loose whatever money they have sooner or later anyway.
