Hi all,
Just a quick reminder.
For foreigners buying a property here in Thailand, make sure the money you transfer across from your home country arrives in a foreign currency. I made the mistake of my money arriving from the UK in Thai currency, so my purchase was rejected by the Land Department. Luckily, I was able to put the property in my wife's name (Thai National) otherwise I would have had to cancel the purchase. It would have been a lot of hassle (time) and expense to cancel the cheque for seller, then send the money back to the UK and start the process again.
I hope others can avoid my silly mistake.
