Buying Real Estate In Ubon Ratchathani

I have had several inquiries via my website in regards to buying a house and/or property here in Ubon Ratchathani. I admit to be lacking on this topic as I have never had any experience in this matter. So I did some research.

It is virtually impossible for a foreigner to own land here in Thailand. There are ways to buy a house though. As I see it all ways involve a certain amount of risk to the person who puts up the money.

This is what I have learned but I cannot vouch for how accurate the information is. If you are married to a Thai citizen you can pay for a house but it must be totally in your spouses name. You can have a house built on leased property and own the home but not the land. As I understand it the leasor can terminate the lease at anytime for any reason. Another way is to invest a sum of money in Thailand and then you are allowed to purchase a home.

If anybody has any different or further information I would appreciate any input that is valuable and can benefit visitors and readers of this website.

I located one company Kittrong land and House on Chayangkun Rd. I visited the office and one sales associate spoke limited English. His name is Peter Chen. He told me he could help any foreigners who are interested in buying a home here in Ubon. He also told me he is knowledgeable in regards to Thai laws about foreigners buying real estate in Thailand. I cannot confirm or deny this claim.
