Expatriates in Thailand moving to Isaan and who buy land and house in towns like Roi-Et, Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), Buriram, Surin, Khon Kaen or Udon Thani usually are married to a Thai national or have another form of cohabitation with a Thai national. For these foreigners it is common practice to purchase property on the name of their Thai partner and subsequently register a lease, superficies or usufruct in their name to protect their interest and investment. A common structure is a loan agreement and a right of usufruct or registered long term lease, whereby payment of interest on the loan is set off against the payment of rent, or in case of a marriage with a Thai national a right of usufruct without consideration.

Real estate holding companies

A controversial land ownership method for foreigners in Thailand is the Thai limited company. Since the Thai government issued 'land office guidelines' how to deal with partly foreign owned Thai companies registering land (starting May 25 2006) this foreign real estate ownership structure is clearly discouraged and restricted by the Thai government.

Thai condominium apartments and foreign ownership

In the nineties foreigners could own 40% of the aggregate unit space in a condominium registered under the Condominium Act (i.e. in case of 100 equal units 40 could be owned freehold by foreigners). Between April 1999 and April 2004 there was an exception created which under conditions and in certain areas allowed foreigners to own 100% of the aggregate unit space. Currently foreigners are allowed to own 49% of the aggregate unit space, also referred to as sale-able area, in a condominium.
