This post is a continuation of our series Thailand Visas: Setting the Record Straight.

January 30 2012 Categories: Land Ownership, Thailand Property No comments yet

As you know a “witch hunt is a search for witches or evidence of witchcraft, often involving moral panic, mass hysteria and lynching, but in historical instances also legally sanctioned and involving official witchcraft trials.

Thailand Property: How are rights on buildings evidenced?

January 30 2012 Categories: Property General Issues, Thailand Property No comments yet

 

How are rights on land evidenced in Thailand? Now this is a tricky question because land documents such as NS-4 (Chanote), NS-3K (Nor. Sor. Sam Kor.) or NS-3 (Nor. Sor.
