Prohibition On Foreign Land Ownership / Bowring Treaty

2011-07-11 17:06:34

The prohibition is 'except where allowed by treaty' etc and the Bowring Treaty allowed for British enjoyment of property rights etc on a par with Thais.

I have no doubt this treaty is ineffective now but can anyone point me to the lack of renewal / act abolishing it or whatever that made it ineffective - just out of historical interest?

Many thanks.


Regsitered Sequential Leases (Not Renewal)

2011-03-10 20:46:00

We are all aware of different land offices at different times having different approaches to registering various things.

That someone else easily and successfully registered something doesn't mean someone else will have the same ease or any success doing the same thing.

I would like to ask Sunbelt, other regular posters in this section and anyone else their view on a past thread in the Phuket section which raised an issue that i think goes beyond this.

My position is that just because something is (mistakenly) registered doesn't mean its a correct and valid registration that can be relied upon or that the registration provides any real protection to a future challenge.

The thread is  
http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/429094-cost-of-housing-in-phuket/page__st__225

Beginning at page 10 and involving posts #234, 239, 261, 262, 287, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 300, 315 & 319
- it involves a disagreement between myself and Katabeachbum as to the validity of registering two 30 year leases.

This is not about a contractual renewal. Rather it appears Katabeachbum is saying he has a chanote with two separate and sequential 30 year leases registered on it (apparently one lease to him and the 2nd to someone else)(or at the very least the 2nd residential lease begins in the future and ends 30 years later from that).

My view is that if this is correct the land office have made a mistake (for whatever reason) and that although 'registered' it is invalid, illegal and offers no protection whatsoever.

Any thoughts?




Foreign Usufructuary Registering A Lease

2011-03-07 19:00:22

So, given a recent thread and all talk of 'solid law' (theoretical rather than practical) aside anyone have direct knowledge or experience of a foreign usufructuary personally registering a long term lease to a third party?

Further still any such leases (granted by a foreign usufructuary) being upheld in Court?
