A Thai spouse may own land in their own name, but the foreign spouse may be required to acknowledge that purchase funds are the Thai spouse’s separate property. This can affect matrimonial and succession rights. Do not treat marriage as a substitute for legal planning. Discuss wills, registered rights, divorce risk, inheritance and occupation rights with independent lawyers acting for the appropriate parties. This is general educational information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Property structures, taxes, licences and registration practice can change or depend on the facts. Use an independent Thai lawyer and, where relevant, a qualified accountant before committing money or signing documents. The exact structure should be confirmed in writing by a qualified Thai lawyer acting for the buyer.
