{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Confirm the full payment schedule, deposits, refund conditions, transfer fees, taxes, legal costs, management charges and any recurring obligations before funds move. The contract should state who pays each item, when it becomes due and what happens if conditions are not satisfied. Relevant category details include: General explanations of foreign ownership, condominium ownership, leases, usufructs, superficies and other common legal structures. Start by separating what the seller or developer says from what the title documents, contract, land-office records and independent advisers can verify. Ownership structure, building rights, taxes, transfer steps and ongoing control are related but not interchangeable questions. The Civil and Commercial Code generally limits a lease of immovable property to 30 years for each registered term. A lease longer than three years should be in writing and registered to be enforceable beyond three years. Renewal language may express an intention to renew, but it should not be treated as the same as a currently registered 60- or 90-year property right. Apply the checks to the actual property, intended use and written responsibilities rather than relying on the category label alone. Before signing or transferring funds, use an independent Thai lawyer and, where relevant, a qualified tax or accounting adviser. Ask for the important answers and documents in writing, and confirm that the advice applies to the exact buyer, property and transaction.","answer_source":"deterministic_grounded_fallback","category":"Thailand Property Ownership","category_slug":"thailand-property-ownership","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_property_guide_context","created_at":"2026-08-05T19:22:33+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-08-06","display_date":"2026-08-06","drip_batch":"2026-08-06","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property prices, availability, construction progress, rental rules and legal requirements can change.
