{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Who pays stamp duty can depend on the property, holding structure and the agreement between parties. The relevant law may specify who is liable; the commercial agreement may allocate costs differently from the person legally liable.

This is general educational information; laws and practice can change. Use an independent Thai lawyer and, where relevant, a qualified accountant before committing money or signing documents.
