Secure Your Thai Property Investment: Expert Legal Services for Foreign Investors

JIRAWAT & ASSOCIATES provides clear, secure, and comprehensive legal counsel, empowering foreign investors and expatriates to confidently buy, sell, and lease property in Thailand.

Seize the Opportunity in Thailand's Thriving Real Estate Market

As Thailand’s real estate market experiences a confident rebound in 2025, significant opportunities are opening up for foreign investors. From chic condominiums in central Bangkok and luxury pool villas in Phuket to commercial properties in the EEC, the Kingdom remains a premier destination for its attractive returns and exceptional lifestyle.

However, navigating Thailand’s unique legal landscape can be complex and daunting for the uninitiated. At JIRAWAT & ASSOCIATES, we understand these challenges intimately. Our mission is to be your trusted partner, transforming legal complexity into a clear and secure investment strategy.

The Challenges and Risks Foreign Investors Face

Investing in Thai property without expert legal guidance can expose you to unforeseen risks:

Foreign Ownership Restrictions: Thai law places clear limitations on foreign land ownership. Understanding the legal pathways—such as the 49% foreign quota for condominiums, long-term leaseholds, or corporate ownership—is critical to a secure investment.
Complex Contracts and Documentation: Sale and Purchase Agreements are often drafted in Thai and contain complex legal terminology. Signing a contract without a full understanding can lead to unfavorable terms and a loss of rights.
Risks of Improper Structures: Using Thai “nominee” shareholders to hold property is illegal and carries a high risk of investigation and forfeiture of the asset by Thai authorities.

Land Department Procedures: The process of registering property transfers and other legal acts at the Land Department involves strict procedures and documentation requirements that must be followed precisely.
