Thailand Condo Shop Legal Research Desk

The Legal Research Desk is the byline used for Thailand Condo Shop’s pages on Thai property law. It describes a process, not a person. The desk is not a law firm, and nothing it publishes is legal advice.

What the desk does

The desk summarises how Thai law applies to foreigners buying condominiums, using sources a reader can check:

• Thai statutes, including the Condominium Act B.E. 2522 (1979, amended 2008), the Land Code, the Civil and Commercial Code and the Revenue Code
• Land Department guidance and published practice
• Legal commentary that Thai law firms have published openly, such as articles and briefs from Tilleke & Gibbins, Siam Legal and ForbesAndPartners

Citing a law firm’s published article does not mean that firm has reviewed or endorsed our pages.

Where the Thai-language text of a law is the authoritative version and we rely on an English translation, the translation is an unofficial working translation.

How pages are produced

Drafts are written and checked against the cited sources with the help of AI tools. We correct errors that readers report. Each page lists its sources, numbered and dated, at the bottom of the page. The full process is set out in our editorial policy.

Before you act

Law, ministerial regulations and Land Department practice change. A page reflects the position on the date shown in its byline. For a specific purchase, inheritance, tax question or dispute, instruct a lawyer licensed in Thailand.
