Can’t Own It, Are These Foreigners Wasting Money? Thailand

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

In this video we talk about foreigners who invest their money into renovating homes that they can’t own in Thailand. We also show you the before and after of our old cottage that has been recently renovated by our friend Phil. Phil does not own this cottage but he decided to invest his money to make it as if it were his own. Would you do the same thing to live a more comfortable lifestyle, while living in a foreign country such as Thailand?

We post videos of our journey while living in Thailand for the pleasure of our audience only. Our content is not meant to encourage/discourage or influence anyone to travel, live, work, marry, retire, rent, buy, build or own a home, land or business in Thailand. Our content covers a wide variety of topics including travel, food, real life stories, informational videos, homes, condos and land for sale or rent and much more. That being said, let's discuss "Foreigners cannot own land in Thailand". While this statement is true to a certain extent, there are many foreigners who own homes in Thailand with their Thai spouse and/or Thai partner. There are also many Thai citizens who watch the Thai Girl Gift & Foreigner Joe Channel who are interested in home/land rentals and sales. Our video title never says "House, Land ,Condo or business for sale for "Foreigners"... While there are ways for a foreigner to secure land and/or a business, before attempting to do so, it is highly encouraged and recommended to seek legal advice on the ways for foreigners to legally secure a home, land and/or open a business in Thailand. Also, ensure that you and your legal representative/ lawyer, throughly go over, fully understand and are in agreement with the terms and conditions as outlined in all contracts, prior to signing any legally binding contract.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Great meeting you both as well. Unfortunately, we won’t have time to visit this trip. Next time you guys are in Thailand let us know.

[@MrEye4get]

Many people rent houses in Thailand. The landlord benefits from any and all improvements. Personally, I'd buy [invest in] a condo. You own it and can sell it anytime in the future.

[@unclecraigbaannawk]

wow...unbelievable transformation on your old digs....

[@lilo7019]

[@jonklause5130]

Great idea as far as making your rental how you like it.

[@mamabear5488]

Great video Joe❤

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏

[@paulbateson7882]

Great video Joe and Gift. Unfortunately, farang can’t own the land because it is not Thai citizen. My fiancé and I are saving up the own house in Nan province and put her name. Cottage looks nice. Rental house can’t be remodel such as upgrade the room, kitchen and back terrace. In WA state it get crazy expensive because building more housing and less trees.

[@garyjack5358]

just to say Hi, we are from Wa also, and my wife is from Chiang Klang Nan.... going back to Thailand in Nov and then hopefully moving after the first of the year... wish you guys luck!! chok dee mak! Gary and DK

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏 is notwithstanding, there are alternatives available to foreigners for successful land acquisition. The most common option is to set up your own Thai Limited Company to own the land on your behalf. Another option is to enter into a long term leasehold with the Landowner. It is a commonly unknown fact that although a foreigner cannot own land in Thailand, he can own the house or structure built thereon. One only has to apply for a construction permit to build the house in his own name.

[@KRABI_PT]

Great video. I rent too.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏

[@justinmcintosh6554]

I definitely would invest into a long term rental to make it my own.

[@karenglaicar5486]

Nice remodel. If your going to stay there for another 10 years why not.

[@joeshmooo5327]

What is in the new building that now sits next to the cottage?

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Laundry, work shop and bike storage.

[@5thdimension625]

Can you remind me what town in Thailand these cottages are located?

[@carleto9597]

The cottage I liked when you first video and when you showed up in Prachuap Khiri Khan where you wanted to move to and Cookie was around. I knew it was the place to live in Thailand. Phil did a great job.

[@Yolo942]

I would not buy a house in Thailand , even if I could buy in my own name. Way to risky.

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

We are passing each other in opposite direction LOL. We are in Nakhon Si Thammarat and will be in Surat Thani on Thursday. Safe travels down South!

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏. Safe travels to you guys as well.

[@paulcousins1371]

Thanks Gift and Joe, everyone has their own reasons, if you’ve worked your life you can enjoy your retirement how you choose, either renting or owning a property👍🏿🥰

[@jerrymylove1754]

That’s true. Especially, if they never owned a piece of property themselves. It’s a goal for everyone and if you can’t achieve that goal in the states you can definitely do so in Thailand.

Find yourself someone like Gift and invest in that… much better returns than curtains and other “stuff”.

[@eddies8174]

Hi Joe. Eddie here from Pakistan. How much was spent in doing up the cottage? I couldn't find the video which you mentioned regarding the USD 19 hotel in Surathani. Perhaps you could give me the name if you did not make a video on it. Thanks a lot. Never get tired of seeing Gifts bye dance:)

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

I don’t know how much it cost to renovate the cottage. As far as the $19 dollar hotel, honestly I can’t remember. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
