I just watched a foreign guy lose 12 million baht on a Thai villa. He thought he was being smart, had lawyers, contracts, everything. But he made one critical mistake that 90% of foreigners make when buying property here.
This video breaks down the brutal legal reality of foreign property ownership in Thailand - not the fantasy version you see on Instagram, but what actually happens when the paperwork hits the Land Office.

What you'll learn:

- Why foreigners basically can't own land (and the tiny exceptions)
- The 3 legal ways to actually own property as a foreigner
- How the Supreme Court just invalidated thousands of "long-lease" deals
- Why company nominee structures are landing people in Thai prison
- The hidden costs that can double your property investment
- Real horror stories from Phuket, Pattaya, and Chiang Mai
- Why renting might actually be the smartest move
- The psychological traps that cost foreigners millions

The truth about Thai property:

- Over 46,000 companies now under government investigation
- Nominee structures carry 3-year prison sentences
- Foreign condo ownership limited to 49% of any building
- New laws being drafted to retroactively cancel deals
- Transfer fees, taxes, and hidden costs add 10-15% to purchase price

This isn't about crushing dreams - it's about making sure you don't lose everything chasing a fantasy that was never legal in the first place.
