Ombudsman Siracha Charoenpanij revealed the information during a seminar on disguised legal transactions and foreigners' land ownership in Thailand held by the Senate committee on economic, commercial and industrial affairs at parliament yesterday.
By law, a foreign entity is allowed to hold no more than 49% of any land. However, the Ombudsman said in many cases, more shares were held by the foreigners via nominees.

Ombudsman barking up the wrong tree

It is true that many farang men have given money to their Thai women to buy land and then to build a house on it. This practice is widespread in several Isan provinces where some communities are literally known as foreign-in-laws villages for the high number of cross-cultural marriages. It is also true that some foreigners who have obtained permanent residency in Thailand have bought up almost all the units in some condominium buildings, in Pattaya, for instance.
But it is simply not possible that the actual level of foreign land ownership is anywhere close to the figure claimed by this unspecified study. Even one-tenth of the figure postulated would still be unrealistically high

Re: ''Ombudsman says foreigners own third of all land'' (BP, March 13).
One third of all land in Thailand owned by foreigners! Ombudsman Siracha Charoenpanij is either xenophobic or perhaps has a hidden agenda to create mistrust of foreigners and create nationalistic feelings. Firstly it is impossible that foreigners own a third of the land in Thailand. It is an irresponsible statement as it misinforms, misleads and is highly xenophobic. I also believe Thaksin Shinawatra himself enjoys property ownership in the UK as do many of the Thai elite. So why do you have a problem with foreigners owning property here ? This sort of thinking and statement belongs in the Dark Ages and is childish to say the least. Thank you for upsetting many people who come here and invest in your country.
