Metric System-Land Measurement

The Metric System was adopted in 1923 BUT old Thai units of measurements are still commonly used. "Talang". "Wah" and "Rai" are most commonly used. Talang means square. 1 Talang equals 1 square meter.

Converting units of measurements like "Rai" and "Wah" can be quite complex - may create legal issues.

Caution - know what you are buying based on Thai units of measurements.

THE MEASUREMENTS USING FOR LAND IN THAILAND
In Thailand, Land is measured in Rai, Ngan and Sq.Wah.
1 Rai = 4 Ngan or 1600 Sq.m.
1 Ngan = 100 Sq.Wah  or 400 Sq.m. or 4,304 Sq.ft.
1 Sq.Wah = 4 Sq.m. or 40 Sq.ft
1 Acre = 2.53 Rai  or 43,535 Sq.ft
1 Hectare = 6.25 Rai 
Land prices are usually expressed in Baht per Rai or Baht per Sq.Wah. 

Tenures (Title Deeds) : Chanote Or Nor Sor 4 Jor is most credible.Highest land Title - grants full rights over the property.Properties surveyed in accordance to national survey grid and properly marked.

House Book (Tabien Bahn)
A Ta.Bian.Baan or Tabien Bahn (house book), issued by the Thai government via their local municipality. It links a person having their domicile to an address and is Not proof of Ownership of Properties.
Two (2) types of Tabien Bahn: Blue book (Thor.Ror.14) for Thais; Yellow book (Thor.Ror.13) for Foreigners.

Foreign Ownership of Real Estate
Thailand Land Code, Sect 95, Foreign investors bringing in or investing THB 40 million (USD1 million) into Thailand can acquire land with a freehold title (not coastal property) for personal use, not exceeding *1 Rai (1,600 sq.m.) to be approved by the Minister.
Condition:
(1) Type of business which foreigners invest that will economically and socially benefits the country or which is declared by the Board of Investment as eligible for the application of the investment promotion under the law thereon.
(2) The period of maintaining the investment shall not be less than three (3) yeas.
(3) The land that the foreigners may acquire shall be within the locality of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the City of Pattaya, Municipality, or the zone designated to be the residential area under the law on city planning.

Freehold Ownership
If you are buying a Freehold title property, you will need to form a Company. You can be a Director of the company that holds the title to the property with complete control. When a foreign national has invested (USD$1 million) in stocks, securities, or companies, and has Board of Investment (BOI) approval, the BOI may recommend that the foreign national be permitted to hold a freehold title not exceeding an area of 1,600 sq.m.

Leasehold Ownership
Buying a Leasehold property means that you are getting a 30 Years Lease but in practice, Leaseholds can be obtained for a 60 year period using the “30+30” mechanism, whereby a 30-years lease is agreed between the freehold title holder and the lessee, that includes a legally binding extension contract for further 30-year period.
Except under special circumstances, foreigners or foreign juristic entities may not own land and are limited to ownership of 49% of condominium units as defined by the Condominium Act of 1999.

Other Types of Properties (less popular)
Any Lease or Tenancy exceeding 3 years must be in writing and recorded on the land ownership title deed. 
Any lease or tenancy longer than *3years must be registered with the Provincial Land Department, otherwise it cannot have any legal Effect.

Leasehold Period & Extension
Though Leasehold Tenure is generally 30+30, there are also Leasehold Tenure of 75 and 103 years.
For Example: Mahanakorn Ritz Carlton initially sold their units with 103 years’ Leasehold. A year later, the Developer purchases the Freehold land. They the Developer decided to sell the units as freehold land. Buyers who had previously bought units under have them converted to Freehold by topping up a certain percentage of money.

Both Buyer and Seller may negotiate privately how the transfer fees. Stamp duty and taxes are to be settled and paid at the Land Office.
