don't know if it has changed but as far as I know a couple of years ago you could not hold sole title to property in Thailand if you were a foreigner.

You cannot own property in Thailand, the ways around this include
1) Take out 99 year lease, there are a number of companies selling properties on this basis.
2) Marry a beautiful Thai women (hopefully it is a women)

Click to expand...

A Thai spouse must prove that the finance used to purchase the property is hers and hers alone, with no foreign claim to it.

Some good info on this .

What you do is set up a company own 49 per cent of the company and set a thai person to own the other 51 per cent of the premises
