This guy is his own worst enemy. There is no excuse for not having already hired a Thai lawyer to get answers on how they were able to sell the house without him. There is absolutely no need for him to be there in person for basic questions to be answered. And his improved ability to speak Thai is irrelevant beyond the fact that it will make it easier for the people who screwed him to feed him another line of BS for him to swallow.

When living in Phuket in the mid 80's I saw a 'Farang' guy building a beautiful house! Just off the Chao Fah Road . He designed and built the house with an under house car park! The place was like a huge bungalow, the envy of all in the area. Well sadly when the house was finished, the Thai lady's family turned up, one of the guys put a gun to the 'Farang's' head and he ran! he fled the island. I was shocked as this was pretty rare in those days! Not rare now!

U should’ve listen to his whole story it’s obvious you haven’t

A common misconception that the Tabieen Baan denotes ownership of the property. It doesn't. It merely lists those who are registered as living there, mainly these days for ID card and other registry purposes. Its pretty clear the relatives pulled the wool over his eyes, giving him the tabieen baan and letting him think the place was in his name, when in reality he had signed over the land from his inheritance and had his name left on the tabieen baan as window dressing. Sad to say it, but that million baht will be long gone by the time he gets here. No one is holding that money in escrow for him.

Hit the nail on the head. The majority of rural Thais struggle with money management. As this is over 2 years ago since the house was sold i would imagine the vast majority of that money is gone. In terms of legal recourse - that could be a very long and expensive process and given that he signed over the property and land rights then is becomes a he said she said argument.

I remember the first story & it was good to hear the second part, I'm very surprised that he even got the 800,000 baht back for the house build, so I wish him all the luck to get the money back for the land, I doubt he will have much luck getting the money back for the land, but at least confronting his uncle will make him see that he has done wrong & also lose face, being charged double for the original build is probably the norm for some dishonest people, but at least he was told about this although it was too late, I'm hoping there will be more content on this story, but the best outcome would be that he gets better & that he can put all this behind him.....

I have google "Can a foreigner inherit land in Thailand?" and got : "yes as a statuory heir, but he cannot register ownership of the land because he will not be given permission. Under present law he must dispose of the land within a reasonable period (meaning up to 1 year) to a Thai national".

thank you

I remember a case near Nong Phrue in the early 2000s where a Canadian I believe lost his wife in a fire of his home. The wife's family tried unsuccessfully to obtain the remaining of the home. The court actually sided with the foreigner and concluded that he had suffered and lost already too much. I believe he rebuilt and is living there tiday with another with and their daughter.

Unfortunately there aren't many decent people with good stories in these comments. Too many old men been scammed by little girls so they think everyone is ripping everyone else off. Sad really. There's plenty of good Thai people and loads of falang with houses for decades. Thanks for this story.

Not just Thai family. My parents were Irish, me and my sisters were born in England. My parents would do what they could for you (I could trust them), but sisters, disappointing shall we say, i.e. you can't even trust your "family" in a country you can understand the language in.

Easy mark. Not surprising. He would be taken advantage of in most countries in the world - US included. Hopefully, he's learned from this.

thank you for watching. I have never been taken advantage of in the US. I started a business all by myself in my 20's and did pretty well. That $20K, at the time, was two months income for me. I knew it was a gamble and I said, "what the hell, go for it." I ended up getting the $20K back. I never paid anything for the land. A part of me feels wrong for wanting anything associated with the land. thank you for watching

As soon as Hearing he was an American Thai without any knowledge of his country you know where this is heading.

This guy is such a great story-teller.

Tabienbaan/bluebook (yellow for foreigners) makes you caretaker not owner. Charnod is the land deed and is transfered at Landoffice, not at Amphur office. As a foreigner you can own a house on rented land but the house owner certificate is not issued at Amphur.

@@DakotaTPatterson I can not remember the name of office (which is not Amphur) or Tamboon, it is another and they issue a paper certificate about house ownership. But you do need some papers..... Paid this and that for construction, architect? Other.....
