  1. Thanks for the responses. I am doing some more research. She wants to get started building in a few weeks, and you guys seem to verify what she told me. I may ask her about the land office. Her mother is getting kicked of family land so she may be more understanding about ensuring that her father's side won't come after her house in the future.
  2. Hello, Looking for recommendations for an ethical, English-speaking real estate lawyer in or near Yasothon. I may be starting construction for a small house for my fiancé' soon and though she is not a bar girl, I am concerned about about protecting both her and myself as I would with an American woman. She has land she says her father gave her for us to build on. So she provides the land and I pay to build the house. It would be a place to house her mother for now and place to stay when we visit. Anyway, as she wants to start construction in a few weeks, I asked if she had a deed or title to the land. She does not and I don't know if she even knows if her father legally owns the land. She says everyone in the village and family knows he gave the land to her and that things are different in Issan so not to worry. Well, I worry! And before I start shelling out the cash I want some assurance the house will be hers and that someone else can't come along and kick her out and keep the house I paid to give to her. That said, I would like to have some protection just in case she decides to leave me. (We are going on 3 years, but with Covid, our time together has been limited.) I have heard it wise to obtain a lease to the land and home for 30 years so that she can't kick us farang men out. Does this seem to work in real life or would it be a waste? Are there other things we guys can do for protection from wives or girlfriends who turn nasty? Thanks for any suggestions and recommendations. Not sure any advisements of "Don't do this!!" will be considered at this point. I know the risks but she has done enough for me at this point that if we split up I will not regret this. The house is cheap and will have little impact on me if I lose it, but I mainly don't want her to lose the house because I didn't take precautions now.
  3. I am ready to return next month if they offer no worse than the previous Test and Go program. The second PCR test and quarantine is silly and is totally killing it for me. Omicron is not to be feared as it is displacing the much more dangerous Delta. As everyone will get this eventually, vaccine or no, just open up and let's try to save the world economy.
  4. I have an OA multi visit visa that is expiring February 23, which I obtained to enter TL last year in March and April. I am back in the US and and while I had hoped to return to TL by the end of January, the current situation will make a visit unlikely. I would still be hoping to enter sometimes in late March or April for a 40 to 60 day visit. Another two trips of similar duration are likely for later in the year, but Covid and government reactions to it are a tad unpredictable. But, there remains a small chance I could make return in late January or early February, and thus renew in Thailand. If I manage to return early next year, like in 30 to 45 days from now, is that enough time to use my current visa and to then renew in Thailand? Otherwise, as the visa will expire outside of TL, I presume that I will need to apply for a new OA visa all over again from the Thai Embassy in the US. Or is there some other option you experts would suggest? Thanks, and Happy Holidays! Jeff
