In this episode, Pear from Siam Legal talks about the "buyer beware" reality of the Thai real estate market and explains why a private contract (SPA) must align with the official Land Office forms. Pear looks at the 2026 tax implications for foreign buyers who stay in Thailand for more than 180 days and identifies how the Revenue Department treats funds brought in for property purchases. This episode also looks at the recent 2025 Supreme Court ruling that clarified the 30-year lease limit and explains why the "30+30+30" renewal promise is no longer a secure legal strategy for foreign investors.
