visited bangkok 4 years ago, met up with lovely lady visited her village in sangkha and stayed in a good hotel (malinee)just before covid.kept in touch with lady via skype throughout lockdown 2 years later i visited and married i am self employed and retiring early next year and have bought a plot of land with a view to build(i know i cannot own the land)i have had the land raised and nearly ready to build ,have approached two builders and chosen ,shoud i start work now or wait till i move to thailand ?

I’m looking at leasing or buying land in Ko Phangan with an existing bungalow, with the view to build 2 more and rent out.

Some questions :-

1) I understood I can lease and form a company but I have now read that Thai gov changed the law in October 2022 and I can own the land?

2) are there surveyors that can check the existing structure

3) any recommendations for an English speaking lawyer in Ko Phangan

4) any builder recommendations?

All other thoughts appreciated! I do property rental in the UK so I’m not a newbie but of course it’s very different here!

Thanks 🙏

Hi guys, I have had some small works done by a Thai builder, he doesn't seem able or keen to finish the works. I still owe him the final stage payment and that is enough money for me to pay another builder. So i am looking for a reputable builder to finish this small job in the Pattaya area. If anybody can help, it would be much appreciated
