And they will be the first to get looked over by the government as they are suddenly discovering a lot of shady foreigner/Thai deals with these land offices you see like in Hua Hin or Phuket. No way would I ever put my money in them. They default by the banks for example YOU lose! Won,t break my heart to see all the shops shut down as they also tend to attract a lot of foreign criminals.
