Do not use money you can't afford to LOSE, all the money you spend in Thailand is a gift to your (girlfriend or wife)and you can never own land, only lease land on a 30yaer lease, renewal if your lucky ,all your money you use is a gift, not a loan or bissness money (gift)and of course you may find a (brother),or friend working in the bar on a great wage tooo,oh and the sick buffalo at home too,

I biuld a house which I live in ,she already had the land ,o-visa and yearly extentions, 90days reporting, but I found a diamond in the hay stack, 19years,so far ,hope you're lucky to, pal
