Living and purchasing land
The most common way to stay a long time in Thailand, is probably to rent an apartment or a house. Normally there are no problems involved, if the rent is paid in time and you are cautious with the furnishings and the building.
Foreigners are not allowed to own any direct interest in land in Thailand. However it is possible to own a condominium unit, a Condominium Ownership. And foreigners also have other options when it comes to land ownership.
One of the most common procedures is that a Thai partner, if the foreigner has one, is registered as the owner of the land.
Companies and foreigners are also allowed to lease land for a period of 30 years, which can be extended for another 30 years. The local land office, or korm ti din in Thai, has to be informed, and approve the agreement within three years to make it valid.
The prices for land varies a lot in Thailand. Land in attractive destinations can be very expensive nowadays. Beach land and properties in popular tourist destinations, or land in major cities as Bangkok and Chiang Mai are such examples. But in smaller towns and in the countryside of Thailand, you will often find the prices of land and property really low, compared internationally.

Land certificates
A true land title certificate issued by the provincial land office are called Chanote or Nor Sor 4 Jor. This is the most "safe" land deed, and it is measured with GPS and has been marked by numbered concrete signs in nature.
Nor Sor 3 and Nor Sor 3 Gor are also land certificates as show who is the owner of a specific plot or land area. Nor Sor 3 Gor is the more detailed certificate because the size of the area has to be clearly marked etc.
Other land certificates and definitions exists and it is of course important to know about all conditions when you are going to buy land in Thailand. If you are in any doubt, consult a lawyer with good knowledge of land titles and legal issues, or the provincial land office.
Advices for "long stayers"
1. Visa - A Non Immigrant Visa or a Double/Triple Entry Tourist Visa is good for expats and "long stayers".
2. Economy - If your economy is limited, it is good to have a budget to be able to see how much you can spend per day.
3. Vaccinations - Three injections with Twinrix will protect you against Hepatitis A for at least 20 years and for at least 5 years against Hepatitis B. Make sure you are vaccinated against tetanus. Please consult a doctor for further advice.
4. Safety - Drive carefully! The traffic in Thailand is intense. Use a crash helmet if you are driving a motorbike. Make sure your drinking water is of good quality. Protect yourself from mosquito bites so you do not get dengue fever or malaria. Install a good burglar alarm and use good door and window locks if you live in a house. Avoid big jellyfishes and do not step on sharp corals while swimming. Use a lot of protecting sun screen while sunbathing.
5. Alcohol - It can be wise to be a little moderate with drinking alcohol wherever in the world you are. Some people who move to Thailand tends to drink more than in their home countries. Partying is fun, but to drink frequently, for a long time can be bad for anyone's health.
6. Work - Be sure that you have a work permit, so you will not find yourself in any trouble with Immigration authorities or the police. Give your business ideas a thought before you decide to start a company.
7. The language - Learn at least the basics about speaking Thai.
