The property market in Thailand is not regulated very well and you could very well lose your investment in the kingdom. There have been many property scandals in Thailand and some buildings have never been completed 10 years after people have paid a deposit. Ensure that your investment is safe by allowing a Thai property lawyer to check the documents and the developer for you before paying or signing any contract.
