    Thailand's New 99-Year Lease Bill Explained

    Thailand is fast-tracking a bill that would more than triple its leasehold cap, from 30 years to 99. Ice from Siam Legal lays out what's actually in the proposal, including which property types qualify and what happens to ownership once the term ends, and why the government sees this as a way to attract serious foreign investment while cutting out illegal nominee structures. The episode also breaks down who stands to benefit most, from developers and high-skilled professionals to everyday Thais, and where the bill currently sits in the legislative process.   𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝:  https://www.siam-legal.com/realestate/Leases.php   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: info@siam-legal.com Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: 📌Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ 📌Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ 📌X: https://x.com/SiamLegal 📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal 📌LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ 📌YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal

    THIM Explained: Thailand's New Immigration App and What It Means for You

    Thailand just launched a new digital platform that could change how every foreigner enters and stays in the country. In this episode, Pear from Siam Legal breaks down THIM, the Thailand Immigration Management System, and what it actually does: storing your traveler profile, building the Digital Arrival Card directly into the app, and cutting repeat trips down to a quick flight and date update. Pear also clears up a common misunderstanding (THIM doesn't replace the TDAC requirement) and looks at what's coming next, including 90-day reporting and visa extensions moving into the same platform.   𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝 (𝐓𝐃𝐀𝐂 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝) 🌐 https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/tdac-thailand-digital-arrival-card.php   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: info@siam-legal.com Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: 📌Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ 📌Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ 📌X: https://x.com/SiamLegal 📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal 📌LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ 📌YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal

    Is Dual Pricing in Thailand Legal? What Foreign Residents Need to Know

    Why do tourists pay more than locals at Thai national parks, temples, and museums? In this episode, Pear from Siam Legal explains how dual pricing actually works in Thailand, why it's legal at most official attractions, and how it differs from informal tourist overcharging at places like tuk-tuks and beach rentals. Pear also covers what foreign residents can do if they're paying tourist prices despite living, working, and paying taxes in Thailand, including what identification might get you the local rate and which questions are actually worth asking at the ticket counter.   𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝'𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘢 🌐 https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/thailand-privilege-visa.html 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨-𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘮 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 (𝘓𝘛𝘙) 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘢 🌐 https://www.siam-legal.com/ltr-visa-thailand/ 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝑜𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘢 (𝘋𝘛𝘝) 🌐 https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/dtv-visa-thailand.php 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘪 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘢 🌐 https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/Thailand-Retirement-Visa.php   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: info@siam-legal.com Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: 📌Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ 📌Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ 📌X: https://x.com/SiamLegal 📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal 📌LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ 📌YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal
