The
Lost Horizons Resort Company holds a land document entitled NS3
K, which is not a full land title (chanod),
but the nearest legal right to a full title. This form of land tenure
prevails in most rural areas in Thailand, which have not yet been
reached by the national survey grid and national land titling system.
It is a form of land ownership recognized by commercial banks for
mortgage purposes, and as a legal right can be bought and sold without
any encumbrances.
Foreigners
cannot own land in Thailand. It has been arranged, therefore, for
them to obtain 30-year leases to their land, renewable for an additional
30-year period without additional payment except for legal and
official fees. It is the Company's intent to provide a perpetual
lease, and you may extend your lease for another 30 years at any
time. Recently the Government has been considering extending the
legal maximum lease period, and the Lease Agreement gives the right
to extend the lease to the maximum allowed by the Government.
Leases are officially registered with the land office and
take precedence over any other claims on the company in the future.
Leases may be freely sold to others, provided they agree to abide
by the original agreements. The details of these arrangements are
clearly stated in the Lease
Agreement and Agreement on Use of Land at
Golden Buddha Beach.
Citizens of Thailand and Thai Companies may make outright purchases.
