Jeans? What brand?

If you have speculative money for property investment, put your money in your home country or one that you understand and, (1) allows foreign direct ownership and (2) has a well-established body of law to protect your property rights, in life and after death.

Stay away from places like Cambodia that make it very clear it is not allowed and can just take it off you on a political whim or if you get in the way of a new development.

If you must buy a house for raising a family, as many of our members have done, then put it in the wife's name and work on the assumption that you will never see that money again unless it is rolled over into a new bigger home. Much like your home country actually, it will all end up with the kids one day.

Be happy that we can live here with one of the most relaxed visa regimes and enjoy it while it lasts (or you last!)

Dr HM said foreigners are allowed to rent a plot of land for an extendedperiod with legal procedures from 15 to 50 years.

Tell that the people on Koh Rong Sanloem, who built their hotels and bungalows on the back of a long lease. They were given 7 days notice to leave. I know they are still there but the latest report claims they can stay for another 2 years, despite 8 years remaining on the lease**

If they want it badly enough, or it becomes too valuable, they will just take it.

I think in that example the lessor did not actually own the land as it was state land.

My point exactly. How can you be sure that you have the genuine, final, ultimate owner? Especially when the state is happy to be used as hired goons to do the evictions with no mention of the fraud that has been committed?

Someone high up pulled this scam, no doubt with the tacit agreement of others further up the foodchain. I wonder is they are still collecting the rent on the land the evidently do not own?
