Due to its hilly terrain, zoning laws, and protected national park and forestry areas, available land is not as easy to come by as in Phuket as in other parts of Thailand. Choosing the right piece of land in the right location is vital, whether you are purchasing a plot for a large development or private residence.
For large pieces in prime areas, many of the available plots are not publicly listed but a good agent or broker can source these for you.
Once you have found your ideal piece of land, it is important to engage a lawyer to perform a title search to check if the land has a valid title deed, is zoned to allow building the type of property that you plan to build, has access from a public road, and is free from any debts or encumbrances.
