A blue book is only to prove who lives in a house.
I would advice anybody thinking about buying
this land to talk to a lawyer.
I refer to my previous post "
Recently there has been a lot of debate regarding the provision of the Chanote title at the local council level with visits from the land office to discuss the available options, know doubt it will be forthcoming a some point in the near future".
Second, most certainly you can buy a Chanote if you want to pay for it but having a Chanote does not guarantee that your land will not be taken by the government at any time, this is the same with the Thai blue house book (Tabien Baan). Having asked today the village local govt. representative about this he confirmed that yes it can happen but he does not have a record of it actually happening (his records go back 35 years).
Third in the village where this land is (Ban Chai Porn) and the next one over (Nung Sung), have been inhabited for nearly 50 years both have local govt. officers with Amphur Mueang budgeted services being provided (i.e. roads, lighting, water etc). Utility company's supply electric, telephone lines etc. So the trading of land, houses etc, has been accepted practice during that time. Consequently, the population of the village is a mixture with policeman, government officers, working people including businesses and farangs living here, which would suggest that the Thai blue house book (Tabien Baan) serves their interests until a change to Chanote is in place.
Lastly, whilst land is under the Thai blue house book (Tabien Baan) the price is as advertised once a Chanote is issued the price will rise and of course it is advisable to use the services of a lawyer, however, with the local system of barter and exchange being in place it may not be necessary (that is the buyers decision).
