If you are looking at buying property in Ubon then consider the measurements in Thailand first. When most foreigners decide to buy property in Thailand mainly out in Issan they tend to want to buy land for their Thai wife or a house in the village to live near the family of their wife. English is not common out in the ‘sticks’ and land measurements can be a total nightmare, however below is a table which will show you how the land measurements in the West compare to the land measurements in Thailand.
Note that before you buy any land in Thailand in the name of your wife to speak to a lawyer first as foreigners may not own land in their name. Speak to a lawyer about setting up a usufruct for you in your name in the event you wife dies or you end in divorce. This ensure that you do not have a total loss of investment when things do go wrong. You also need to ensure that the title deed is correct as explain here and above all that there are no debts or servitude’s registered against the land. Speak to a lawyer about doing a due diligence on the property or you might end in a property scam which is not uncommon in Thailand. See what can go wrong here.
