In Thailand, when making a purchase and sale transaction for an apartment or house, you get a Chanot (Nor Sor 4) - a certificate of ownership. This document is the same for both Thai citizens and foreigners. A Chanot is a document with the coat of arms of Thailand and the layout of the property on the front side, as well as information about the address of the property, the area and the department that issued the document. On the reverse side, the history of all the owners of the apartment is inscribed. Chanot is filled out exclusively in Thai, including the name of the owner.
Things are somewhat more complicated with the registration of the land. In Thailand, there are about 20 types of different title documents for land. However, two are optimal for personal use:
Chanot (Nor Sor 4), which guarantees full rights to the land and documents the clear boundaries of the land, up to satellite imagery and marker posts around the perimeter.
Nor Sor 3 is a document on the basis of which it is quite simple to get a Chanot. The document contains the boundaries of the site. You should clarify the boundaries with the Department and place markers on the ground, if you didn’t have them. If you decide to fence the site around the perimeter, you can start building the fence only after receiving confirmation from the neighbors that there are no claims to the territory of the site.
Other types of land documents are limited in their intended use, may be limited in time, and do not guarantee unconditional ownership.
We summarize: The title document for the apartment is Chanot. On the ground - Chanot or Nor Sor 3.
