Types and Titles of Phuket Land

Phuket is in Thailand. There are various types of land with different kind of titles. However you should really know what they are really about. I must tell you that there are many kind of lands with different titles. However you must know that they have some specific meaning. I will list them one by one:

1.Sor kor 1:
A Sor kor 1 was a term used long time ago. It means that the land is for agriculture and cultivation. You cannot do any other thing on it. You don't have right to sell the land. I have heard that this is also called right to use the land. You should be careful to buy a land near this kind of land as it delays the chanote making process. Also you will have to take the permission of the local government.

2.Por bor tor 5:
This is the land for agriculture and cultivation. There is no owner of this land. The chief of the village has the rights to administer and manage this land.

3.Por bor tor 6:
This just tells you that this land is taxable. This however only shows that this has just to deal with tax and has nothing to do with ownership.

4.Sor bor kor 4-01:
This land was provided by land department reform committee. The general feeling was that all the poor people should have land.

Now I have told you about all these titles. I must say that the rules and regulations in Thailand are very strict and you will have to follow it properly. If you are found violating any of the rules then it's only you who will suffer. These are some kind of land. However you will also find many properties which are well suited for residence. I find no reason why you can't go for buying them. Thailand is not a bad place to live in. yes phuket is an agricultural area. However you will also find others as well. It's not so that any other type of business is absent in phuket. Agriculture is the main occupation, but phuket is also famous for electronic appliances as is Thailand. If you are an electronic engineer then there is lot of scope for you as well.

You can always buy a land and make a house of your choice over it. However you will have to take the permission from the local government sometimes. I must tell you that the rules and regulations of the local government are easy to understand and you will easily be able to satisfy them. However I must tell you that don't try to be over smart otherwise you might fall is someone's trap.
