Phuket Land Types And Titles - Lesser Phuket Land Titles

There are many separate types of land titles in Thailand. This description will cover some of the land titles I have seen and know about here in Phuket while dealing with real estate here over the last seven years.

Sor Kor 1

Phuket Thailand

A Sor Kor 1 was used a long time ago but still exists today in many places in Phuket and it Thailand. This type of title gives you the right to farm the land but not sell the land. It's very much like a right to use the land. I've heard this sometimes is also known at the proprietary right to use the land. Be specific buying land near this kind of land as it delays the Chanote production process by any months as I learned before because you need to get it approved by an additional one local government office.

Por Bor Tor 5

Por Bor Tor 5 land is ordinarily farm land or agricultural land and listing as having no owner at the local office. This kind of land has been built on in the past. It's very base here on the island here and colse to Phuket. The hamlet chief is normally the one who administers and controls this land.

Por Bor Tor 6

Por Bor Tor 6 land is the documentation in order for the tax amount to be given for a piece of land. This only shows the land is taxable and has nothing to do with proprietary rights.

Sor Por Kor 4-01

Sor Por Kor 4-01 is land that was allotted by the land department reform committee. The idea was so poor population could have land. This land can be passed down to only direct heirs and the title cannot be bought or sold.

Next part I will recap some of the greater land titles in Thailand and show some photo examples. I have seen some of the above documentation but I didn't photo copy at the time. All these land title exist in Phuket real estate market. The smart investor will want to buy land that has an upgraded title to Chanote status.

Bringing Western Values to Thailand

More and more westerners are making Thailand their home. We all bring with us our own set of core values deeply rooted from our upbringings and the societies from which we come. They are the rules by which we live our lives; the ideas and moral guidelines that govern our actions and decision making process. We do not all have the same set of values but anyone values we hold, the likelihood is they are separate to those held in Thailand.

Many ex-pats in Thailand are the breadwinners for their families, own their own businesses or are employed in management positions. We therefore often find ourselves in a position of authority or sway over Thai people. This leads us to a dilemma. To what extent should we impose our own set of western values onto the Thai habitancy over whom we have influence?

Phuket Thailand

I greatly respect and enjoy Thai culture. I happily embrace many of the values of my new homeland. However, I also have my own set of values and I cannot leave them all behind just because I am now in Thailand. Many of them are too deeply entrenched in my psyche. Enforcing my set of western values into my life inevitably means also forcing them into my wife's life. My wife is Thai and does not always believe in the same things I do.

A good example of westerners and Thais retention contrasting values is the branch of road safety. Most Thais do not believe in wearing crash helmets or seatbelts. They ordinarily do wear them but they do so to avoid a police fine rather than for the sake of safety. Westerners generally accept that protection precautions are a good idea. We may not like our governments enforcing them on us by law but still we believe in the principle of taking protection precautions.

It is easy to understand the reasons for this divergence in outlook. Thais are fatalistic. It is part of their Buddhist religion. They believe that what will be, will be. If something is going to happen then it will happen and there is dinky you can do about it. In the west, we believe in controlling our own destinies. We believe our actions have implications that will sway future actions.

So we have a inherent cause of contention. I know some ex-pat westerners who will not start their car until all their passengers have put on their seatbelts. I know others who will not take pillion passengers on their motorcycle unless they wear a helmet. These are not only generally held western protection ideas but also laws of Thailand. But still these westerners are forcing their values on Thais who do not hold the same values. We are arrival to their country and forcing them to act like us. Is this right?

I have no doubt that our western outlook is the right one on this subject. I am sure most accidents are avoidable and if not you can at least take protection precautions to reduce their impact. However, that is not the point. It is not a question of who is right or wrong but either it is right to force western values on habitancy in our host nation who do not believe in them. One of my moral beliefs is that it is wrong to force my beliefs on other people. So I take the attitude that if habitancy want to ride in my car or on my motorcycle without taking protection precautions then it is their choice.

But what if you are responsible for that person's safety? What if that someone is a child?

When we had our first child I assumed we would buy a baby seat for the car. It is what we would do in the west. My wife was surprised when I suggested we go shopping for such an item. Why would we want to strap our baby into the back of the car? She would hold the baby while I drove.

I still believed a baby seat was a good idea so we went shopping. Of course, you will not find baby seats in most Thai shops. They are something most Thais would not think of buying. We went to look at the choice in Robinsons group Store. They were costly and they all needed rear seatbelts to attach them. Our car does not even have rear seatbelts so as well as buying the baby seat we would also have to get the car modified. At this point I suitable we would not buy one.

I still believed we needed one but it was just proving too hard working against the Thai reliance that we didn't. Even the sales girls agreed it wasn't necessary.

There are many ways that westerners settling in Thailand bring parts of their home country's lifestyle with them. In Phuket we can get western style houses, furniture, kitchens, appliances and satellite Tv. I love Thai food and in our household we eat Thai food most of the time but still sometimes I want to eat western food. That will never be a question in Phuket.

There is nothing wrong with building your own dinky piece of home in your new country if that is what you want. The question is when your home values start invading the lives of Thai habitancy who do not want them.

Western culture is very invasive. We see western fast food outlets popping up all over Thailand. High profile advertising campaigns make them seem trendy and piquant ignoring the fact that the food is not as good or nutritious as the local fare. The supervene is lots of dinky fat Thai children. New 7-eleven convenience stores are popping up in every neighbourhood while the local Thai grocery stores close. The Christian religion has a history of vigorously promoting itself in non-Christian countries. The United States has a procedure of promoting 'the American way' across the globe.

We seem to have an ingrained reliance in our own rightness. We do not of course accept other nation's cultures or values. We expect them to convert to be more like us. It is an issue about which we need to be truthful when living in other culture. We do not need to lose our own identities and values but we do need to find a way to combine them into our lives without smothering the local culture or offending local people.

When is the Best Time to Visit Phuket?

If you're mental about a trip to Phuket then you're probably wondering when the best time to visit the island is. It all comes down to what you're after. Depending on when you pick to visit Phuket, you could end up battling it out with the locals in a water fight, sitting alone on a secluded beach or caught in the middle of the annual torture fest.

By far the most inspiring time to visit Phuket is while Songkran, which is the Thai New Year. What was once a customary gesture of pouring a limited water on one other has morphed into the world's most intense water fight. It goes on all over Thailand and the islanders in Phuket give it all they've got.

Phuket Thailand

If you don't like getting wet, don't even bother going outside. Songkran takes place April 13 to 15, with April 15 being the big day for the water fight. It's crazy. Habitancy line the streets all round the island, armed with water guns, buckets and hose pipes. Some Habitancy ride colse to in the backs of pickup trucks normally with a barrel or two full of water. Patong is where the action is wildest and the madness goes on well into the night. Everyone plays: locals, foreigners, men, women, young, old. It has to be seen to be believed.

For something totally out there, you have to check out the Phuket Vegetarian Festival. It's like nothing else you will ever experience. Entranced men and women (maa song) are said to feel no pain as they walk colse to the streets with their cheeks pierced with needles, knives, spears and all kinds of inspiring objects. If you're squeamish, give this one a miss. The festival happens every year in October.

The festival is also a great time to go veggie and you'll find that most of the local restaurants strike meat from the menu. Get yourself a map and travel to the Chinese temples to see ceremonies and other curiosities. On the last day, head to Saphan Hin, where the festival climaxes with Habitancy lining the streets and throwing firecrackers into the road as the maa song walk the final procession through Phuket Town.

Chinese New Year is also a fun time to visit Phuket, especially if you're a fan of Chinese food. The festival isn't quite as inspiring and glitzy as in Bangkok, but it's still worth seeing if you happen to be in the area. It takes place in February.

New Year's Eve in Phuket is best enjoyed in Patong. Everyone heads down to the beach before midnight to watch the magnificent fireworks display. Road sellers all the time have a variety of fireworks on offer, although due to most Habitancy being drunk, these often end up shooting into crowds of bemused onlookers, so watch out.

Of course, if you just want a quiet holiday, the best time to visit Phuket is from May to October while low season when visitor numbers are way down but the island is still just as beautiful.
