Already have the plans. When the soon to be Mrs SqdnGuns gets here, we'll stay for at least 5 years then we will head back to Thailand, the Issan region to be specific. We have plenty of land and buying more, have a huge lot for the house we want to build.

Can' wait................ :thumbs:

I don't know anything about Thailand as far as owning property goes. You say WE own plenty of land. Are you the legal owner.

"WE" own land in the Philippines that I bought but I don't have any legal right to it.

Is Thailand different? Can a American own land there?

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

Same in Thailand as the Philippines.........the "99" year lease. All of the land is in her name, 40 Rai (1 rai = 0.395 acres) and we will be buying more.

We'd like to move back to Scotland in the next 10 years-our son will be grown, and hopefully have his own life going in a good direction and my in-laws will be of the age where they may need our assistance-which I would do GLADLY. They are wonderful people, and deserve nothing but the best life has to offer.

I'd also love to be up north and have a farm. It's been my dream to have one since I was about 8 years old. Maybe some sheep or goats-for wool and milk. No slaughtering. Maybe some pigs too, but they'd have to be our pets.
