Old US Treaty to allow for US Citizens to own property

Post by SunandFun »

I have heard about an old treaty with the US that allowed for US Citizens to own property in Thailand. (Part of the appreciation of the 60's and 70's era) Does any one know if it is still valid? If so where do you go to find out about it? Any "Facts" would be appreciated.
I wouldn't have to manage my anger if people could learn to mange their stupidity!

Are you talking about the Amity treaty? My understanding ( I read it many years ago) is that it is set up for business ownership but not property.
Sorry no firm facts but perhaps a starting point :cheers:

As far as I'm aware the treaty was scrapped many moons ago. Let's just say, don't hold your breath.
