Can foreigners own property in Thailand?

How can foreigners buy a condo in Thailand?

Foreigners can buy freehold condos if the foreign ownership in the building is below 49%. Funds must be transferred from abroad, documented with a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form (FET). A lawyer is recommended for due diligence and title transfer.
