The Thai government has proposed to increase foreign ownership of condominium projects from 49% to 75%, and extend the land leasing period from 30 years to 99 years. In an interview with Thai PBS World, Praphurut Chatprapachai, a former Democrat MP candidate and legal expert, suggested that the government should develop comprehensive regulations, as he believes these latest proposed amendments could threaten housing affordability in Thailand.
