There is no Thai law that directly prohibits a Thai woman who is married to a foreigner from purchasing land.
This is based on the interpretation of the law, because any property acquired by a husband and wife during marriage is considered marital property, which is jointly owned each spouse having a half share. Consequently , if the wife purchases land during the marriage, the husband is deemed to have a half ownership as well.
In the case where the husband is a foreigner, under Thai law, foreigners are prohibited from owning land, unless they meet certain exceptions and receive official permission. For this reason, in general cases, a Thai woman married to a foreigner cannot purchase land as marital property.
Nevertheless, in case the Thai wife purchases the land as her personal property, it is permissible.
