This is quoted from pattayagay's weekly update: http://www.pattayagay.com/weeklyreport-jan1506.html

"Although [Khun Pravit Pukasem, vice president of Bangkok Bank, Ltd.] did not get much opportunity to go into the housing issue, he commented in his introductory remarks that foreigners can definitely own a small home on a lot not greater than 1600 square meters, provided they meet certain legal criteria in Thailand."

Anybody know this Khun Pavit personally enough to ask what the heck he is talking about?
