Key points
- A superficies lets you own buildings, structures or plantations on land owned by someone else (Section 1410 of the Civil and Commercial Code).
- It can be for a fixed term of up to 30 years, renewable, or for the life of the landowner or of the superficiary (Section 1412).
- Unless the agreement says otherwise, it can be transferred and inherited (Section 1411).
- It must be registered at the Land Office.
- Foreigners often combine it with a lease or a usufruct to protect a house built on Thai land.
These points summarise the law as set out in our full guide, Superficies en Thaïlande, which is reviewed regularly. The video gives an overview; the written guide is the up to date reference.

Foire aux questions
Can a foreigner own a house in Thailand through a superficies?
Yes. A registered superficies lets a foreigner own the building while the land belongs to someone else.
How is superficies different from usufruct?
A superficies gives ownership of the building on the land. A usufruct gives the right to use and take income from the property but no ownership.
How much does a superficies agreement cost?
Our personalised Thai and English superficies agreement is 3,900 THB.
