Section 1316
Statutory text (Thai original)
ถ้าเอาสังหาริมทรัพย์ของบุคคลหลายคนมารวมเข้ากันจนเป็นส่วนควบหรือแบ่งแยกไม่ได้ไซร้ ท่านว่าบุคคลเหล่านั้นเป็นเจ้าของรวมแห่งทรัพย์ที่รวมเข้ากัน แต่ละคนมีส่วนตามค่าแห่งทรัพย์ของตนในเวลาที่รวมเข้ากับทรัพย์อื่นถ้าทรัพย์อันหนึ่งอาจถือได้ว่าเป็นทรัพย์ประธานไซร้ ท่านว่าเจ้าของทรัพย์นั้นเป็นเจ้าของทรัพย์ที่รวมเข้ากันแต่ผู้เดียว แต่ต้องใช้ค่าแห่งทรัพย์อื่น ๆ ให้แก่เจ้าของทรัพย์นั้น ๆ
Verbatim from the Royal Gazette / Office of the Council of State
English translation
If several movables belonging to different persons have been joined in such matter that they become component parts or indivisible, the different persons become co-owners of the composite thing, each person's share being proportionate to the value of his thing at the time of its being joined with the other things. If one of the things could be regarded as the principal thing, the owner becomes the sole owner of the composite thing, but he must pay the value of the other things to their respective owners.
