Why Taiwanese pick Chon Buri
Pattaya/Sriracha/EEC are foreigner-heavy zones with distinct Japanese/Russian/Chinese communities.
Main Taiwanese segments we see here: long-term investors · retirees · digital nomads · expanding business owners.
Typical holding structures in this province: personal-name condo or 30-year lease with registered usufruct.
Legal & ownership structure for Taiwanese
Taiwanese have no special land-treaty; the standard Thai framework applies.
Condos: foreigners may collectively own up to 49% of the saleable area — some buildings in Chon Buri are already full; we verify before any deposit.
Land: no direct foreign ownership. Options are 30+30+30 long lease, usufruct, superficies, or a Thai Limited Company (49% foreign + 51% bona-fide Thai).
