Yellow Book

Post by **CDNinKS** » Fri Sep 25, 2009 7:00 pm

Well one thing I find interesting in the part you quoted from Super Joe is:

"It is also evidence that the house is owned by the foreign owner"

This contradicts Nereus who said:

"It is NOT a document of ownership."

Confused again

Just to clarify from my perspective, it does say that in the lawyers process about how to obtain a yellow book but I do not agree with that part, and have posted same on here at least half a dozen times previously to be fair.

To me the blue/yellow book on its own is not a proof of ownership document, it can form part of proof of ownership together with other relevant documents like the construction/purchase contracts, land office registration document and land office tax receipts etc. But ofcourse once you've sold the property on you no longer own it whether your name is still in the yellow book or not. I posted that for the process of how to obtain a yellow book, I should have spotted that statement and commented on it, apologies for confusion. hanks for spotting that CDNinKS

to me the yellow book is nothing more nor less than a proof of residence registered with the Tessabhan
In my experience it has no bearing on purchase leasing or anything else to do with property ownership
I just wonder what the Siam Commercial bank would make of me trying to claim ownership on my wifes mortgage and waved my yelow book at them
The fact that i have paid every single last razzooo on it doesnt seem to make any difference at all LOL LOL
My first yellow book was a tin shack by the railway tracks

you may get the blue book on the land only if you present drawings etc.
Yeah exactly my experience. Wife takes the land paper for the individual plot, they ask is house finished, she says yes, they issue blue book. Wife does it whenever she feels like it, ie: house maybe 50%, 75% or 99% complete, they never check just issue blue book. When issuing a new blue book they are issue a new house address too, you need this to get permanent water, elec meters etc connected to the house (although I've heard of people 'claiming' to get permanent meters connected without an address???).

Hi SJ

I believe that on another thread you said that when you obtain a blue book for a particular plot/address the blue book was blank of all names. Can you confirm this and that we are talking about Tessabahn Hua Hin?

Yes, they are always blank of any names when she gets them, Tessabahn and outside Tessabahn area.
Don't know if another Thaiowner turning up with additional documentation means they can get their name entered in when being issued with book ?

Just to inform everyone, went to the tessabahn today with documentation to get blue book. They wanted a photo of the place along with a photo of fire extinguisher in the place. Waiting time 2 weeks, they said they would make a visit.

Of never heard of the fire extinguisher requirement and didn't happen with our current two books or previous two books. Is this law or just another arbitrary idea perhaps from some official who's brother owns a fire extinguisher supply store? Pete

I think that's it in a nutshell Sarge! The only other thing a yellow book is proof of is that you own a yellow book!

A visit?

My wife has a blue book and I have a yellow book. We don't own a fire extinguisher and were never visited (except by a few aliens).

We did not need a fire extinguisher, but my neighbour, who lets bungalows, needed one for each bungalow.

Ok Ok Ok, just been back to HuaHin and got the wife to dig out the book, and the cover is Blue (I asked her where the Brown one went and was advised it was changed when they did the formalities about a year ago now).
So if my understanding is correct, now i need to get my passport certified by the UK Embassy (I guess then getting a Thai translation) before taking to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get legalised.
What i don't understand is what is the documentation related to my parents that i require to also have - what should it contain?

Documents required:
1. Passport copy certified & legalised
2. Parents documentation - certified & legalised
3. Directions to house location
4. Picture of house
5. Picture of Fire extinguisher???
6. Copy of Blue Book

Once i have all the above documentation, then i can move forward to the Tessabahn and make my application for the yellow book. Please advise if my understanding is correct.

Hi sjpthsuk,
Never actually done the yellow book thing so can't be specific about that, but every time we have registered a lease at the land office they required the lessees parents details. What they wanted was the names and last known address for both parents of each farang lessee, irrespective if still alive.

They wanted it in English and the Thai transliteration(!?), and accepted it just hand written on a single piece of paper. Was best described to me as a 'proof of parentage' document rather than a next of kin thing. No proof was required however.

As I say this is for registering leases so may be different, try asking at the Tessabahn.
