Most of the paperwork had been done already so we just signed everything. Foreigner can not own property here. Because there is community (50/50) property between husband and wife I had to sign a form that even though I was paying for the property it all belonged to Daeng, my wife.
Don't worry, how I get protected is Daeng signs a renewable lease on the property to me for 20-30 years.
We signed the papers and then we went to our bank, Bangkok Bank, withdrew the million and a half Thai Baht and handed the cash to the sellers. The wife put it in her big purse. They went to their bank and we went back to the District Land Office.
They showed up ten minutes later and we got the recorded title to the property with Daeng's name on the back. They had forgotten the "House Book" so we waited while the misses went to got it. A "House Book" is what shows who lives at that address.
It is now a done deal; the fat lady has sung, so to speak.
We had some breakfast and back to the 
place to see what kind of trouble we can get into next.
When we got home there was a load of cinder blocks for the bathroom walls, another load of sand, several bags of cement and the double bowl sink.
The roof tile guys are at it, one tile at a time. The roof is starting to look nice although the reason for doing it is to make sure it never leaks.
