In Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), large-scale land transactions often involve multiple legal and regulatory factors — such as investment incentives, foreign ownership limits, industrial land permits, and government approvals.
With the recent wave of Chinese investment, land values in well-managed industrial parks within the EEC have risen sharply, and premium plots have become strategic assets for manufacturing and supply-chain relocation.
However, these transactions also carry risks stemming from information gaps, cultural differences, and communication barriers. Even a small oversight may affect regulatory compliance or delay project implementation.
To mitigate such risks, a Land Acquisition Due Diligence Report serves as a critical safeguard — not only reviewing documents but also verifying the project’s compliance through on-site inspection.
This week, the Yingke Thailand legal-business team visited an industrial park in Rayong Province (EEC) to accompany a northern China–based manufacturing client during negotiations, due diligence, and document verification for a land and facilities acquisition project.
Such on-site services have become routine for Yingke Thailand over the past three years, reflecting the firm’s long-term commitment to “being present and providing full-process support” for Chinese enterprises investing in Thailand.
The Land Acquisition Due Diligence Report covers nine key dimensions, including:
- Legality and completeness of land ownership and transfer rights
- Existing mortgages, liens, or encumbrances
- Legal access and road connections
- Government expropriation or reservation risks
- Tax compliance and arrears
- Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirements and approval status
- Consistency with EEC or industrial park zoning plans
- Restrictions under construction or special control zones
- Pending disputes or administrative compliance risks
This framework represents the standard practice of Yingke (Thailand) Law Firm’s due-diligence services.
For Yingke Thailand, legal work goes beyond document review — it means engaging directly on site, addressing complex policy and market realities with clients, and delivering professional, practical, and actionable legal solutions rooted in both fact and regulatory logic.
