Thailand’s land tenure system consists of private and state-owned public land. For private land, there are four types of land titles. A ‘Title Deed’ gives the landowner all rights to the parcel of land. A ‘Confirmed Certificate of Use’ gives the person named in the certificate the rights to use the land, but their rights are restricted to what is outlined on the certificate. A ‘Certificate of Use’ is the same as a Confirmed Certificate of Use, the only difference being that not as many formalities are taken when confirming the owners right to use the land. The last form of land title is a ‘Certificate of Possession,’ which states that a person is possession of a piece of land but doesn’t give them any rights to use the land. Depending on the land title, a landowner may have the right to lease the land to tenants. In Thailand, land tenure is enforced by the Agricultural Land Reform Office which is apart of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives.
