Government Spokesperson Anucha Burapachaisri said, today (November 8th) after the cabinet meeting that the cabinet has approved to withdraw the proposal of foreign land ownership with options to perhaps bring it back in other forms after study and public opinions in the future.
This comes after weeks of angry public opposition over the idea of allowing foreigners to legally own land even with many requirements and rules. Politicians and activists on all sides of the political spectrum also objected to the plan and several lawsuits had been filed over the proposal.
