Legal Ownership

My question pertains to since I am not Thai I can not legally own the land. If I have power of attorney to transfer the ownership of the land does that give me the same rights as actually owning it? Or can the owner/siblings come along at any given point in time and say "Oh we are taking back the power of attorney and selling the land to someone else or demanding payment of some type since my house is sitting on "their" land". Does the fact that I have POA give me total conveyence and ownership?
