I clicked the inquiry email link and nothing happened

This is expected — mail scanners open the link automatically before you ever click it, so the link itself does nothing. Open the confirmation page from the email and press the button on it; that button is what actually confirms your inquiry.

Can a foreigner buy a condo in Phuket in their own name?
