  1. So, any farang football (soccer) in Chiang mai at the moment? I am staying near the old city walls. I have a motorbike and am happy travel.

    As posted a couple weeks back , every Sunday morning at 8 am - 9 am at the football pitch's ( Nice complex or something like that ) halfway between Big C ( Hang Dong) and Global house . I know it's early but we get ok numbers but a few extra faces would be good .

  2. WOW, for that price, it better be "high end". I know it's different costs at different locations. I live in Chiang Mai and you can get a decent high end build here for 15k sq met. You're talking about a 15 mil baht house, did I get that right?

    The estimated cost of building a home in Chiang Mai is reported to range from 5,000-20,000 baht per square meter, depending upon the quality of materials used. For this discussion, let's say 15,000 Thai baht per square meter. Calculations often use the phrase "shell only," and include the sub-floor (but not hardwood flooring), walls (plastered and painted), plumbing (but not sinks, toilets, tubs, or showers), electrical wiring (but no lighting fixtures), kitchen (but no sinks, countertops or cabinets), windows (but no metal security bars), doors, and a roof of standard tiles on a steel frame.

    The overall floor area (in square meters) include bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, closets, porches, patios, carports, basements, etc. but not all of these spaces are considered to be the "living area". A 300-sq meter structure, for example, might include only 200 square meters of "living area" and, at 15K per sq meter, it will cost an estimated 4.5 million baht to build.

    A Chiang Mai architect may charge 5% or 7% or 10% (or more) to design such a home. If 7% is typical, that's 315,000 baht for the architect's house plan. The owner is provided with a book of plans, while the builder uses the larger format "blueprints" and a detailed "BOQ" list of the materials and quantities specified in the building contact.

    Do I have this right? Comments and corrections are most welcome

    For a well designed home with many reviews / changes etc....then yes between 3.5 - 5 % is the norm in CM . For the standard box type home then any were from 5 - 15,000 bt for the plans . Like anything you get what you pay for.

  3. A busy Western managed Construction company in Chiang Mai is looking to add to there team . Thai national with a background in construction / engineering who can calculate bill of quanties ( BOQ) , work with auto cad etc.... . Basic English needed but more importance put in trust , dedication and reliability. Open to male and female .
