Relocating a structure using a crane or other method
It's certainly worth getting a guesstimate to move the place, but I suspect it would be cheaper to just build a new one. https://www.sanantoniouncovered.com/2014/01/san-antonio-sets-world-record-largest.html

I never really liked the English Electric Canberra (the Lightning was a different beast altogether): - But you really wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this bad-boy, Handley Page, Victor!

One of my attempts got "buffalo", at least it has an "f" and could be found on Thai farms. It also got "female goat", "ferret" and "horsefly".- Something fishy with th electric bills ?
Only if you have a Time-of-Use meter, which most of us don't.- 0.5km Electrical Connection
As an addendum to my earlier post, you will likely end up having to provide poles and wiring from the meter position (wherever PEA provide it) to your home. PEA often have crews who moonlight, have the specialist kit, and are much cheaper than a private contractor. Our poles were installed on a Sunday, by a crew in PEA uniforms and driving a PEA crane truck, the poles are stamped "PEA". Pay the supervisor, cash of course.- 0.5km Electrical Connection
Provincial Electricity Authority - the people who you need to talk to about getting a supply. Find your local office and go along with a Thai speaker and a Google map of your place which includes the nearest power. They will tell you what they can do for you. Don't forget you will also need water which may or may not be available as a mains supply. Time for a bore ???? EDIT See this thread too: -- Something fishy with th electric bills ?
Yes, a different rate for "construction" supplies, about double the regular rate. For a permanent supply you need to pass an "inspection", by the authority. IIRC the meter "type" on your bill should tell you what rate you are on. Alternatively, from your total cost and consumption in kWh you should be able to calculate a rough per-unit rate. If it's over about 6Baht per unit you are likely on a construction supply.- Something fishy with th electric bills ?
Are you still on a construction supply? That's going to be double the rate per kWh of a permanent supply.- In the photo attached... does it mean we have no safety cut functioning in our building.
Certainly, Thailand has no such blanket requirement, but it depends upon the type of wire/cable in use. Single insulated wires need to have secondary protection (conduit), insulated and sheathed cables don't, although they are often run in conduit for concealment over at least part of the run.- Worst Joke Ever 2026
