we built ours in hua hin about 6 years ago at a cost of 12k / m2.  nice finish too, with good euro kitchen and plenty marble counter tops etc.  big euro PVC windows, boontavorn floor tiles, cpac concrete roof tiles, jotun paint, large bath tub etc etc

 

plans drawn up by an architect from the orbitor was only 7,000 baht (we were quoted 150k from a farang architect!!)

labour was 4,000 baht per m/2, paid in small installments - all the materials we resourced ourselves.

 

a few headaches, but overall a very rewarding experience - plus the house still looks great

Jase, any chance you kept the builders details or name? We are looking to start building in Hua Hin soon, cheers

I'm in a similar situation, I live in Isaan and planning to move near Hua Hin in 2 years. It will be far from the in laws. But im moving so my daughter can make friends with English speaking kids and have a better education. If it's best for our daughter then its best for everyone. I'm the main bread winner so I where ever I go people follow. I'm like the pied piper. Good luck with the move!

Thanks guys.. I thought I had to fly in for some reason. That's great news, I can drive to the border then drive home same day.

I am based in Khon Kaen on a non o marriage Visa. I have been leaving the country every 3 months for the extension as it was from Suvannaket without 400k.

The Non O expiry is August 5. I flew in on June 18 and the last stamp says i am permitted until September 15.

My question is: If I go over the border to Vientiane and fly back into Bangkok on August 4th, will they stamp my passport until November 4th.. Essentially giving me 3 more months?

Thank you!

Also, would i need to stay a night in Vientiane?

Many people do this and similar things. Most keep it low key and don't submit posts on Thai Visa about it.

RIP mate.

Few extra "short times" does the trick.

You can get cheaper rates at Sea Pines + nice view... Some nice courses in Hua Hin as mentioned above, pricey though!

Can you elaborate on the 17 months pls? I'm currently on the same Visa, ending 5th August 2016. How can I get longer on it? Cheers!

I got the Sharp EO 42K, works a treat.

From my experience having any money saved or not isn't a big issue, they'll be more interested in who's sponsoring her, you being the best option, someone in the family (uncle) maybe ok. A solid work history with proof goes a long way + a reference / confirmation from the employer. I think if the employer is a reputable company / organisation this also helps. 2+ Years full time employment would be advisable.

Pls update on the outcome..

If you like a bad tasting latte that's always half full try Amazon.

I did tourist visas for 3 years, had to change border crossings and sometimes go into Cambodia for a few days. I was told something similar once but from Thailand not Laos, the guy was probably confused. But if you continually use the same country / border problems can arise. Mix it up and you'll be fine.

Just buy a knockdown, then she can burn it down easier. You butterfly.

Leave, then visit once a year, let your wife go home as she pleases. If they disrespect you like that then it's time to cut your losses and skedaddle.

Or pay the 2500 baht overstay fine at airport.

Safety no.1 for me. All the inexperienced drivers and sparks i see flying out of the power points.. It's a constant struggle to stay alive in this town.

Go elite or find a wife.

The only way you will get caught working online here is if someone dobs you in. Careful how much personal info you give on this forum, there are a few guys that act like they work for immigration.

They moved their advertising budget online.

lol @ the red shirts strike again

Those wrist bans should only be worn on pub crawls.

I've seen Thai people give money to beggars, think it's the same as any country. It's a numbers game like anything, a few hundred people walk past, 1 will give money.

If I have anything spare I will give, especially the ladies holding a baby, get's me every-time.
