You shouldn't need to do the chasing of the wiring on the walls - the workmen should do that for you. Much better appearance than exposed wires.
I was quite surprised by the quality of a local builder in what I would call the sticks- it depends on whether you can find a good one. He put in all the points specified in the drawing. PM me if you want more photos.

Thanks rumak,

I live in the sticks so won,t have problems with blueprints
The structure is built already

Hopefully I,ll be able to keep a cool head,
Though I will be adamant on how I want the electrical done.
I speak some conversational thai but this is a different ball game ( I imagine my thai will improve alot)so yes I,ll be relying on my wife.
I do realise its going to be hard work,
But with the right attitide it could be a good experience and learning curve

Just being light-hearted. Apologies if I offended you.
Australians AFAIK are not imperialists.

An Irish electrician supervising Thai electricians. This thread gets better with every post.

I must say I,m enjoying this thread and appreciate all the input.
I hope I enjoy the house build as much

[mention=175128]insiket[/mention] what's your nationality (electrical codes you're used to) and where in Thailand is the house.
 

everything they do with the electric will be totally unacceptable to you. suggest you buy tranquilizers. 

Have it done the way you want it, wiring codes mean nothing the the local farmer come sparkie, but be careful not to step on toes - diplomacy is No1. 
Discuss what you want, how you want it done, get a clear understanding of what is expected, however - it will still be done their way if you let it. 
Good luck. 

Forgot to mention... you stated that you will do the design.  Thais don't use design (that I have seen) so make sure they understand yours.  Otherwise, they are famous (infamous?) for putting only one outlet per room, sharing neutrals, and over-sizing breakers/under-sizing cable, and, if your contract has the builder supplying materials, will go with cheap crap.  Beware.

Unless you are familiar with grinding out channels in the wall, you will most likely not want to do that yourself.  Otherwise, go for it.  Unless you are using a major builder, you are not likely to get a proper installation (same for the plumbing).  Unless you have already paid for it, you really do want to DIY.  And don't be afraid to supervise EVERYTHING being done because it will probably be necessary.

Thanks for your reply,
I would rather do it myself,but I,m wary of overstepping the mark.
I,ll keep up with local codes and be as specific with instructions as I can.
Thanks again

Any help appreciated.

bitcoin.de
in combination with Fidor Bank, Germany.
If buyer and seller using this Bank, any transfer takes only seconds.

Not sure what the problem is. I also had to take a selfie with my passport in hand. Did you do that as well?

Which ID are you using?
I was automatically detected in thailand ( probably with IP address ), but was able to change the country to Germany by fulfilling their registration requests ( passport picture, selfie etc. )

To register an account in BX.in.th is too complicated for me. I got stack with the 2factor authentication and deposit from a Thai Bank.
The customer service was helpful but finally I gave up.
In the meantime I'm registered with an exchange place in Europe and everything went fast and smoothly. All transactions are done instantly !
 

Forget coinbase. I had the same shit experience. 
 
Register with 'itBIT' quickly. Also register with binance and kucoin. 
 
Then wire money to your account wallet with itBIT. Buy bitcoin. Then send the bitcoin to either binance or kucoin. Buy any of the other altcoins with ease. 
 
Coinbase is for babies and a waste of time. You will have pathetic buying limits. They still have me on 2000 max buying limit. I can do $100,000 usd on itbit or more if I want. 

Hello,

I,m trying to register my ID with coinbase.

It won,t let me change country(thailand to European country)Is this because my Ip-address is showing I,m.in thailand?Anyway around this?

Thanks in advance.

Far too quick.apart from a few terrifyi ng moments with the gun to the back of the head.It,s an easy way out.
Life in a thai prison,with the inmates knowing exactly what he is in for is more appropriate for that b@$t@£d
