Thank you, yes I can certainly understand the aesthetic appeal. For me being 185cm tall, my question was for practical reasons. I have found in many Thai built buildings, and indeed in my current rental, the drop floor in bathrooms means the top of the door frame is quite low, meaning I actually have to be careful so I don't bump my head... Whilst my build will not have dropped floors in bathrooms, I do like the idea of taller than normal doors. Cheers!

You've got me thinking now. My ceilings are drawn 3m high throughout, but my doors are all 2m. What was the thinking behind the higher doors, maybe I need to consider this myself for our build...

Very interesting! Did they end up costing much more than off the shelf versions?

Thank you, good to know. I wonder how much heat the Aluminum doors/frames transfer in over the uPVC versions...

Interested to know why you don't like the uPVC?

hahahah I nearly spat out my coffee when I read this!!

Interesting they are using white/grey conduit for electrical, I have only ever seen them use the yellow here for those services...

Would be interested to know who you found in Korat. We are in this area and in the market for aircons as well... Cheers!

This is a total bugbear of mine, I see it everywhere and I hate it. Being taller I can actually hit my head on the lower doorframe in our rental property. Yes I can duck, but why would I want to?! Coudos to you for getting it rectified!

Any plans to collect the water for use in the future? FYI love this thread, its great!

Very Nice! Looking to get some piles hammered in myself, were these guys a private company that you arranged or did your builder manage/arrange them?
