Months ago we bought land next to each other from 2 different families. We filled out the paperwork at the LO to re-organise the chanotes. We subsequently had to wait several months for their land surveyor to come out and check the boundaries. Back then at the same time we paid the PWA water authority to install 2 water meters. I specifically arranged for both parties to come on the same day because I knew that the PWA team would have a digger machine. We had to use them 2 times to enable access to find the round concrete boundary. All the neighbours were around as well. The surveyors found that one neighbours fences was on our land. Documents had to be signed to say they agree to move it back etc. It was all very friendly and they right away started to move it etc. The village head turned up as well. The district office rep didnt come and I think the surveyor had to go to his office to sign the official document. The broker who sold us the land as the mediator helped us a lot and called up one neighbour who was not around. He also booked the village head. In 30 days time we receive the new chanotes. If the neighbours refused to sign the agreement then it would take a lot longer as theres a process for disputes. Anyways, I hope this helps anyone else who might want to do the same one day in the future.

Im sure you're the life of the party and have many friends.

THanks for your comments. I will 100% have the 150mm R38 insulation batts in the ceiling. Do you think its necessary to also have the 'thermal reflective sislation sheets' under the tile roof?? Or is that overboard? Ive never heard of the automatic vent fan. I googled it and found this: https://atticsandmore.com/types-of-attic-ventilation/ Is this what you are talking about. Or something else. Please give me more information. Regarding positions of water pipes... did you see in the photo of the blue house that its raised off the ground 50cm or so. If I copy this design then theoretically the pipes can run under the house and not be concreted in the actual floor. Is this a good idea? Re your last sentence. 'you'll thank yourself for doing this down the road and it will raise resale value.'' can you please elaborate? Any specific tips are appreciated thanks

Hi, Do you think its necessary to put the thermal reflective sisalation under the roof tiles AND the 150mm insulation bats above the gypsum ceiling??? I think back home both is recommended but unsure here?

why do you want to marry the gf quickly???

6 million. that is HUGE money.... Assuming that was a private hospital? I would go to thai public hospital as Im on the SS system here

Hi, Can I ask re the MBK option.... do they have astra zeneca jab???? thanks

Yes. I decided not to go with that house because of the risk of water entering the roof with the valley roofs

Except that our neighbours dont have our views...

Thanks for your comment. I will have to ask about this. Maybe have to go back to the drawing board... I have never done this before and thus have limited knowledge.

Its a quiet village area. I did think about the reverse but theres too many trees out the back area. I will be reversing into a soi that no one drives on. Its a no through road. And we own the land on the other side as well. The road at the front near the pool area has very minimal passing traffic. Not an issue

Im in late 50s and when frowning I have a lot of wrinkles. Old age is the norm... Was thinking of trying Botox. Cost 15k to 20k. Lasts 4 months. Have you tried it? Good or bad results. Please share your experiences

A lot of them end up working on building sites where accommodation is provided on site

Im not interested in other designs. Please make comment on my design and the chosen house. thanks

I intended to do this for sure.

I prefer large living spaces with high ceilings 4m. Nothing worse than small rooms with low ceilings. It increases potential sale price. Has a good feeling when walking inside.

I dont understand your comment at all?

I was there again this morning and thought the same as you actually. I wonder if I should swap the positions of the proposed ensuite bathroom with the walk in wardrobe. Do you think this is a better idea. Have a door access from the room and a door in the hallway to the bathroom?

My wife and I bought 2 plots of land next to each other with a small soi in the middle. Im planning to build / fund a small guest house on the smaller block and the wife will build a bigger family plot on her larger land. Im limited with options due to the small size of the land which is 60m x 18.3m Photos are attached of the proposed house I saw in a magazine. Its simple modern design. As its only a guest house Im ok with just 2 bedrooms with large living area. 4m high ceilings. Verandahs wrapped all the way around (on the sides only 1.5wide but on the ends 2m wide). Car port at one end. Pool at the other end. The walls will be constructed of lightweight conventional block and the ceiling of metal sheet PU form 3 inches Ive never done it before but theres a plan attached that’s not to scale obviously as I have no idea about all that. If you have any knowledge about this please comment and help me. The only thing I don’t know about is the laundry. The builder Im getting a quote from said he could build a small laundry room at the back of the car port area. Or should I just put a front end load washing machine in one of the bathrooms? Are the sizes of the walk in wardrobe, bedroom and bathrooms enough? The edge of the veranda to the soi road is 1.5m which I realize is not correct as theres a 2m rule. The buider said no worries as theres no passing cars because the road is a no through road. On the other side we will respect the 2m rule. What do you think about this? The neighbouring houses kind of look the same style as this house except they look 60 yrs old and run down. Any positive or negative comments are appreciated thanks

why kill the animals. so cruel

how much money was he chasing? how much did he get in the end?

Actually you are incorrect with regards to the 1st may labor day. Immigration dept is not government and is open. I was surprised to hear this today at my local office.

sounds depressing. WHY on earth would you or any expat want to live there. Im facinated to know...

no <deleted> shirlock. It is an idea presented for the owner should he/she ever be inclined to read the posts set out by randoms like yourself

knock it down for 200k. Clean up the block for 50k. Sell land....
