I can't remember where Nong Bua is, but I'm currently building in Lamphun. Do you have the lot/land there? After you do the research petermik suggested, http://www.coolthaihouse.com/forum/ among other sites, you can contact me for a general contractor. We got 3 bids & settled on this guy. His subs do above average work (for standards within these borders).
At 70% completion I couldn't tell ya what we'll have into our build yet. I'm deeply involved & we're not going cheap. Definitely not over the top either. There's a lot of quality, communication & monetary variables.
Depending on how involved you are in the project will determine how much stress you have to suit up for.
If you're serious, the DIY forums here are loaded with invaluable knowledge! I'm grateful to several people here. 
Good luck

Anything more than 10,000 baht per square meter would be expensive in your area.

Google thai house build costs,a lot of info there.......I had a house built down south 2 years ago 120sq.mtres 2 bed 2 bath cost 1.3 million baht,paid builder for labour only bought materials ourselves,aircon was extra 25,000 baht.

What is avg cost to build a home? 2-3 bedroom, living room, 2 bath, western kitchen, carport, aircon every room, tile roof, block wall around house. I understand that prices could vary widely but estimate for a normal house that an expat, American would feel comfortable with. How long to build?

We are heading to Siem Reap for a short 2 night break.

Arrive 11am Fri and depart 3pm Sunday.

Stay at Le Meridian apparently, wife booked it...

Apart from a trip to Ankor Wat, any other must sees in such a quick stay? Recommend restaurants welcome too..

General travel advice for 1st timers ?

Thanks...

I think $30k baht a month is reasonable. $3k baht a month is like $90 US. That wouldn't put gas in tbe car
