Cool, now scrap the masks pls.

Baht. I'm paying only for work. Everything else I'm supplying (not only ceramic tiles, even small stuff like glue, nails etc.). Guys just come in the morning and there is pile of sand, cement, bricks, window and I tell them to take down old wall and put up new wall with that window inside. I think you cold build 500,000 baht house this way easily, but something like 700,000 Baht would be much better budget, as you could really buy good stuff.

No, concrete road. With water, electric and optic internet. I think you could built the walls, roof etc for 350K. But not the entire house. Lets speak just ceramic tiles - floors 40,000 bath, 2 bathrooms 20,000 Baht, kitchen 20,000 Baht (excluding work!). Not even talking stuff like shower heads, toilets, sinks .... .

2 months ago I bought this for 750,000 Baht. I already changed all windows, redesigned/demolished/built indoor walls, new ceilings, new floors, new bathrooms, new kitchen etc. I think I put another 300,000 Baht in renovations into it to put it up to European standards. About to move in. So about 1,1M + about another 100,000 Baht in the future to make garden/carport etc. I'm going to live there full time, but in the future I think I will also buy some 1M - 2M apartment somewhere near beach and will live 50/50 Isaan and beach.

I would add to iternary Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang. Not very far from your route. And it could a highlight of the trip, as in these places is actually something to do and something to see, other that broken 3rd world communist country. 500cc should have no problem of entering Laos (with 300cc I was allowed to cross, but I was told at border next time to come with bigger bike, as low cc bikes aren't allowed to cross) Don't forget to drive on right side of the road. ????

Scooters are for girls. ???? Men drive real motorcycles.

I bought Toyota Hilux, because it's what everybody drives here, easy to buy exact second hand model, easy to find parts, easy to find people who can fix it, easy to sell... . If you're into cars and want Chevrolet go for it. Otherwise I think it's not worth a headache, especially if you see car just as a thing to get you somewhere or transport something.

Looking at the internet and thinking out of box, leg shortening starts at $12,000. ????

As a foreigner I can inherit house + land. But I would have to sell it within 1 year. And I'm looking fo a lawyer in the area that could draft this will.

I would like to my wife wrote a last will where I would get the house. Can you recommend somebody in Sakon Nakhon/Nakhon Phanom area who could help? (+/- 100 Km/Miles) Main issue is to them being able to speak English.

I find it quiet pointless to watch, if you know the outcome... .

In my life I have only painted nice walls. And this time my walls in entire house are quiet a mess and I'm lacking experience here. Will the standard primer + color hide this? There was a lot of renovation done + there is a lot of kids drawing on some walls. Or should something else be done before primer + color?

Me and my wife went to land office. They printed out their standardized template which said something like "I give lifetime usufruct over this property to FrederikKitten" which we both signed (2 copies). And they printed on the back of chanote "lifetime usufruct to FrederikKitten". However they didn't give us copy of signed usufruct (they kept both copies). We got only updated chanote. Isn't it weird, shouldn't we have at least copy of usufruct so we know what is our agreement about?

Does it tingle when you lick both wires at the same time? ????

"Checking" means paying 200 Baht and they taking a photo that the car was physically there. There is no "checking" of the state of car involved. At least in our Isaan provincial city. Really no big deal if you're worried about that. About number of years I can't help.

I have found out there are 3 types of floor ceramic tiles - smooth tiles, un-smooth tiles and real anti-slip tiles. For bathroom I bought anti-slip tiles of course. But for the rest of the house I'm not sure if to choose real anti-slip tiles or just go with regular un-smooth tiles. Because anti-slip tiles feel really hard on foots. If I were to wear to a socks I have felling like they could almost get caught on anti-slip tiles. That's how rough they seem. Does anybody have experience with anti-slip/un-smooth tiles in the entire house?

Half year ago guy in our village macheted his wife to death after coming home and finding her with a different guy at his own house. It was actually second time - first time he said if it happens again, he will kill her. This time he did. Guy spent 1 week in jail, then was released and that was that. Because wife's family said it was her fault anyway and there would be nobody to take care of the children. ???? Guy is walking free ever since. He is even my relative somehow, like my father in laws brothers son or something.

I like this simple one color thing. I'll do this.

Today I was in 2 Global houses, ThaiWatsadu, Homepro...like they have a lot of ceramic tiles. But how do I pick the right ones, the pattern, color? I need some tiles for floors in entire house and especially for 2 bathrooms - which is even more difficult, because bathrooms consists of multiple different tiles put in patterns, lines, stripes... . I'm no designer. I have absolutely no clue what to buy. If they at least had some sample bathroom walls that I could pick from, that would be simpler, but all they have is single tiles in shelves. What am I suppose to do with that?

I'm just finishing renovation of house. Each room (bedroom, living room, kitchen ... ) used to have a single fluorescent tube. I'm keeping one light per room. But what should I use as a light? Could one 5w-10w LED bulb in some fancy light cover do it? Or stick with tubes? (not very nice looking in my opinion) I have no idea about lightning, if you can recommend light type/wattage/kelvins, so I can easily buy it, that would help. I prefer low cost per month and nice look, don't care much about initial cost.

Jesus, are you getting ready for a zombie apocalypse in this building? Btw in left corners of property you can still see a little bit of grass, maybe call the roof builders to finish it?

No idea. To me it seams safer from Lazada - you have time to read the specs of the SIM, no possibility of miscommunication or some Trueshop employee trying to sign you up to who knows what package.

I have 1700 Bath / year / unlimited from Lazada from True. Works great anywhere, great speed, even when power outage or while driving in car. Easy to create a hotspot in phone and share internet with other people. I'm very happy with it. If you order it from Lazada you have to still go to True shop first and register SIM card with your passport, 2 minutes top.

I was just doing door shopping over the weekend - doors like that go for a 600 Baht in Global House.

Each chinesse seller on Lazada has like 10 different account with exact same stuff. And if they make price mistake they won't send it to you, they will just cancel your order.
