saw this in person recently, you can drive with the rear window open but the tailgate must remain closed. Also it has a frunk. The model I saw had a price of 2 million baht. wa.mp4

Just to update this thread, we had someone assess the floor recently and we discovered that a few of the main wood beams that support the floor have termite damage so after discussing options with the family we would rather use the funds to install solar since summer is approaching. Perhaps in the future I'll get to this again.

Thanks All for sharing your advice; I'll be at the house in a couple of weeks and then will figure out which direction to go. I'll keep this thread updated with my progress.

Thanks for the response @sometimewoodworker, what would the dimensions of the ply wood be so I can factor it into my budget? I'm based in Phichit so it seems I'm quite far away from the supplier in Khon Kaen but I'm sure I can a reliable supplier nearby.. Also good info on the formaldehyde risks; I think for my own peace of mind I would purchase something to seal the layer of ply from the flooring to limit exposure.

Hi all, We have a Thai house with the ground floor being cement and the first floor being wood and I'd like to redo the wood floor and make better use of the space upstairs. The floor is not in great shape as it is creaky and uneven in some areas but it is still strong. The wife's family seem to want to refurbish the floor keeping it as it currently is but I feel like it would be better use of our funds to buy some large sheets of wood of reasonable thickness, have them screwed to the wood beneath, and then just have laminate flooring installed. Has anyone done something similar? What are your thoughts? Attached an image of the room as it currently is. Cheers
