112 million, not 120..

no being asked as the answer is in the article:

built more than 30 years ago. Its concrete foundations were heavily damaged by the severe flooding in 2011

So I made a little error. Big deal. 8 million is just chump change to this government. Besides, there'll be a discount for building the houses for the have-nots. Can still build 120 with 112 million.

 

I'm sure that those in the north east with water up to their roofs will be ecstatic upon hearing this news.

further proof that these boys plan to stick around in control here for a very long time.

And proof of how much money they are taking (stealing) left and right flowing in their pockets . I like the post of neeray , let them build not 120 1milj baht houses but about 600 200k baht houses to house poor family's i think they can build quit a nice house for 200k baht doesn't have to be a palace just big and strong enough .

I thought so little, they rewarded me
By making me the Ruler of the Kings Navee!

I really do hope the Thai people wake up one day and vote with a little more thought as to the outcome of their actions!

One Day that river will flood again and his house will be gone..

The residence-cum-guesthouse-cum-VIP-division will feature a deep-river port so the three China-made submarines can berth there.

The subs will be parked there permanently (an aircraft carrier in Sattahip springs to mind)  as Apinan Poengsrithong and his cronies will be entertaining the enemies until they do not represent any danger anymore. 

Keep up the good work; unclear remains only, what the air force will have up its sleeve to retaliate in style for their VIP-accomodation. Also not clear yet is, how to explain it to all those grannies in Northeastern Thailand, who live far below the minimum income level without running water while nursing their grandkids as their kids are busy in Bangkok; some of 'em entertaining most likely as pretties in befitting VIP environment ????

Absolutely. The election was obviously not fair, but the most disappointing thing was the huge number of Thai people that supported them. A military should never be ruling a country in 2019. It is mental. 

112 mln B ( say 3.8 mln USD) may sound like a lot of money (especially is one does not have it in the bank) but could be cheap, who knows.

How many SQF/SQM are being built and
does it include F&F, Furniture, Landscaping, doors and windows, a puddle or a lap pool etc. ?

if built 11.200 sqm it is cheap, if 2.240 likely more luxurious.

as a reference, a USA hotel room costs turn key and excluding land between 75.000 $ and 600.000 $ to build, for budget and luxury respectively. 
so say 3000$ (or about 100.000 B) to 10.000 - 15.000  $ (300.000 - 450.000 B) per sqm.

Now, let's consider again whether the 112.million construction is expensive or cheap ?

No doubt the eldest son / breadwinner of this family will be liable for conscription, thus plunging them deeper into poverty!

Any normal, modern nation - any democracy doesn't really have VIPs. When the president of the USA travels he often stays in hotels. Everyone stays in hotels even Arab princes.

 

I've got the from signage all taken care of:

When they wake up, I doubt they will bother with voting!

Military is in charge now, so they can buy whatever they want.

Wonder if Bangkok Bob will get an invite?

Thats a bit odd as the walls are too close to the building to be secure. Nice design though. 

So now the Thai navy will have its own 'Admiralty'?

Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson would laugh his fokking socks off!

They will be around as long as the state coffers still have some THB.....when the country will be bankrupt, they will step down....

I take issue with you posting a picture of my estate (Baan Farang Kee Nio) without permission.

A disgrace from a discredited unelected bunch of jack boots who dont just ignore the impoverished and homeless but conspire to make their life worse and humiliate them. SLORC by another name.

I totally agree with you. 200K would build some very ample shelter. I was only using 1 million as a point of reference as I am personally aware of a "townhome" purchased for that amount (by a lady friend).
