reggae77 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 My fianc'e and I have bought land in Thailand and wish to build a home. I would like to know if I can build this house myself or would this be illegal without a work permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahmburgers Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I've built in Chiang Rai. I believe in the city limits you're required to have some permit/inspection activity. I built outside the city limits, so I had none of that. I'm a former California builder, so everything I did was much improved over Thai standards anyway, including proper septic, all wires in conduit and grounded, plumbing vented, tall doorways, stem wall foundation, everything well drained, ceilings insulated against heat (false ceiling tiles have zero insulating properties), everything bug/rot/fire proofed, etc. Contact me if you want.
