Lease the land on a long term lease. 

 

Buy 5 of these.

 

 

279,500 Thai Baht and you have a master bedroom. Living room. Reading room and study. Dining room (be in range of Grab and Food Panda) and a big bathroom minus fittings.

 

Brand new home at less than 2,700thb per meter. 

What about electricity, water, sewage etc?

I'd rather go down the "container" route, get bored want to move, stick on the back of a lorry and off you go.

Some amazing places built from containers.

A container is going to last a lot longer and be more secure than one of

those "Tents"

I can't see me persuading Madam Moon to go live in one of those tent things! The container homes look good though. I've seen a few of those in my travels.

Do 120-125 square meters of living space cost 279,500 Thai Baht?

Base cost probably alot less, and its not going to get ruined by a "stanley knife"  ????

The wife has sold bout 5 of these to foreigners who just wanna rent the land. The guys delivers the house & when you want to move, you contact him and he takes it down again. The property is always yours. Regarding sewage and such, all installed in a day at sight and not expensive. ????

 

If you want to quit THailand, she will sell the house for you and get a sizeable portion of your money back. It's a win-win and they look great and are extrememly practical. ????

As appealing as that sounds, imagine the cost to discombobulate, load out, move, spot, and recombobulate the one in your photo.  Probably cheaper to just build a new Thai style concrete house.

 

Of course, if you're taking the house you own off your ex-wife's land...   That's priceless.  Even if you have them leave it at the side of the road somewhere.

 

These are the only homes you can own in your own name in Thailand.  ????

My ideal foreigner ownable Thai home would be one of those floating party barges in Kanchanaburi.  Or one of the many other rivers or reservoirs, but K-Buri would be my first choice.  Modified for living instead of dancing...  Docked most of the time with a power umbilical, but with a generator for boondocking.

 

I'd also go for a liveaboard yacht on a marina, but salt water is hell on everything mechanical.

It looks very nice indeed

just out of curiosity can i ask the price for the model on the photo?

It seems it is a 1 bedroom bungalow, but i could be wrong, there are a bathroom and a kitchen inside? Maybe more models available with differents sizes and prices? (Prices without the transport of course

as i presume it depends of the distance)

Do like the majority of those in remote village life: Steal electric from your neighbor and dump your waste in the canal

Good idea.  Would make for a pleasant lifestyle, also.

Depends on design etc of course, but generally speaking once things are strapped down and services are disconnected about an hour to load on a flat bed using a crane or lorry with Hi-ab.

About the same at new location to reposition onto prepared base.

I used to do that for a living one upon a time.
