You are looking at ballpark 20 - 22 K per sq/m now depending on specs!

Was looking to do a 'lane' for swimming rather than a play pool in which to wallow.

 

Would 3m x 20m seem a good size?

 

I am assuming you have a good handle on these things.

Mmmmm...thanks for that.

 

We are just putting in water filtration, pumps etc for the house......can any of this double up for the pool to cut costs?

To save looking at things of no interest why not Price increase imminent on swimming pools instead of just Price increase ?

Plus the running costs will be triple of what your house are .

An expensive luxury

Beginning to look at it in that light........????

As I have made it for myself with my backyard experience it was 1/10 of the cost lately here publicised. Hence, now, as per the latest scare, it will be 1/20 (or 1/30?).

 

And the running cost even lower, the workmanship of myself is cheaper and cheaper (actually, no pay at all)...????

Rubbish.

Yes you have extra costs of course.

Do you live in a house of 40, 60, 80 sq/m?

 

My waterfall is still free and I pay a few hundred a month for gym with pool so best deal I guess. Just the swimming pool maintenance guy I once had at a rented place cost me double that.

Total living area 280  square meters , presently working on 100 square meter addition .

I would like to have a pool yes , but the extra in rent required  i believe would not be easy to recover having a pool . 

Only real benefit would make rental more attractive 

Rubbish is often recyclable i may add

Pools always were a ruddy great hole in the ground you put money in anyhow.......????

Busy enough without trying to scare up work! Bahahahaha

 

I'm not as rich as you people appear to be ! The estate we live has the pool in the cost of the bins each month, only 300 baht - or 10 baht a day. Think it better to use the free one than build my own !

I once stayed at "Resort V" in Huai Khwang in BKK. Great pool. Simple, not very deep, just for swimming laps and relaxing. Always thought something like this would be nice for the house.

Better to put in a hot tub for sex, then just use a local pool for swimming, 40bht a swim.

That would be about right, depending on optional required features. Overflow pools will cost more. Pools in remoter areas will cost more too - this is the disadvantage for expats who built their house in their wife's vilage in Isan and now want a pool!

In remote areas in wife's village it can come much cheaper as the wife's cousins are not so expensive as 5-stars professionals with 50 years experience. 

 

To make such a simple basin for 5 minutes splashing once a week is not so difficult as to build a new World Trade Centre, is it?

I suppose you would visit a Whitchdoctor instead of a Profesional doctor or Naturapath because the former will charge you 100 baht as apposed to 800 baht?

Grow a brain!!! ????

It has to be really a good feeling to swim once a week in 2M pool - and it brings much more to one's health - what's the most important for old people - than in a simple basin that does not need a special professional maintenance with a lot of chemicals, a dernier cry of glass sand and every 5 - 7 years a re-tiling.

 

And for the saved money the wife in Issan can be pursued and forced to buy for herself another diamond ring, or at least a new Benn...
