Popular Post Tropicalevo Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 The negative stories are probably from disgruntled, theorist, bar-stool lawyers that post negative things about Thais and Thailand. Foreigners all over Thailand carry out DIY work on their own property without being gaoled or fined. It is only a problem if you get paid for it. Go for it! 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soondae Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Absolutely, even you can use external contractors to remodel your condominiums. I just finished remodeling my villa in Udon Thani with no issues other than you need to notify the complex of what you are doing and the contractor needs to follow their rules as far as hours worked, ( I believe they register with the villa complex) etc.... Same went for my condominium remodel in HH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MangoKorat Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 (edited) There have been reports of people being fined or threatened with being fined for working on their home. I've never had a problem and I'd suggest that if you do, you refuse to pay any fine and opt for a court hearing instead. If such reports are true and many are questionable, its almost certain that the 'offence' was just another police scam. I'm pretty sure that you won't hear any further on the matter bu if you do, contact a Thai lawyer. The Thai labour laws are there to protect Thai jobs, not to stop people carrying out DIY on their homes. DIY is not an occupation but note it does not have to be paid. I think you would be on thin ice if you carried out or helped carry out any DIY on a friend's house for example. I fitted a shower in an ex's house - wiring, plumbing and waste. I'm pretty sure I broke the law when doing that, I just never thought about it at the time. Edited April 22 by MangoKorat 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, there actually are some villas in Thailand, in fact a complete Italian village - not far from my villa (house) 😁. Not sure if the tower leans though 😁. Its actually quite a sight as you pass by and see an entire Italian village on the hillside. You can be forgiven for wondering if someone slipped something into your drink last night.
