So, in the future I have plans to build a bamboo bungalow

[camper star]

Your thoughts. Budget is around up to 6 grand. USD. Location should be about 3 hours NE of Bangkok. My partner will buy the land. What should I be aware of.  Thanks. I don't currently live there, but maintain living quarters in Bangkok. This will be only like a weekend get away from Bangkok. 

 

Thanks

Really, I'd prefer to read something more positive. But thanks.

Difficult to insulate and will waste electricity on Air Conditioning.

Also, very noisy.

You will hear every plane flying overhead.

Roosters will become bothersome.

 

Why not just attach bamboo to some existing concrete structure?

 

 

Bamboo would be good if in a cool and smoke-free environment, with low human population.

It's all in the thought process at the moment, but it most likely to take place since we both like the idea.

Should be doable for B200K,

 

Separate bathhouse?

Bamboo has quite a short life. There are many prefabricated timber frame small dwellings available throughout Thailand that would suit your purpose and would last a lot longer.

Would be ok if there were no neighbours within 100 m. otherwise too noisy - no sound insulation at all .

Authentic vintage sanitation, unlimited opportunities to study entomology any time of day,  sometimes electricity, and neighbors with benefits.

Actually, that is more my thinking.

And a free bamboo hut. Problem solved.

Cement, steel roof struts, standard roofing, sliding glass windows.  Bedroom, bath, small kitchenette.  You can do that for 200k THB. Our guest house is just about like that.

Maybe contact a pesticide company to sponsor your project! No sarcasm!
