RAZZ Very hard to put a price on building Thai style house all depends on what and how big you build . We are buying old Thai style wood houses and then will take them down and use the wood to build our house . I will post thread for the build Nov time for when work starts . It will be an experience JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post thread for the build Nov time for when work starts .It will be an experience JB I imagine I won't be the only one to follow your build thread. Curious about the design you chose after such rich research. The dig out of the land will start November we will dig out a seven rai 2.5 metre deep lake and two one rai 2 metre deep ponds , starting at the far left of the land going right around both sides and back the property we will dig out another 5 metre wide 2 metre deep water feature . All the soil we take out will be used for a road into the property and landfill for the house . The house plans have been drawn up i have not seen them yet i designed the outlay myself i have a guy drawing up all the details . The design of the house is 4 bedrooms sitting room kitchen laundry room 20 metres wide 15 metres deep we will need a mountain of wood . A good friend on this forum just helped me source 30 big sows that this house will stand on it will be an experience building it . If you look at the website www.baansammi.blogspot.com you will see in the section old rice barns people have used old rice barns and old Thai houses to build a new house .We have been buying old Thai houses for cheap money i got the idea from the above website all the wood from the old houses will be used for the building of the house and my kennels etc etc . I will post up a thread when it all begins maybe people that build the same type of house will learn something from my mistakes . Photos are of the land we bought and will be building the house in .

chownah Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Very hard to put a price on building Thai style house all depends on what and how big you build . Part of the price is deforestation. Even if you recycle old wood just the fact that you have a beautiful wood house makes others want one too and the other people quite often just go cut down trees for their wood house. Part of the price is deforestation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted photos of my wood house during construction in the members gallery some time ago but can't find them now. Cost me around 4 million for the basic build.

Part of the price is deforestation. I have to agree with these comments. That's why I replant 10 trees for every one I cut. I leave previously cut (before my ownership) stumps to grow new trunks as well. Even if it is a little unsightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrislani Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Here is a link to the wood bungalow (one bed), I am having built In Ubon. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrislani/ I am back out there at the end of October and will post more up-to-date and better quality pictures then. The plot is 72m x 22m x 50m x 11m x 22m x 11 in a 'P' shape, if that makes sense. To-date it has cost £7k (inc land, walls, land drainage and the front access) could not remodel a kitchen in the UK for that kind of dosh. To build the Bungalow my builder quoted a fixed price for labour at 70,000 Bht, (a tad over £1k) we buy all the materials. We have been building through the rainy season so progress has been a bit slower than it would normally take and my better half has made a few changes. [As a construction manager for a major construction company here in the UK I can spot a few things wrong, but nothing worth making an issue over, especially as the overall finish is of good quality. Though they need full time supervision to maintain the standards because they soon default to the Thai (easy) way.] C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's many over here, they're small, short haired and suited to the climate. I've heard the English Bullies suffer terribly from mosquitoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
