Thaicoon Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Grand looking place Thaicoon. Difficult to give an estimation on total cost as we can't see the internal finish and that can more than double the cost of any build. I would take a guess at 3,900,000 Baht for the basic build cost. This doesn't include A/C's, imported kitchens, elaborate built ins etc.... Is that close?Love these homes with natural water features. One thing that puzzles me though is why do people want their garage so far from the house? Maybe I'm lazy but if it's raining and we're just returning from a big shopping trip I want to be close to that front door.... Is there a reason for the stand alone garage being there? All inside is top notch, it would be rude of me to put pics of the inside on this forum, as not my house, one thing about my mate he has all the best materials and finishes, all air conditioned real nice wood staircase with gallery landing, real nice place, the cost he told me was 3 million baht, as it is in the pics, brilliant deal, looks big but only 3 bedroom. My place cost me about 2.5 million 10 years ago when the baht was as high as 90 to the Pound, my place has 5 bedrooms. Thaicoon, What area is that house in? It's beautiful. Any idea what he paid for the land and how much it was? The house is about 20k Outside Buriram, he has 3.5 rai of garden and another 9 rai behind of rice, it is in a nice spot, but to far out of town for me, not sure what he paid for the land, but was not big bucks, it is all down to Location, Location. further you are in the sticks, cheaper the land.

Monkeypants Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Great selection of all types of homes. My favourite so far is Monkey Pants as it's so hard to imaging getting a house built anywhere for 600,000 Baht. Especially of 160m!! Great deal for the money. Is that a lake or a river in front of your home? I always fancied a home right on a river...... It's a 1 rai lake/big pond. Great for fishing in. Yes I got a good deal on the house, Did all the sourcing of materials myself and employed local labour. Very cheap, and a decent size home that suits are needs.

It's for sale in one rai at 7.9mn neg. if anyone is interested. Inside is all wood floors except bathrooms and kitchen. Generally Thai Euro rather than Euro. Two bedrooms 4m x 5m. Plenty of space underneath for parking or buffalo or more living space. The OP said one photo only so I won't post loads here.

Bobsyouruncle Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 How about some pictures of our finished houses. Give the others an idea of how farangs actually live over here. A shack or a mansion, don't be shy. Just one representative shot of your dwelling without details of price or location. As they say a picture is worth ... Are those flood lights you have on the wall facing the rice field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those flood lights you have on the wall facing the rice field? We have flood lights for the driveway, front yard and the pond side. Only really use them when we have people over after dark. I prefer to walk the dog in the dark so I can see the stars. There is just enough light to walk around, from the street lights and one on the sala for attracting bugs to feed the fish. Any particular reason for the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they lights? Cheers OKay, now I know what you are looking at. Those are flow-through blocks in the wall around the pond. The first two years we had floods, so walled in the pond. I was worried about the pressure on the wall so put those blocks in, with a mesh to keep the fish from passing through. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsun240Z Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Guys question; I would like to build the house in Thailand by myself, can this cause problems with locals? Any problems in Thailand, with Foreigner building his own place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Again, thanks to McFarang and Bails for sharing your house shots. I find myself wondering what all you guys are looking at from your lovely homes. View was a major consideration for us. Perhaps I will need to start a new thread about what we see form our windows, decks or yards. Not sure if people would be willing to share, however.

villagefarang Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Peter That is the idea. So maybe I should post of few that I took just yesterday from the house, while watching the villagers plant rice. We will see if there is any interest in a new thread.

Crossy Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Great pictures VF If you want I can edit the thread title to include views too (and gardens as well since many of us seem to be in desperate need of a landscape gardener), maybe better than a new thread.
