bbigman21 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I am looking for a house or some land to build a house in in the mountains. I guess I need a lot of input. Things you have went through stuff you would not do again. I want something nice but I do not want to go over four mil. Baht. To sum that part up I guess I want a lot for a little. Also I need advice on ownership, loans for farang in Thailand, Taxes, And other expenses I will incur doing to my physical affliction(farang) So let er rip!

simon43 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 There are no mountains in Phuket - only hills. Is this what you mean? Also, don't forget the 80 metre altitude rule - you cannot build higher than that (I think), unless you pay the right people! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware there are no universal rules for classification, but there are heights in excess of UK and USA specification. In fact Phuket comes from the Malay "Crystal Mountain". You are right however that you can only build on a hill up to 80 metres above sea level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Well, I thought there were 'mountains' in the UK of about 3000 feet or more. Show me something that high in Phuket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me something that high in Phuket Nothing at 3,000 feet, but there are those above UK and US limits of 1,000 feet. Sorry to harp on, but my Geography Prof. gave me a phobia about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Burr Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 [in fact Phuket comes from the Malay "Crystal Mountain". Incorrect. Phuket comes from the Malay word "bukit" which simply means hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
