Where can I purchase a house like this?

[RickNuNu]

I would like to Buy, Rent, Build a home like this in Thailand in a nice peaceful tranquil area. Maybe on a lake or stream, but certainly surrounded by greenery as shown in the picture.

Can anyone tell me where I should begin to look for a home like this with beautiful surroundings?

Thank you!

That looks like hotel accommodation and can be found all around Thailand in scenic locations. Get out and travel around a bit. See Thailand and see how you like living in these one room bungalows. Along the way you may discover a place which is right for you.

These guys may be a start.

You may notice you pay for this style

Thais think they are haunted. To me it just looks like a fire hazard but they are lovely to look at, and I see the attraction.

How do you just assume I have not already "gotten out and traveled around a bit"?, How do you assume that I have not seen many parts of Thailand? How do you assume that I haven't already lived in many one room bungalows and love it?

Thailand is a big place and I asked a specific question about a specific product to help me with my research. You gave a generalized answer based on nothing. Thanks I guess!

[villagefarang]

If you had provided more information it would not have been necessary to assume. At least now I don't have to make any assumptions about your attitude.

So apparently the OP is well traveled, has seem many parts of Thailand and loves one room bungalows. Also seems to know Thailand is a big place with lakes, streams and plants but is not willing to narrow things down to a region or town, which would be helpful.

If you do not care about cost.....call every real estate office located in cities of provinces you like and ask them to get a wood house for you.....may take some time and luck until you found what you like....but

If you care about cost....the best way is to buy a piece of land you like, and later find a house to transplant on it....

Yes..transplant.

You can find old beautiful teak wood houses in wood demolition material yards. If you do like restoration of vintage homes, there many old houses yards in big cities....or

You can get a house plan and find a wood homes contractor...or

Buy a prefabricated wood new home and settled on the lot...

If you are located around Chiang Mai - Lamphun - Phrae - Lampang - Phayao - Chiang Rai areas I may have some info about....

I am an architect...and I like wood houses very much.

Where can I purchase a house like this?

In Thailand!!!!!!!!

[wayned]

Near where I live they build them in a lot on the side of the road. Just pop in and buy one and they will deliver and asssemble it it anywhere you want!

Your response, "get out and travel around a bit" is not really an answer to my question is it?

[SeaVisionBurma]

Flame removed. Lets dispense with the bickering shall we?

[villagefarang]

I give up. Think I will hit the trails on my mountain bike for the next few hours. Much more rewarding being engulfed by hills, valleys, rivers, reservoirs, forests, orchards, fields and village life.

The assumptions are based on the questions you ask.

We hant to help, but there are things we need to know, where are you, where do you want to be, do you like the mountains or the beach, In your travels have you not seen these homes sold everywhere?

Greeen areas are found any place in Thailand, from Phuket to Nong Khai to Chiang Mai

First find the area you want to be based on your interests

Second purchase (with your wife's help of course) a piece of land you like

Third purchase one of these wooden houses, , I have seen several places selling them on the side of the road, on the way from BKK to KKC, I am sure there other places elsewhere.They will deliver and set it up at your property

where to buy the home in your picture: http://www.thai-house.net/english/traditional-thai-wooden-house.htm

[vtjforyou]

On the side road between Nong khai and Udon thani.

Also on the highway beginning when leaving Pattaya.

[RickNuNu]

Thank you all for the information!!

[Hugh Jarse]

Near where I live they build them in a lot on the side of the road. Just pop in and buy one and they will deliver and asssemble it it anywhere you want!

For about 250k Baht for a one bedder plus some extras of course.

[PattayaPhom]

There are a few places arond Samut Sakorn, prices start around 400K for this size without electic and plumbing. Of course you need your land as well.

[ruready4fun]

Wow that's fantastic, I love them

But not for the cheap Charlie

[ajahnlau]

They are around all over the central and north. First would be get the horse-land first.

Jeez, you asked an extremely general question about a 'house' which looks like something you would find in hundreds of resorts around Thailand (thousands if you include the 'hong pak' along the highways) , and then get all prickly when you get a 'generalised answer based on nothing'

Well, you gave 'nothing' in your question, so that's what you can expect in return.

You'll get a more useful response if you give more information in the first place.

Seeing as you have already travelled extensively in Thailand, where do you want to have this 'house'? Do you have Thai friends or family that could help with the ownership issues if you wanted to buy a place like that? Do you know someone who has land where you could have something like that built?

Give more and you will get more.

[RKASA]

You can find the builder, the lands, just outside of Phitsanulok on hwy 12 after wang thong toward LumSuk 40 -50 minutes from city and Central plaza. It will also be half the price of most anywhere South of Phitsanulok - the weather is cooler, the air cleaner and the the water is fine - stay away from the flat lands and get in the hills.

Gee, Thanks Bittfantastic!

Actually 18 of the 20 responses were very helpful. They gave me website links while others gave me specific streets in specific towns, others gave me estimated construction costs and land purchasing tips. And a few sent me PM's with specific homes that family members have for sale.

Apparently only you and one other TV member were not able to answer my direct question but still found it necessary post a response. Some TV members are more interested in pontificating so they can see their own words on the internet rather than actually be helpful to the OP. I guess it makes them feel important or smart?

Next time I post a question on TV requesting information, you may assume that I am not directing the question directly to you, and you can move on to the next topic. You might save yourself some time that way.

But thanks for trying anyways!!

Thank you!! this is very helpful information and it is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you also to all the other who posted answers to my question. I found it to be informative and helpful!!

[bermondburi]

Because he, like you Namm, are more interested in seeing their words on the internet than actually helping people.

Nang, you have 24,888 posts to TV. Did you really provide insightful useful information 24,888 times? Or did you simply insert your comments 24,888 times, as you did here, with no thought or interest in providing insight the original posters questions or comments?

As a retired school teacher I saw students that truly understand the subject at hand and try to provide insight into the topic, and I see others kids that just talk to hear their own words without using the gray matter between their ears. Just because you have 24,888 posts doesn't make you an expert, it just makes you loquacious (look it up).

About 1-1.5m baht. Many companies build these pre-fab wooden houses out of their catalog.

yeah, that's why I did that sonny, to make myself feel 'smart'. Even though you only have a few posts to your name, I'm sure, with your manners, you'll fit right in here. There's plenty of opportunity to jump down the throats of people trying to help you.

Nicely done
