A very good question, unfortunately, TiT (This is Thailand) and there will be as many answers as there are districts (actually as many answers as there are planning officers). It very much depends where you live, out in the sticks you could probably do any of what you say with no problems, in a major conurbation you'll need permission for everything except, probably, the gardening stuff, in a village half way between the two. If you live in a moo-baan development you may even need to get permission for the gardening as well So, a visit to your development office / head man / Tambon office with your plans in hand is required.

merryweather Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Thanks for the welcome and the reply. I had a feeling it wouldnt be a simple answer but to have a contract and drawings etc for even the smallest jobs would make it difficult to make improvements to a property. we'll try and see cheers M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 When we built our house in Isan i asked the builder about permits, he thought that i had gone of my head. He said '' Its your land, if you want to build a house, why do you want to ask anyone else ?'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuestHouse Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 A good post and I hope someone can come up with a definitive answer. The last thing any of us want is to be caught having broken a rule after having spent a fortune on building. Thais might get away with such things, but the cash cow farang? I doubt it very much.
