Thanks will try & get a copy. Looked it up online, it's only building code near the beach which has been in force for a long time. Looking for code for height above sea level.

churchill Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I believe over 80 Metres Can build 6 Metres in height and 50% vacant over 140 metres same but cannot exceed 90 sq metres in area plus there are also additional restrictions on slope , I think over 50 degrees cannot build ...

oldlady Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm not sure where I should post this question, but hopefully this topic is relevant as it concerns building codes and height regulations. I'm in a bit of a dilemma and am hoping for a bit of advice. I live in Koh Samui very near the ocean. The people who are buidling behind me (still within 200 meters of the sea) have a structure going up that is way over the 12 meter height limitation. I've heard from others in this development that wheels have been greased and that there is nothing to be done about this breech of Land Office regulations. To make matters worse, tons (literally) of dirt have been trucked in to make the height closer to the 12 meters (but even that won't do it as I'm pretty sure the building is about 18 meters high). If the Land Office has been paid off and it is to the Land Office that I would lodge a complaint, then is there any other recourse? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Building permissions are granted by “tesa ban” – not the Land Office. To my knowledge the height of construction is calculated from the land’s zero-level – so it was when I was building – so more dirt may raise “zero”... Depending on zone, you can build 12 meter high within 200 meters from beach/sea; if so-called city-zone, its only 3 meters from water and 2 meter inside own land. A Samui lawyer told me, that it’s better a Thai complains, than a foreigner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
