Chuckles78 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Anyone know the building regulations for house placement on a plot of land here in thailand? My european neighbour claims my house is too close to his property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 How close is it to the boundary ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelomsak Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I always thought thte lack of laws was the biggest plus building here. I know guys wil come on and tell us about them but I think there are very few. Regulations, what regulations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sappersrest Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I believe it is 1m away from the boundary with no windows, and 2m with windows, that is what I was told when I built my kitchen extension ,however the head man said I could build it closer upon agreement with my neighbours ,which I did. Much has been discussed on this topic previously on this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckles78 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I think I am about 3m from the fence. Other houses in this resort are built also built as close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much has been discussed on this topic previously on this forum Half a metre from the fence for wall without openings (including upper floors). Two metres for walls with openings and building not over 12m high.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckles78 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Thanks for the tips. Are regulations same in all areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 3m ? Tell your neighbor to have a beer and chill out... Less than 1m would be a potential issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 3m ? Tell your neighbor to have a beer and chill out... Less than 1m would be a potential issue 3m clearance are for buildings exceeding 12m height and not higher than 23m - about 5 to 8 floors. ? Note: the edge of balconies is considered the side of the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckles78 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 What about trees hanging over boundaries? Are there regulations to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 What about trees hanging over boundaries? Are there regulations to this? Yes, he has a right to cut anything that is hanging over his property but only the part that overhangs, like the branches As far as the locating the house trogers is correct and is usually covered in the drawings that are submitted to the Tessaban for the building permit and as far as I know that is the only thing that they come out and check before issuing it And yes it is probably one of the few "rules" that are consistent in Thailand. Of course there are always exceptions for those who have "connections" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billphillips Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I did see a post on this subject in "ask the lawyer". You could try a quick search in that section if you need further confirmation but what's been posted already seems to be about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
