eyecatcher Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I will tell you the real cost. If you had patience you will lose it. Your sanity, thats going also Marriage...well if you survive it you will be lucky. Your trust and confidence in so called builders....that will go within a week. On a positive note, if you are overweight the pounds will drop off you quickly and relative to stress. If you are already slim, prepare to look 20yrs older. That was my experience, i reckon many others also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman20 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 If you are a farang living in pattaya with a nice parcel of land in a nice up market village they quoted me more than it would of cost me in the UK Ozz or USA. Ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my experience, i reckon many others also. What a sad, sad person. Over 14 years I have built and bought a variety of houses. I have not lost weight, nor my marbles and have a lovely Thai Wife who help was invaluable. We became good friends with our Thai Builder and would often go out socially with him and his Managers. We now have a little Resort and are as happy as Larry and are looking forward to the next 14 years!. A bit like the previous Op who said he lives in Thailand and loves it! And there are quite a few of us about, but of course they don't belly ache about their lot on Thai Visa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Miller Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Anybody have experience actually building a house? I mean with their own hands, not managing a local crew. I have built a couple of small homes in the US in days gone by, and enjoyed it. Just wondering if you would get into work permit, building permit, hassles etc, if you tried it here.

Like many, @eycatcher is only expressing how he feels about the extremely low standards in Thailand's construction industry. Construction work is stressful for the homeowner in most countries but Thailand takes it to a whole new level. I am a half Thai mongrel and can speak the language quite well but since moving from Europe most of my stress and anger level has been lifted by useless incompetent Thai construction and service industry workers.

cracker1 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Concrete walls and flooring, tiling, iron framed and tile roof, inside kitchen, plumbing and electrical. I would expect to pay approximately 10,000 baht per square M. Of course there are many "variables" that can alter this, like quality of kitchen and bathroom and light fittings and tiles. But I built for less than 8000 TB per meter five years ago on Samui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be hiring someone to build a house on my wife's land in 2 or 3 years, but much smaller than yours. About 120 sqms. I would also be interested to learn what type of grass you have there. I have Malaysian grass by the side of my town house in Bangkok, but when we move upcountry I will need something a bit more hardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass was from some company up here I don't know the type but for me I just asked Tom Jones! The bottom room (with the Man City coloured blinds) was supposed to be a car port, but I refused. It is my 'office/playroom. I have now built a car port/cover at the left hand side for Bht 10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Theory Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I can estimate the cost after I see the lot and floor plan. But it is possible from 8000 to 15000 for an average house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
