udon Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I've searched for electrical standards in Thailand but can't find any. I'm assuming that Thailand is slowly adopting the ISO standards, which are very good. If anybody knows anything about "Standards" in Thailand, I'd love to know about them.Again, apologies for seeming bitchy. Just bring your Aussie experience and standards and you will be in demand by all expat home builders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkangorito Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Those with electrical questions etc, should see the post called 'Breaker Box Wiring'.

Maigo6 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi, The house never actually had any plans, it was just a case of , I want a room this size, I want this, that.etc...etc... Probably 1.5 Million will get you a similar house, although now with everything having risen in price maybe you should allow for more. We used more expensive materials all round the house, interior also, hard wood doors etc, expensive Tiles, you can do it cheaper than I did if you need to. My wife actually done all the site management and the designs were from her, I was overseas working to pay for it!! In fact, The House is on the Main Road to Loei Highway 201, just past Phu Kradung, many people have stopped and asked for plans, they have to make do with taking shots with a digital Camera. The work was carried out by Family members, and local labour all from our Village, Windows and cielings from Chumpare, gates from Nong Hin. I'm sure you can find competent builders in Chaiyaphum, try the Isaan forum and maybe there are guys that can recommend someone. Good luck.

crwn Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I am interested in a Vacation Home, is this a prefab house, if so can you PMl me the details Thanks Den To Steve & Burr, thanks for sharing info & pix of your houses. For anyone who is worried about termites, have a look at Termimesh before building. My concept house is based on a Qlder. Pole house Another view of the Pole house Too much glass in these pics, but it would be on 3m poles with 2 large rainwater tanks at the rear. Floor plan... B/R No. 3 would be a linen/junk room & I like the walk-in pantry in the kitchen & I'd double the size of the shower areas & dump the bath... Verandah goes all around and is 2m wide covered by 3m eaves. I'd use steel wherever possible. Bronco has offered to design a simple lift for me at the rear... All doorways wide enough for a wheelchair, lever handles on all doors and oversized light switches. I have Sketchup 5 and Smartdraw 7 but haven't mastered either, yet. Very frustrating to be over 60 & IT dumb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi The cost of the house is around 6.3 Million. That includes all bathrooms, pool etc but not the kitchen as my builder refuses to get between a woman and her choice of kitchen. I sat in my man,s office told him over coffee what I required, we made same sketches there and then which he took to BK to be formalized and made into plans. The builder is a star. Honest and sets very high standards. He has brought down to Pattaya just about all the materials as he was not happy with the standard ( or spec with the steel ) of the local stuff. The house inside is around 400sqm with 2000sqm of garden. The master bedroom (80sqm) is the only upstairs room, the rest is false giving high ( and I mean high) ceilings to keep the place cool and save on aircon ( whole house aircned Daiken in the price ). You can build cheaper, but yo get what you pay for. I am happy to pass on the builders details to anyone who sends a PM. Oh yes, fake chimney, just thought it looked unusual for the area.

lindegaard Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Suiqinq, Thank you so much the outlay of your house, look's stunning... I like the "fake" chimney, that's a cool add on... the bedroom must then be situated above the kitchen and maid's room right?? at least that's what I tried to figure out, 'cause both attachments were ground floor.. I will send PM for details on builder, looks like he know's what he is doing... I like the idea of hi ceiling above the living room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the build progresses things naturally change. We have made the stairs to the upper floor open plan with a gallery ( looks much better ). Please speak to the builder, his English is first rate, you will not be disappointed.

It's looking good Suiging, and moving forward, not a bad price considering the size, and not least the quality as it looks... is your price incl. the land???
