The obvious problem with this design is that it doesn't fit the standard 4m x 4m grid that the Thais are used to. I'm not saying that it can't be done (steel beams or hefty concrete ones for instance) but it will add to the cost.
True enough, but as I said , the basic rectangles dimensions can be adjusted to suit the experience of the adverage Thai builder. I've already had a go at this using the useful site : Create floor plans, house plans and home plans online with Floorplanner.com with the following result.....




A bit blurred as I had to resize but you get the drift. Bedroom and livingroom can be made 12' wide. I think the main thing is not to go over 12' on any one span.
The rough dimensions of the above plan are a bungalow 30' wide by 24' deep but I'm still tinkering with it as well as other possible layouts.
