Mr Wasp
A great gallery requiring substantial research - "Farang Home Beautiful - Collectors Edition"?
What I find most interesting. Different budgets; different desires; different tastes.
Farangs have done more for LOS than just supporting bar-girls! A contribution to culture.

There isn't a construction thread to go with this .

What makes it interesting is that it appears in the Free Thai House Plans .
As " Small 3 bed 2 bath bungalow ".

Roobarb pointed me to this one .
It has a Thread ...... but it's in the Issan sub-section and sadly the Thread ended at this point .





Here's the plan for it and it looks a complex but fascinating build.

^Now there's a roof system...Someone tell Jacob...

A better photo of pominasia.

Pominasia's house is a really interesting combination of Thai traditional and a bit of modern - with those three gables and the tall columns. And I especially like the yard, because it is not too much and will "grow in" nicely, I think.
To say nothing of his beautiful fish pond.

Just something to look at .

If it had some really big lions on the gateposts it could be back in one of the woggy suburbs of Melbourne....not that there's anything wrong with most wogs....crikey, I married one!

Thanks Waspy, you even managed to photoshop out all the rubbish!

It's not the clearest photo ..... but it was the best option .

As I said already -- at its price -- thoroughly nice house .

This thread is something that I can view everyday and be inspired by.

The shit part is that this forum has changed so much that the posters who put so much effort into showing us there builds have simply disappeared.

So much quality input just gone.

Agreed.....quite the unfortunate turn the forum has taken.

There were the days that TD was famed for construction and how-to and DIY type threads....

Jesus,

Have a flick through the names, hardly anyone left contributing to the forum.

I think I know what you guys mean about the change in the tone .... and I kind of agree .
But when you post stuff and get no comeback you get a bit dispirited .
" Maybe people are tired of my stuff " . That kind of thought . So you trail away .

But also --- Marty , terp and 6kon have just finished their builds around the same time so its bound to go quieter .

Here's another view of a build .
I already put Marty up but this is a different angle and I don't have a lot else to Post .









Wasp

This is a great thread, and a great read for anyone thinking about building in LOS.

Kind words Marty.


Wasp

I third the above comments from Marty (FO) and JP. Before starting my build, I read many building threads, and they were very helpful - but obviously not helpful enough?! At any rate, I wanted to make a thread so others could get out of it something a bit like what I did with the other threads. So I put it out there "warts and all." The house is still not completely finished, so there may be a few more warts yet. A big thanks to Wasp for making this gallery a kind of H & G e-zine for people to peruse and then to follow up with the individual threads that they may have a particular interest in.
