Premature, I'd say. Come back and gloat in a year if it's still standing!

So, when and where are you buying the celebratory beers?

WhiteLotusLane · 18-09-2007, 12:48 PM

Tesco-Lotus, usually.

How much would they charge to move a 5 bedroom detached house from Phrae to Surrey ?

I think there might be a profit to be made here

dirtydog · 09-11-2007, 01:22 PM

Well it all seems to have gone well and they have built a house fit for a monk, luckily it is on Temple grounds so it most likely will be occupied by a monk.

Nice picture story. Restores my faith in Thai engineering.

not really

It looks OK, but what about the structural integrity?

As was mentioned, it is not that unusual to move a house, I recently saw a series of programs about that; some of the houses were ancient, some more modern. some moved a long way, some just up the road.

All sustained some damage, most of it just cracking due to differential movement. It looks as if the Thais have managed to do it with much less sophisticated equipment.
