Beautiful Houses in Thailand

[dirtydog]

^^is that including land?

don't be silly.

[Silent Ninja]

Here is Saha Farm in Pattaya, may not be to some peoples tastes and also wealth

What is this? A private home or a gay colored prison?

[NickA]

Why not? So how much for beach frint land in Bangsaen?

[dirtydog]

I think probably about 4 to 8 million baht per rai

[billynomates]

DD, how much would you "guestimate" for that one with the big pillars outside?

wild quick guesstimate? over 10 million baht could be nearer 15 depending on the stuff inside.

Cheers DD. Cheap as chips really. So for about 20mill including the land. How are labour and material prices at the moment? Have they increased much in the last couple of years?

I've (well the mrs has ) already got 15 rai in various areas and i'm not sure when to start actually building something. I was going to wait until i go to LOS full time, then overlooking the build would occupy me. But if labour and matl's are increasing heavily, it might be best to at least get the structure up.

[dirtydog]

Steel and that had a big increase a couple of years ago, but now prices are stable, so you aint got to rush into it.

I know that most of the TD posters are out of my ballpark when it comes to building a home.

However, this is where is gets interesting. As an owner I want to be on site daily.

The contractor often says 'crap'.

What is the best way if I had the money to get one of these moster homes built

[meepho]

spending that sort of lolly i'd want to see every thing is done perfectly and if that meant being on site every day the so be it.

[dirtydog]

This house is just being finished, it is down near the light house in Pattaya, had to take a video as it takes up too much of the road, ps guest you need to be a member to view videos on this board.

[dirtydog]

This one is being built.



and here is the finished version.

[dirtydog]

I quite liked this one.

[hillbilly]

I am thinking about 160 sq rai. Price? About 10,000 million baht. Am I close?

[NickA]

Price? About 10,000 million baht. Am I close?

A bit high, I would think

[Eliminator]

I would think WAY TOO HIGH and the carport doesn't even cover the car. Can't understand why Thais don't build a proper garage.

[Fingers_in_pies]

I quite liked this one.

Wow thats very nice without going over the top, i think though i would of built over the garage and had it looking the same as the other side.

[Silent Ninja]

Except the frontdoors look like something that was stolen from a beauty saloon.

[dickie]

You could have this house built for around 7.5 million baht, not including the land, this one is on 300sq wah+

[Fingers_in_pies]

I always wanted something nice like that in the village. We have the farm and we do spend quite alot of time in my missus home town. When we do visit though we stay at the family home which although is huge, doesnt have the privacy that i would like.

[Airportwo]

around 7.5 million baht

Thanks reckon less than half would more than cover it!

[dickie]

Your joking if you think you can have a house built like this 350sqm for under 4 million baht.
This is my place & it cost me 6 million baht to be built including pool gardens etc back in 2003
So a current estimate of 7.5 is fairly acurate

I use a quality builder, Thailand is like anywhere else & you get what you pay for!!

If you think I'm crazy look at what some of the real estate agents are selling 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 12 x 6 swimming pool, western fully fitted kitchen, 350sqm homes for on 300+ sq wah, on Pratmanak hill, with partial sea views, 300 metres from Asia beach, one thing I can tell you it's nothing like 11 million baht, that's what the total cost of this place was including the land
My place is NOT for sale
Land around here is currently selling at 25,000 baht per sq wah++, & from what I've seen advertised in the local magazines etc recently a lot more than that as well, there is currently a 274 sq wah piece next to me for sale at 45,000 per sq wah a bit exessive that!!

No babboo rebar in this place!!!!

Usually gardens and pools are not included when people are discussing price for building a house..
How much of the 6 mill did you spend for the house basic (concrete and roof) , and how much did you spend inside ?

The house & the interiors run about 5.3 million baht I guess, this place has UPVC windows, & the exterior walls are made of 20cm thermal superblock, full a/c's
My prefered builder I work with on my projects & work, he only does quality houses
Before he built my place he built a 30 million baht mansion in Bang Saray, he is currently building a big house right on the beach in Ban Amphur, I don't deal with any cowboy builders, I've got the reputation of my company to think of

[dirtydog]

dickie dont drag yourself down to these scumbags levels, next you will have to explain about the upvc double glazing and why it is more expensive than the normal stuff, and these guys aint gonna be fitting that stuff to there cowsheds

That's a bit rich coming from a guy who just has been labeled cowboy, isn't it
