there I was out in the Pattaya countryside today and I came across this one, it's pretty damn nice actually.

dirtydog · 07-11-2005, 03:49 PM

This one could be yours for just over 3 million baht, but it is about 10km from Pattaya.

dirtydog · 13-12-2005, 04:09 PM

This one here is in Naklua, it is really nice and the land value must be really high, only problem is that it is on the main road

aging one · 13-12-2005, 04:17 PM

Looks almost like the newer Mu Ban going in next to me Ban Thai, but they are getting 50,000 a farung wah.

That 7,000 baht a meter is a nice quote there Dog. But I know you would never build up in CX, and for sure never build for an aging focking Yank.

dirtydog · 13-12-2005, 04:20 PM

something like that cannot be built for 7,000baht per meter, your probably, judging from the outside, looking at 20k and up per meter.

I like this one I think it's very similar to one that I used to live near.

Is it in Pattaya down Soi Siam Country Club? Or somewhere near there.

dirtydog · 15-12-2005, 11:56 PM

that's the one ice

Ice Maiden · 15-12-2005, 11:58 PM

I told my Dad he should buy it !

You're right there is a lot of land with it but it is beautiful we used to pass it everyday.

I'll take some pics of what you can get for that amount today.

Like a kid with a new toy!!
The dogs, the cats, the houses, the lasagne......
You'll soon get your 16,000 bahts worth CMN.

Now what about a field report from Chiang Mai's notorious short time bars?

ChiangMai noon · 21-12-2005, 09:44 AM

I think I can do that but i'll have to take my wife with me.
Bargirls scare me with their class and sincerity.

Excellent, you can take turns in taking the piccys.

ChiangMai noon · 21-12-2005, 12:15 PM

Here we go.
In my village in Chiang mai, you can get this house for less than 3 million baht.

It's directly opposite my house, which might be reflected in the value.

ChiangMai noon · 21-12-2005, 12:17 PM

this one just down the road is going for about 3.5 million baht.

DrAndy · 21-12-2005, 12:50 PM

they look like outside of the town CMN, where land is cheaper

I am trying to buy something near the centre, and land price is about 35,000 per sq wah, I think

noisier but more like a life!

I did get given an architect name by Marmers, but in Bkk.

Any good ones in CM? make life easier, and cheaper

ChiangMai noon · 21-12-2005, 12:58 PM

Dr Andy.
It takes me 11 minutes exactly to get to the centre of town from here.
Really, nowhere is far from anywhere up here.

OK this may sound smart, but why should the price be so different, 7,000 to 20,000? Is it the internal finishes, like marble tiles etc, or the actual construction costs?

ChiangMai noon · 21-12-2005, 01:01 PM

Tiling, even grade 'a' tiling is ridiculously cheap.

180 baht a squars metre.
The overall cost to tile my house plus the 2 bathrooms was no more than 24,000.
that was in the cost of the house mind you.

dirtydog · 21-12-2005, 01:28 PM

Standard of materials to finish, tiles go upto 1,000baht per sq met, granite upto 5,000baht per sq met, in that pic he has used solar glass which is the most expensive, things like taps start at 75baht and go upto 5,000baht, silly little things like that soon add up though
