For the rock table and chairs I think it cost about 7000 baht to include labor.

Hillbilly,
thanks for a great series!! My first post on TD, and I only joined because of your post and wit. A pleasant change from the usual xpat moaning! Only been in Thailand for a year [ but away from homeland Oz for 20plus]. Living in Phuket - bought from a well known "developer" . Hmm..... perhaps I should have kept the powder dry - maybe I'll be heading sooner than I anticipated . Thanks again for a great and humourous insight. Shoulda cottoned on sooner but I love the place all over.

I just found this thread today and read the whole thing in one sitting. I too need a beer! I will raise my glass to you Hillbilly and congratulate you on a great project. I too have bought a 'modern developement' house in Bangsean and wish I had waited. I have bought some land near CM and will buy more, closer to the river hopefully.
You and the good Doctor have provided me with inspiration to get going asap. I only hope my money stretches far enough!
Anyway, once again, well done on the house and the thread.

A very good post HB enjoyed it all. Got thinking if you did this in the so called civilized part of the world you would now have to get a second job just to pay the annual tax bill.

After a pleasurable afternoon/evening sipping suds , and chewing the fat in the "pavillion" ... a short note of thanks and congrats on what an amazing job you guys have done with the place HB.
Looking forward to coming back again and hope to get some fishing in next time.

Oh , the food in the restaurant was "top notch" .... keeping the cook happy would be a good investment :-) .

Wow, all I can say is thanks to everyone for their input. Ok, now here is the latest updates.

The concrete buffalo is in, the old Thai style way of making charcoal in a mud dome is half way through. An old rice storage building has been bought and will soon become a mini-museum.

The biggest news is that the wife is finally excited!! About the possibility of a swimming pool...
