This is the village that I luve in.
It is divided into 6 phases, the newest one being the Golden Teak House Phase.

Only a couple have gone up so far and I have taken a couple of pictures of them...

I really like these style houses, but with a 13 million baht starting price, they are very expensive by Chiangmai satandards.

Thai Golden Teak House phase 6

Phase concept “Luxury living....Traditional style”

The houses are built from teak wood and decorated in traditional Lanna style, this shows the true beauty of Thai design and architecture. We offer two styles, each has a main home, guest house, private swimming pool and landscaped garden, all of which are designed and built in the same traditional style.

The prices begin at Thirteen million five hundred and ninety thousand. Expected completion for sale is December 2006.

These are some pics of the interior from the village website...

We've got a nice swimming pool at the village.
Great because thais don't use it till night time when you don't want to use it..

benbaaa · 12-09-2006, 10:05 AM

Bladdy hell, I paid 1.6m for my house.

ChiangMai noon · 12-09-2006, 10:06 AM

I know, but the likterature says that the laguna homes is one of the most saught after properties in Chiang mai...

There are other designs, starting at 1.4 million.

ChiangMai noon · 12-09-2006, 10:08 AM

This is the design I got for 1.29 million.
i think they are 1.6 now though.

benbaaa · 12-09-2006, 10:45 AM

^ I prefer that style, actually. Don't really go for all that twiddly wood.

Storekeeper · 12-09-2006, 11:06 AM

CMN,

How many bedrooms is this ? Do you think this same house would be cheaper if built in ony of the country towns ? Did you ever find the blue prints?

I'm afraid not SK.

It's 110 sq metres, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, i added a kitchen at the back for 30,000 baht.
Land is around 7,900 a sq wah, so half the cost was land cost, you can still get land in CM for less than 4,000 a sq wah.

Always cracks me up that you don't often get a kitchen in your house. MPR...

ChiangMai noon · 12-09-2006, 11:47 AM

Yes, most seem happy to cook and wash up outside.
Bloody uncivilized i reckon.

Think I'll take some pics of my kitchen now.

Storekeeper · 12-09-2006, 12:00 PM

CMN ... this thread is helping me sort out a few things. One of my worries is about a house and land if I decide not to live in Phichit. I'm pretty much debt free but I've only got enough in savings to do this right but one time. Your type house fits my needs perfectly.

My wife seems to think that we might be able to get a bargain deal on a repo through a bank. What do you think ?

That's certainly an option.
I saw some great bargains with Siam City Bank.
Might be able to find some on their website, though I haven't looked.

Unfortunately, my wife, being Thai and all is scared of ghosts and stuff.

MeMock · 12-09-2006, 12:41 PM

Where are the kitchen pics?

ChiangMai noon · 12-09-2006, 12:45 PM

Coming soon.
Though I'm a bit embarrassed about my fridge after seeing yours.

Yes you can.
I bought a house just after the crash in 97 and got a real bargain.
You will need to look for a long time though.
You have to find the right property and a bank manager who is realistic.

They tend to sell the cheap repo houses to "favoured" customers.

MeMock · 12-09-2006, 02:32 PM

I'm just impressed that CMN's house has a proper footpath and kerbing.

As for my fridge, it was a wedding present, there is no way that I would pay that much money for anything

Storekeeper · 12-09-2006, 02:35 PM

Do you use that water/ice dispenser ?

MeMock · 12-09-2006, 02:39 PM

certainly do, all day everyday. Well the water every day and the ice everytime I am on the rum.

Visiting kids love it and go home sloshing as they are so full of water because of the novelty of it.

I even fill up me water bottle from it and take it to work.
