Construction in Thailand Is building in Thailand as bad as it seems? Can properties really be built and fitted out to European standards? Would you like to Build your own house in Phuket, or a swimming pool in Bangkok? Solar water heating in Pattaya? Or maybe you want to build a resort or guesthouse on Koh Samui? If you want to build a luxury house in Thailand then this is the forum for you.

Day 2 - they've already dug out plot and marked it out. They don't waste time these thai uilders, I'm impressed!

Thanks. It's taken ages to get to this stage. I've tried playing it as safe as possible on tenure, design, waiting for permission etc.

Design means it should be a great home + give my parents an apartment annexe to use too. I'm doing interior to hit rental market. There isn't (as far as I can see) a really smart villa with good private pool available for short term rental in this area. Not relying on it, but it would be great if it could wash its face when I'm not using it.

I'm having to push the boat out on choice of materials etc. Marble for pool, 40 cm walls and stuff like that. Saw so many cheaply built places with 10 or 20 cm walls that I figured may be worth taking the concept of "uber cool pad" as far as I could. The architect seems keen to showcase what he can do. I've left alot of conceptual stuff at his total discretion, with our input limited to number of rooms and use of space only.

Plot now marked out. Workers' houses half built on adjacent land. They start drilling for foundations tomorrow.

^ workers' accomodation. Seems they camp on the land for the duration of the build. Wish they'd do that in UK. My lot expect me to pay B and Bs for them.
