| 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. |

  | Coconut timber Been reading it could be the timber of the future, good for decking, flooring, furniture, eco-friendly etc. Untreated it isn't eaten by bugs. It's very hard, so can't be nailed once dried. Not sure if the poles are strong enough to be used structurally. We had an old tree and the locals cut it up with a chainsaw to use as roof battons. I'd expect there's a bit of it around. Anyone have further info on prices and availability?  |
