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.

Build a small house.

The gf has some land in Wichien Buri and we were thinking of building a small holiday home on it with a view to moving there permanently in the future. I've checked all the threads in the construction forum but it seems other peoples ideas of small are not the same as mine. I call 2 - 3 bedrooms big already !!

What we were thinking of was a 1 bedroom bungalow with living room, kitchenette and bathroom.....about 45 - 50 sq metres with a budget of around 400,000 baht. Is this possible.?

Lastly, the last time I built a place in the sticks ( Khon Kaen ) no planning permission was required and there were no inspections of work carried out. I understand this is not the case now. What hassles can I expect ?

Interestingly, the walls of the house I had built in Khon Kaen were built on just 6" of reinforced concrete !! No deep footings as the ground was rock hard. Amazingly, the place is still standing !
