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 ! |
An interesting location you have selected for your build. Maybe i could help you with a couple of names of tried and tested builders. I think you can build a one bed in Wichenburi for 450,000, I know of one being built for that same money in the village today.
