I think it is better to make your own, once you have got some ideas of what you want

use an architect too, they often spot silly problems before you build!

In addition, remember you are in Thailand, a lot of houses in those sites are totally unsuitable for the tropics. think about where the sun is, try to make sure you face away from it with few windows to the South

have larger overhangs on your roof, for shade and shelter

insulate any house against the heat as much as possible, have as much through draft potential as you can

also remember, a great deal of your living will be OUTSIDE, so have large verandahs or sitting areas

Design it for your lifestyle and for the tropics

definately agree there, however, it all depend on budget,location, personality, etc

What type of house did you have in mind? And where; Karon beach? Material costs have risen substantially in the past few years so you should try to source the material yourself, if possible.

Is it cheap to build a house in Thailand?

Yes, it's free if you have the right paper work.
