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.

You can get chemical treatments for the termites and a wife/Gf for the upkeep, sorted mate

I'm keen on the wood but she needs convincing...having her take on the upkeep might not sway her. Perhaps I can go half concrete and half wood, I've seen some nice designs using both.

You've swayed me on termites but what about heavy rainy seasons? Rubbing in oil doesn't strike me as being effective enough, but I'm no expert.
