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.

It must have cost a fortune ? So much so that you've had to replace the motorcycle with a bicycle. I hope you get a new one soon.

Getting tiles installed in Thailand is not expensive at all.

2 pack polyurethane for exteriors is a good bet if you dont want to go tearing up the tiles and replacing them with non -slip.

Its not too expensive , is available everywhere , very hard wearing and gives good coverage.
Just mix in some pre-washed fine sand and away u go. The trick is adding enuff sand to do the job but not too much to appear unsightly.

This stuff is thick when mixed and holds the sand in suspension quite well , apply with a brush.

For the sala part we removed all the tiles, for the entrance part we cleaned all to the soil, put new sand and gravel, then reinforced concrete covered with the new stuff.

wallalai,

from your photos, it's clear that re-tiling is the only proper solution. norton mentioned it earlier, but i intially wasn't interested in the prospect.

i guess i'll have to give it some more thought.

The 3 M bands from Home Pro lasted well 2 years on the stairs at my earlier place.
Just clean well with alcohol before applying...

It was exposed to sun and rain, no problem, a strip every 6 inch or so, quick and efficient, can be done before re-tiling to have safety quick...
