My thai fiancee will be coming back over to the US with me Sep 15th after we finally got the visa for her. My plan is to retire...again as I am already retired once from Calif...in 4 years max and then build in Buriram in her village. Her family owns and farms quite a bit of rice land and her and her sister have about a 5 rai plot that is rented out to another farmer.
What I would like to find is a very good builder in the Buriram area that I can consult with when we are visiting there concerning the best areas of land to build on, start planning our house, etc. So if anyone has the name and number of someone they have used in the area I'd appreciate it if they could pass it on to me. I have read many of the horror stories of how a lot of them skimp and not do everything quite the way you might like. So I am hoping to hook up with one that will listen to us and what we want and do it right. We will be visiting her family for about 4-5 days before we head back to the US on the 15th next month. She's pretty excited about coming here and I look forward to a great time taking her around.
Another question. How do you finalize your house plans? I assume you use an architect in your area to do all the specs but since this will be a new venture for me, I'd appreciate any input from you experienced ones!! I have my ideas of what I want and the soon to be wife and I will be discussing floor plans, etc while she is here with me.
I think this might be my first posting in here as for a few years I have just been reading other posts and enjoying all the trip pics others have posted. But now things are finally moving in the direction I want.
Thanks for all your help in advance!!
