At the start of HillBilly's house thread several members said that they were interested in teak houses.

I passed by this place today, so stopped to take a picture.

The sign outside says that they make teak houses for sale but the gate was locked, no-one was there and no phone number displayed.
Sorry I have no idea on price but if anyone says "yeah, that's what I want" then I will keep an eye on the place and try to find the owner.

Looks good. I would like more information as you get it. What town, street is this located on?

It's about 12 kms out of Phrae city and about 3 km off highway 101.

No street name as it is in the sticks, I would have to draw you a map.

massagelondon · 17-10-2006, 04:40 PM

there is a company in Bangkok, in Taling Chan on Thonburi, which makes them.

it's cvs thai home - 46/31 m 9 salathammasop, tel 2 889 2119. they have a website.

it's on phra pin klao, between Budhamonton 3 and 4, on the north side of the street.

they have those houses on display close by, just off the thanon wongwen rob nok (western outer ring road - opposite my homestay in Taling Chan)

That gives me an idea. What goes up can come down.

If i buy one of the homes it can be in my name, i cannot own the land but i can own the house.
I can rent or lease a small plot anywhere in Thailand. If i get bored of a location or have relationship problems my house can be put back in a container and moved within 24hrs.
If i decide to leave Thailand and go back to UK I can have it shipped there and it would make a nice summer house in my parents garden....and also solve a very expensive housing problem for me back there.
It's a win - win situation that might suit other farangs here?

House prices start at 1.6 million Baht

I went the other way; I bought old teak homes just for the teak and had them dismantled and sent to my land. If I leave Thailand for any reason, the teak will be dismantled again and shipped to the U.S. to either sell or use.

I have to go to the province of Phrae in about 2 weeks or so to look at some in-house furniture. Will try to get some more info then.

However, keep in mind that Thetyim is the expert up in that neck of the woods. Please send all questions to him...

I will say however, buying a Thai teak home by the road is similar to buying a hillbilly trailer house. "Ma, how come our home does not look like the brochure ?"

DrAndy · 25-10-2006, 11:51 AM

more teak house news...

I found and have signed the contract for a teak house up near Mae Tang

it is not fancy like the one Thetyim pictures above, but we can add stuff to make it look neat

quite large, about 24 poles, 7.5 x 12.5 metres, so that will suit us, more or less

we hope to get it transported down around the end of next week, so am looking forward to seeing the big house demolished and reduced to a pile of wood

nice feature...some of the floor planks are 44cm wide, the narrowest is 35cm, and look wonderful. The wood has not been painted or varnished either, which is much better

more soon, with pics, I hope!

DrAndy · 26-10-2006, 07:56 PM

what is used for the roof of that house Thetyim

look like shingles or tiles?

would they be Ok to use instead of a normal corrugated roof?

that is, would the weight be about the same? I likle the look better

Teak shingles which are lighter than ceramic tiles

Thetyim · 03-11-2006, 11:43 AM

I called in at the same place today and found them open.

Prices start at one million. Prices include transport and erection anyway in thailand. She said that price includes toilet so I assume that includes cesspit and pan.

I cannot explain the pricing system as the cheaper house looks better than the expensive one to me.

First up is this house priced at 4.5 million

Thetyim · 03-11-2006, 11:45 AM

Now we have this one priced at 2.6 million which I prefer and it has two toilets.

Thetyim · 03-11-2006, 11:47 AM

The doors look good quality

Thetyim · 03-11-2006, 11:49 AM

These are the teak shingles for the roof

Thetyim · 03-11-2006, 11:53 AM

If you want to phone or call in here are the details

Coming from Denchai on H101 go past Phrae and then take a right onto H1101 sign posted to Pa Daeng.
It's about 5 km up there on the right in a village called Si Pong

NickA · 03-11-2006, 12:28 PM

They're great, but way more expensive than I'd want to pay.

Marmite the Dog · 03-11-2006, 01:12 PM

I was looking for a better one than them. Kinda 'U' shaped with a swimming pool surrounded by a deck.
