Those tiles are gonna be neck-breakers when someone comes in from the pool with wet feet and they slip on 'em- ya gotta use tiles with some texture in that area.
^^ how many rai ? a friend did a splendid house in Pattaya on 3/4 Rai for less than 8m including the Land

200 sq. wah = 1/2 rai.
About half a Rai and the land in this area is going for over 5 mill a Rai.Originally Posted by Butterfly
I can also buy land in Pattaya for about 250,000 Baht a Rai but it's all about location.
You can be in Pattaya central in about 5 minutes from here and get out of Pattaya in about 10 minutes with the new expressway.
Perfect location.
The tiles in the main living area are textured and my kids have been running from the pool to the kitchen without problems for the past 2 weeks.Originally Posted by FailSafe
The bedrooms have gloss tiles but you always have to be careful in your bedroom mate.
Yes, I understand the concept of wiping your feet- however, it doesn't take much residual moisture on your feet to cause you to fall, and you can't expect everyone (especially kids) to dry their feet completely.
I've seen people go down from wet tiles before- it ain't pretty.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I won't use glossy tiles on the first floor with a pool- I agree they can look nice, though.Originally Posted by Loy Toy
I guess I'm still used to the litigious nature of the States where one day someone falls in your house and the next day they own it.

A few more random pictures and I'll try and answer some questions asked of me by PM.
1. The land originally was perfectly flat and on road level which offers no run-off or visual land contour.
So we shipped in around 100 x 10 wheel trucks of soil and scultured the land which gave it a bit of style.
This raised the main building fondations by about 0.6 metres from the road level along with the pool.
Also saved the property from flooding last week.
Lovely place with everything looking top quality. Did the mrs build it of a set plan or did she plan and build. And did the buyer have any input?
With regard to the floor tiles I have tried to capture an image of exactly what we have laid.
The tile in the forefront runs through the entire living area and we have a more textured tile around the pool which is seen in the background.
Most important if you have drunks like Nedwalk and Marmite around.

The plans were done on a simple computer programe and changed a little as we went along.
Of course you cannot change the master plans too much from those submitted and approved by the council but things have been changed slightly.
Most of the interior colour schemes were selected by the customer as she has a set plan and normally she is correct with her judgement.
I agree with some others here her choice/ taste alligns with what elderly Europeans are looking for, not too garish or radical, pretty basic and neat.
In fact my house has similar furniture which we want to rip out as I feel it is too dated.
Anyway the purpose of this thread is to show people that a decent job can be done here at a fraction of the price if you do everything yourself.
Did you consider stamped concrete for the deck? That's what I'm gonna try on the next house I build.
so how much was it sold for ?
I tried stamped concrete before and I have to admit they completely foked the whole thing up.Originally Posted by FailSafe
It is also a bugger to sweep and I would reconsider having it done if I was you mate.

I'm not too worried about the job being done correctly as I have a family connection and they'll get it right, but this is the first I've heard about maintenance issues...
