Termites living in the soil below a house will eventually come inside the house by building pathes on the concrete framework.
Looking at your photos, it seems there is not much space below your house so I think the pvc piping is the best option for you.
Khun Lom,

I do not take your recommendation lightly, have given consideration, and appreciate the candid thoughts provided... As it turns out, I have decided to go with a treatment is supposed to last for 5 years, that along with the fact that the floors will be approximately 1 meter or so off the ground, the doors in the house will be teak and are retardant to termite infestation, and the makha floors in 2 of the rooms are also resistant to termites should, although there is never 100% assurance, resolve any potential threats of termites. Additionally, remaining vigilant on my part to identification of the signs of any termite activity and taking prompt action will ensure the desired protection.

Thanks again for your thoughs on this matter.
