Beautiful Houses in Thailand

**NickA** · 22-10-2007, 07:44 PM

Ah, yes, IF it was in that location, I do believe it may be worth the money... just as long as it doesn't have any half bathrooms.

**dirtydog** · 22-10-2007, 07:51 PM

Are you suggesting that some of the bathrooms may not be full bathrooms? if that was the case then he should get a discount, it seems we are both quite knowlegeble on the Chiang mai property scene

**dirtydog** · 22-10-2007, 07:52 PM

Seems I cant give you any rep at this stage either for some reason as much as I would like to, never mind I wont forget

By the look of this pic, this place must flood a lot and I don't think you could do a lot to stop future flooding unless you tore everything down and raised the ground level but then the surrounding area would flood anyway and then you couldn't get to the place anyway. Must be why it's vacant.

That is one flash house any idea what it was or who owns it ?

^ Rigger: this is all the info that I could find although I've always been interested in it cause I pass it every time I take the boat from Nonthaburi to the city...

Ban Bang Yeekhan" built around 1910 by Ammart Ek Phraya Cholaphoomphanit (Kai Tak) and his wife, Khunying Suan who used to work as servant in the Palace of Queen Saowabhapongsri. Therefore, it has Chinese and Colonial styles which were in fashion at the time.

Later on, his son, Mr Panjit Anekkawanit (the former governor of Bangkok and Thonburi) sold the house to the caretakers of Unsorrizzunna Mosque (the mosque opposite the site across Bangkok Noi Canal near Thonburi station) in the 1950s to use it as the new Raj Karun Muslim School.

The original school was razed by Allied bombing during WWII in an attempt to destroy Thonburi Station (Bangkok Noi Station) in 1945. The final assault on Thonburi Station was on March 5, 1945.

Raj Karun Muslim School went out of business in 1978 so the building is abandoned and now this Ban Bang Yeekhan is under the trusteeship of Krungthep Witthayatharn Muslim Foundation.

However Krungthep Witthayatharn seems to be short of funds to renovate it.

Ha ha very funny. It si 14 mill and it is Doi Saket..As you both know.
Only a dream at the mo. Although i would snap it up for 40 % off that..

I apologise about nicka following you around Thailand, he does get bored though, but he only eats dead human flesh

Panorama pics are here but they are huge so those on DU be warned

WOW this is an amazing project, with Thai labour though it would take forever.

If this is the one near the Oriental Hotel, then from what I have heard it is supposed to be converted into another riverfront hotel. I really don't know if this is true.

**dirtydog** · 29-10-2007, 05:15 PM

These 2 houses are on Sukhumvit Soi 87, the first one is easy to see, although as he has quite a bit of land had to zoom in quite a bit, the second one he has too many bloody trees

**dirtydog** · 31-10-2007, 03:56 PM

This one is on the east side of Sukhumvit in the Jomtien area, too damn big to get it all in the photo though

**Sir Burr** · 31-10-2007, 04:01 PM

Sorry, my tastes must be different. I would put that in the Hideous Thai house thread.
Neo classical pillars with bugger-all windows.

**dirtydog** · 06-11-2007, 12:26 PM

Carrying on the theme of tatty houses that could do with some renovation, I quite like this one, it is just off of Sukhumvit Road opposite South Pattaya Road, coat of paint and varnish and it would look great.

**Lily** · 06-11-2007, 03:48 PM

And some different verandah railings.

**dirtydog** · 10-11-2007, 01:48 PM

Heres a nice house out near Mabprachan Lake.

Not a bad sized driveway, although I should imagine getting pissed off a lot if you got door to door salesmen here.

**marky** · 31-12-2007, 07:34 PM

Can anyone recommend me a Bangkok-based architect/builder who has done a nice job in the planning and construction of beach-front villa's?
I am thinking of moving to Thailand and build me two or more villa's in the quieter parts of Southern-Thailand-beaches.
Any info would be great.
