Beautiful Houses in Thailand

These next 2 houses are on a new estate in Jomtien down Soi Watboon next to the Blind Beggar short time bar

Nice modern touch on the classic Thai house.

In the photo a person can sit upstairs on the balcony/lanai and look out on the garden and the pool, if sitting downstairs a person can sit in the shade underneath the lanai. I'd widen the steps and open up the view from the patio out to the garden. In the photo the distance from the house to the railing and steps would all be in brick. It would be a huge patio. The steps would lead to the pool on one side and lawn on the other. So in the photo we are looking at the back of the house while standing near the swimming pool.

Sounds great, then all you need now is a dozen cuties to sit by the pool in bikinis. Being Thai they would be terrified by the thought of getting a tan, and you would have to go down and rub sun factor 50 on them every half hour or so......

PM me when all is ready - I will bring the gin!

DD, The house at the top of the page is very similar to this one in Prachuap khirikhan. Nice designs aren't they?

Quite like the look but not exactly how i want to build mine. However, i really like the traditional roof design. How much more expensive is it to have that kind of construction? As opposed to the type in Peterpan's post above?

[billynomates]

^ % wise not to the nearest Baht of course

[dirtydog]

About 30 percent more expensive

[billynomates]

About 30 percent more expensive

Not too bad, considering the look you get eh

This place is in Ayuttaya and is being renovated, it will be a hotel and massage parlour, normal massage that is
















As you can see the front is all finished and the massge bit is open for business.

very nice

So far, this one appeals to me the most. Classic Thai in wood. DD, great thread, BTW.

DD, great thread, BTW.

That my friend is an understatement. I have to confess this thread has escaped my attention before. One of the best threads about construction thus far. More, more....

[Butterfly]

there a few mansions in my mooban. Huge. Some take 2 or 3 rai (yeah the house) and others have 2 rais front lawn.

I will try to take a few pics for the fun. I hope I won't get arrested over this.

The funny thing is that all these houses seem empty with only the employees living inside

[hillbilly]

Houses of the elite. Yes, this might be fun...

[Butterfly]

certainly elite. Most of the houses are min 40m baht with a few 120m baht and 200m baht. I am the only farang in the fucking mooban and they all stare at me when I bike near their gate. The house I am renting is small though and only worth something like 10-12 mil

The guy next door is building a nice 250m baht complex, it's fucking huge. The owner is a couple with one child !!!

[aging one]

Damn my house is worth about 8 million and I could rent it for 45 or 50 thousand baht a month. Do you mind if I ask how much you are paying and how much is the aircon bill.

[Butterfly]

I have a big garden (200 sq. wa) and the land is about 350 sq. wa

Air Con is about 5000 baht per month with peak to 8000 and low month of 3000

Very cheap for rent, about 45,000 baht, it's a bargain. I am leaving soon, end of the month, to the new place I bought

[ChiangMai noon]

Far too many rich bastards on this board these days.


think maybe I'll go back to the paupers over at ajarn.

[Butterfly]

I am poor to some others standard if that make you feel better

[NickA]

I think you should take your own advice, teacher scum!

Didn't you know that this was an elite forum for people like me, mrsquirrel and Smeg?

Leave now before you are forced to go

[ADare]

Anyway here's one I made earlier, again note the use of loads of stainless.

You may also have noticed that the 3rd floor American, or second floor English, has double glazing, well now the whole lot is going to be changed for double glazing, and I just know that they will put their grubby little hands over all the nicely painted walls and damage things, I am not looking forward to repairing all their damage.

How much is double glazing in Thailand? I am thinking of getting some new windows in my house and am considering double glazing, is it worth it.

[dirtydog]

is it worth it.

Difficult question, for this house no as he smokes and doesn't like the smoke in the house, I believe his interest was purely in the noise reduction, for a non smoker who needs aircon all the time then yes it is worth it financially in the long run, for prices do a google on ARC pattaya double glazing, they manufacture and install.

[Butterfly]

here is one

[dirtydog]

Here is a nice house hidden away down Soi Theprasit, it's a shame that it is next door to a housing estate full of concrete blandness.

Nice traditional Thai style , but roofing material and colour is awful..
