The living room. Obviously, they don't have a kid.
This is where they eat. No that ain't a TV in the background it is an aquarium.

The kitchen. They did close the bottom cabinets for this shot.
The indoor/outdoor fish pond. Sorry about the flash, I was a little drunk.
They also had some neat bicyles. But, I have never seen them in action...
What happened to the fish Billy?Originally Posted by hillbilly
Didja eat 'em?
I saw this nice one near Chiang Mai last weekend.
MTD
That is very similar to a house in Beung Khan Near Nong Khai.
I will try and dig up a photo. As far as I remember it cost the guy 25 million to build.
Seems kinda crazy to build a house that would cost so much and build a tin cover for a car.
Were they happy about you snooping and a lurking about at the foot of their steps taking pics MTD?
Yes, they were actually. Seemed like decent, hard working people.Originally Posted by ChiangMai noon
Might add these folks are wood carvers, the thing probably cost them very little to build. The family has probably lived n the same plot for generations it is a showpiece that they live in. This is just one fo the back street homes in Baan tawai. They have a large work area next to the home and are quite used to folks walkin up and asking questions although we were basically ignored while the folks worked. We were offered smiles and nods when we entered the property. I used to be a regular out in that neck of the woods and have always been made to feel at least tolerated if not welcomed (usually the latter) wherever I've gone.
Well this cnut has built the house of his dreams, if he was in the UK he would be petrol bombed. The pink and royal blue dont show out to well in this picture.
Now here we have a guy with good taste in Tha Mai/Chantaburi.
These Guys in Tha Mai next to Chantaburi are raking in the dosh doing the old shrimp farming, there were so many nice houses it was amazing, these people aint poor and are living the good life, stuff TEFLERS dream about
Is that pink house Dougal's?
I wouldn't describe my house as 'pretty' but at least it's not pink!!!!
Well, it was dark.Originally Posted by Dougal
It seems to be in a similar style though if I remember correctly.
I am posting this only to quash any rumours that I might have a pink house!!!! Did you see any pink elephants that evening?
I suppose it was sitting on the veranda that I was thinking of. Nice evening though.
How much does it cost to build a house? we have land (me and the missus) and at the moment it's a farm with a very small bungalow for the guy that looks after the farm. What i would like to do in the future is build a house, quite large, something that the tefl'ers will never afford lol sorry dudes. Something like the 2nd or 3rd ones down, with maybe a pool.
Which post numbers FiP? DD is the man to give you a quote but the cost is mostly a factor of the floor area in sq meters and to what level of luxury you aspire.
One of the things that you might like to consider is side issues like if you build big in the village where your wife's family live you might find that you have more 'permanent' guests than you really need.
Lord, deliver us from e-mail.
Yes, that's very nice. Good colors and decent design. Looks similar to one I'm putting on paper (except on mine the left and right wings are only one story while the main part is two stories).Originally Posted by dirtydog
Yes a nice house to live in but it looks very conventional.
With the cost of building so low here I am surprised that I have never seen any follies. Where have all the eccentric English gentlemen gone ?
Large busy houses don't do much for me. Whenever I see one of those eyesores they use in the lakorns I want to vomit.
Why do rooms have to be rectangular ?
In Uk we have round oast houses that have been converted into quality homes.
I bought an old granite chapel for a house when I was in the UK.
These are the round houses in Pontypridd that my mum was born in...
