Building in Ban Meng (45 klms from Khon Kaen)
Dear Sabang,
Musty here, Just an update with our initial inquiry.
The husband and wife team came to the farm and
checked it out with the MIL.
To exactly reproduce what you have, right up to the
lighting, fan, upgrade toilets plus what ever else you had.
Price 1.4 m/bht.
Base price without the upgrades 1.2 M/Bht
To have a three bedroom version of the base price it
is 1.25 M/Bht.
Your thougts on this, did they make little money on your
place and are squaring it up in a fair minded way.
Did the price of building materials rise. Their is plenty of
evidence here with respects to brick and steel current prices.
Is their a 'falang' factor.
From what I have read, these people seem to show good service,
value and a good degree of trust.
My wife believes that this is a good price considering
the current market.
Do you have the original floor plan of the three bedroom
version you borrowed. (never admit any wrong doings, you
are only in trouble in this world, if you are caught)
That you may send me.
Your thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.
Michael and Nussara

Not hard to see why they call it the LOS. This hard nut, works like a horse and doen't stop unless she faints from the loss of too much blood . 5 foot nothing of bull terrier. Everyone is up at 5am as jobs have to be done. Real boot camp.
No yack yack for this one. Lao girl who originally jumped the fence, spent her youth in rice paddies and looking after her young brothers and sisters. The house is over 120 years old. Great hand me down. Although the farm house is finished, no one touches this old house. A reflection of her proud past.
