Thread: New build in Hua Hin

all the water,(hot and cold) and electrics come from the pump room on the left, so a channel is made above the main entrance and all ducting is placed in the channel which is later sealed. that way water can reach the main building and the separate bedroom.

carport columns are rendered and the main entrance near completion.

Thanks for the measurements. Looks great so far. Hope you have a back gate for the digger for the pool LOL. just read the text. laughs on me :-) Could not live in Thailand without a pool. Like the idea of it being central theme.

ok update, most of the rendering is now complete.

inside is near completion also.
all ceilings done.

soffits being boarded shut.

water feature is built and first lick of paint.

pool is dug out and blocked in.it was a bad time to dig the pool as rainy season was just starting.

pool from other angle.

internal tiling mostly done.

Bathroom tiling coming along nicely.

swimming pool piping needed redoing, all too close together, weak spot when concreted.

water feature tiled.

pool shuttered up and being poured.

Lucy guarding the tiles.

feature wall at entrance is now complete, this is the second load of tiles, the first lot were wrong, my fault, didn't have such a rugged look

these are the tiles we originally had on the feature wall. not as nice.

Do you not have an Enter key on your keyboard?

I does. What should I use it for?

I am missing some waterstops around the piping of your pool?
With no waterstop around the pipes they will probably let water through.

when concrete poured in already you might have a problem.

^ that's interesting, I have never seen water stops used for piping in the pools, do you have a pic of an example please.

Nice build and lovely dog, Splitlid.


I'm feeling homesick now

Great, another build thread to waste my time on.....

good stuff, lets see more!

when you google for piping pvc waterrstopand look for pics there are a lot pics.

thai poolbuilders/shops make them themself they glue a round or square pvc sheet around the pipes.

your home looks amazing well.

Coming along very nicely. It's an interesting little house and pool. Excellent choice of bricks and roofing...

I like the idea of the feature wall at the entrance, but I am not so keen on the grey walls of the dwelling units. Each to his/her own, as they say. Project is looking good though.

I rather like how the first sight on coming through the entryway is the pool.


Just be careful when you're staggering home late after an evening of bell ringing down Soi Bintabat...

Hi Sjeng, yes I know what water stops look like, its just that I havn't seen them installed in pools in Thailand.
I guess it could be any of the below reasons:
1.maybe I miss the installation.
2.maybe tiled pools differ from rendered or pebblecrete, etc pools.
3.maybe they are included in the fittings that are installed.
4.maybe they don't give a toss.

4 sounds good, but they all give a 10 year guarantee(for what its worth) so I guess they don't have problems with it. But thanks for bringing it up, I will definitely mention it in the future.

arrrrrrr ok I did try that but it didn't seem to work, I will try next post.

ok so pool is poured and shuttering removed.

hey this spacing thing works, cheers Marmite.

doors and windows are being installed, we originally wanted a metallic grey but the factory couldn't produce them for some reason, so we went for the black.
they are upvc.

they still have the plastic protection film on them.
