Where does it say Americans want to do it mate?Originally Posted by Iceman123

Post #1 and #13 seem to point to the market not many Thais buying American design a homes in an American designed village for 10 mill.
^ Yet that seems to be who wants them. Next to the new Central Department Complex. Not sure but we seem to be reading it two different ways that is for sure.
Western style is quite popular with Thai. I have noticed it's mostly foreigners who build and decorate their house in traditional Thai style.
I agree that 120 t.w. is too small for a Merkin style house and yard, i.e. you'll have no yard left to speak of. Some things you can do to make it seem more pleasant and less like Army base housing that so many Thai moo bans have (including Land and Houses, etc.) is to make the roads curvy and make the house setbacks vary. Even if all the houses are the same design, you can reverse the design every other house, and mandate different colors and/or finishes. You can also vary the landscape design a bit for each house. Will there be nothing separating these houses? Perhaps a low fence with those flowering hedges would be nice. And if you really want to get "cute Merkin" , a white picket fence; something I have seen a lot in Thai house advertisements, but never in real life.

Go for pre-fab building, as it's easy and cheap.
Similar to these beautiful Russian made ones.
^ While OP's customers probably expect something like that ....
As far as underground cabling is concerned. True or TOT would probably be happy to have a junction box in the development if the cabling is installed by someone else. Or for 10 houses have a ADSL or fibre optic hub in the development. This is why 10M?
Like the old days when the local Bell guy came around to a new house build and dropped off a small reel of telephone wire to be run inside the house.
Better to think inside the pub, than outside the box?
I apologize if any offence was caused. unless it was intended.
You people, you think I know feck nothing; I tell you: I know feck all
Those who cannot change their mind, cannot change anything.
If you want a farang area set the rules of buying first. EXamples; noise/guest's/ect
Will Thai be forbidden from any sort of occupation? If it is to be solely farang what will be the policy on the wife's family visiting. If there is to be a communal area will this be the shitting ground for all the dogs that will undoubtedly proliferate? Creating a gated community for civilised folk within some ghastly Isaan dystopia sounds weird to me. I mean, just what the fuck for? The wife would prefer to live in her "big face house " in her own village and most normal farang chaps usually give up the rural life style after their temporary madness recedes and return to Bkk, Pattaya etc.
Rural farang are all a little odd, to say the least.
If there will be monthly maintenance fees, there could be problems, especially if people start renting their places out or spend only part of the year there– you have to be a complete cock (by using constant threats and coercion, even if they've made a contractual agreement) to extract money from people on a monthly basis or they often won't pay, even in high-dollar residences.
I hate 'communal' anything when it comes to planned neighborhoods as I've seen shared areas turn to complete shit due to inconsideration if the residents have to be relied upon to pony up every month to keep things running smoothly.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
