This is the house that Thetyim's nearest white neighbour had built in 2 months.
I really liked it.
it is basic but very nice.
bear in mind that it needs a lick of paint, but how much do you reckon this would cost?

a nice little living room..
a really nice little kitchen.
and 2 decent sized bedrooms, with a nice bathroom.
how much do you think?
Gee it's pretty small.
About 300,000?
^
pretty good guess Meemers.
250.000
^
alright.
you lot are obviously more clued up than me.
it cost 275,000 baht including furniture.
I was seriously impressed that you could knock up a very nice place for the price of a kitchen in the UK.
maybe I have been living here too long.
greens to all of you.
even butterfly was in the ball park.
^ I was just about to say 275,000 but only if it included the furniture!
Right.
Anyway, let's take it apart.
...Then again.. for 275K of course it is what it is, not much point complaining about an awkward layout, the blue roof or plastic kitchen cabinet doors.
So it's actually a pretty good job for 275 K.. Of course: Would you actually want to live there? Talk about going native..
big time. bloody place is tiny!Originally Posted by WhiteLotusLane
^ Why on earth would anyone want ot 'invest' more than that for a house in Thailand? Seems perfectly fine for the price.
These falang garish monstrosities are an eyesore in rural settings - most often showing up the falang's lack of taste & breeding.
Breeding? Bwahahahahah!
Don't see anything wrong with it.
And we don't know if the guy is out working most of the day or any other details.
i wasn't referring to the price you well-bred intellectual giant youOriginally Posted by watterinja
just seems a bit small for yer average fat arsed farang
I think that paying a nominal amount for a small house should be great for both the falang & his partner. She gets a roof over her head - he gets a place to stay & limits his losses should the relationship go south.
Good deal all round.
very cheap indeedy....amazing the price contrasts here with the west.Originally Posted by ChiangMai noon
Nothing wrong with a modest little home if its comfortable and suits your purposes IMHO.
One thing I would add if it was me is a rather large covered patio out the back. Somewhere to sling a hammock up and entertain guests/Thai family when they come over.
There appears to be quite a bit of wood in the building so I suspect he may have demolished an older place on the block.
looks fine to me, dont really know why people spend a few million baht on a condo in pattaya
The living room is small yes, but the bedrooms are actually quite spacious.
How much space do you need?
I live basically in my computer room and my wife lives in the bedroom that we have the tv in.
the living room is pretty much used as a lobby.
^ That's par for the course for a few of us, I'd bet...
Our large TV is in the living room, so the missus lounges there, and me in my workshop with the com stuck in a corner.
And I thought I was the only one who has been subjected to this fate!
Incidentally, have a wild guess which room was 'overlooked' during renovation and left as-is because the 'chang' had other commitments?
totally agree, cant belive you can get a nice little place ofr that much amazing!!!Originally Posted by watterinja
let me just get this right that house costs around £4250 amazing thats half what ive just paid for my motorbike. or a 30th of what i paid for my flat in uk
im living in the wrong place
The bloke that lives there is as happy as a sand boy.
Also, Navy, get this - council tax costs him 10 baht per month
