Hi John

Check the forums for tips on building and remember you can't own land in Thailand

You can't build yourself without a building permit, certainly if you are only getting advice and assistance from a builder.

you could set up a building company so long as it is 51% thai controlled or take achance, but as i say, read the forums

good luck
