New to TeakDoor - Kuwait resident, PhiMai Landowner, Sukhumvit Soi 1 Bangkok Home

[fred]

Hello all.

I'm new to the forum but a good friend from Rayong said that this was a most useful place to share info and gain some wisdom from the experience of long timers in the land of smiles. I've been in Kuwait now for 3 years trying to make up for the lack of salary working in the teaching world of Thailand. I thoroughly enjoyed working in Bangkok and in Naklua but the salaries of Thailand just don't give teachers what they need if they marry and then start making plans for a land purchase and building. Kuwait is another story - hard work, have met some magnificent people, and have been paid a fair wage. Since I left Thailand (3 years this March) I have been able to purchase 3 rai 1 ngang (please excuse my spelling if I missed that) river front on a paved road in PhiMai, 5 minutes from the PhiMai Inn. The land cost us 600,000 baht and is already cleared but will need some serious landfill being on the river. I still have the apartment on Soi 1, Changfong House, and figure the rent is less than a storage house and was home for 5 years while living in Thailand. As my wife and I work on the home building planning and task I will post what I learn and experience and will certainly try to learn as much as I can from the members of this forum. I leave it at that and write more when I have something worthwhile to post. Thanks for your time.

Well, if he is from Rayong, then he is OK, listen to him.

Welcome Fred. Good luck with getting some landfill for your land. Hope you don't get into rubble.
