I think in most villages you can build something cheaper using local labour and material.Conrete block and steel roof truss

[@annandsaminthailand]

That’s right, it can be done, but needs an efficient builder

[@stephenhartwick2468]

I ve built two houses in a village in the North ..One about ,150 SQ Mt and another 60.I work with an experienced builder an I have some experience in building and supervising jobs.The prefab are good if you are in a hurry ..or just like the product..Someone in our village did bungalows for a small resort that way. I'm interested in my next project to do steel frame with cement board siding and flooring ..Similar to stick framing in the North America but no wood

[@joefarang]

to be fair this is a steel framed house built with modern materials - a lot of the village houses i have seen (especially the budget houses) are made with cheap and often old or recycled materials - usually cement, breeze (cinder) blocks and poor foundations - and they look like it too. i think 170,00 is a pretty fair price for these cabins - remember the manufacture has costs and also is trying to make some profit.

[@adrianferigno8334]

Did the thai guy said 1000 kilometers 2 ways towards the end of the video? Did he meant 500 kilometers to the destination ?

[@horstreichel6210]

Building a house in a village cost you around 100 000 thb with 2 rooms, bathroom, big terrace and metal roof and build with concrete and stone. Those tiny houses are for people with no ideas, connection and without DIY experience

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

Steel frames creak as it expands and contract a lot , the same when it is windy, my friend has a steel frame small house in Aus, but he gets winds up to 80km an hour certain times of the year.

[@PhilipMR223]

It sounds like your friend has a house that is not braced properly

[@LJ-bq9fy]

Read through the comments. I have heard that foreigners (Farangs) can only lease land for apparently 30+ years, but not own. That wouldn't be a problem for me but what would happen if I decided to move? Could I sell the house and the new owner would renegotiate the land lease? I am not sure about the quality and rooms layout of these pre-builds but I am very happy to see that these tiny homes are starting to be built in Thailand. I hope they keep gaining traction and soon we can see plans with 2 full storys and an upper deck, screened windows, and options for insulation. I know, insulated walls may be uncommon in Thailand but foreigners have that expectation because it holds heat, keeps cool, and blocks noise. Awesome video, Sam. Thanks!

[@annandsaminthailand]

Thank you so much for watching. Yes, good to have these houses here. Yes, I guess these houses can be shifted from location to another. So, not a problem to move them. Right, some shops can build custom houses. So, that’s easier.

[@RickiHockersmith83]

Wow! 170,000 baht = $4,998.46 USD. It's such a great deal. I am obsessed and just love tiny house with rooftop deck. I think it's cute, cozy and charming. 😍

[@annandsaminthailand]

That’s right Rick, very affordable!

[@briansouza8528]

Very interesting video. Thank you

[@annandsaminthailand]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@freizeit8117]

How thick are the walls? What isolation do they use? What are the walls covered with?

[@LifewithNgop.79]

It's very cheap but the issue is finding land that is already connected to the city's water system to put the house on. I would buy one for family in Kanchaburi province but they would have to look for affordable land outside the city limit to put the house on.

[@annandsaminthailand]

It is usually not hard to get water connection in a village, because the water is managed by the village head.

[@mezzanine3362]

in Cambodia they just make a whole deep enough so you have your own water and they have like a "traditional/rural" water filter system from stones, charcoal etc. so they have their own water.

[@LifewithNgop.79]

@@annandsaminthailand I guess that my people there are just nitpicking. I was there in May and mentioned to them about buying land outside of the village limit to build a decent home. They say that they cannot get connection to water if we were to buy land on the outskirts of the village 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@mattivirta]

my house we collect rain water 4 tank 5000 liter/tank, last 14 year i has used rainwater, tank to pump good pressure to shower, kitchen water tap, toilet, and we drink rain water and any not has go newer sick or die drink rain water, no problems. if want can buy small water filter 3-4 or 5 different filter to tap water and can use drink, cooking, and whitout filter can use all other shower,bath,toilet, garden all good.

[@mattivirta]

@@mezzanine3362 all off-grid houses uses own DIY filter, some big barrel and fill barrels filter material first rock, then washed sand, then charcoal, and if want more use filter foam material and UV light then collect water to big tank, thats used only drink and cooking, shower and toilet etc, not need filters. we used rain water not filter and last 14 year any not has come sick, clean water can drink.

[@brucewayne2773]

You got a lot of views on this one Sam 👍🙏

[@annandsaminthailand]

Right Bruce, some house related videos can do fine as they are informative videos, helpful for someone looking for information.

[@chefse5442]

How is isolation? Noicr etc? And durability. How many rainy seasons do these survive? Must be bad quality?

[@annandsaminthailand]

Insulation looked good, the area was noisy. So, cannot tell about noise and durability. Someone who is living in them can tell about the durability. So, if someone is living in them please tell about the durability.

[@mattivirta]

i not has newer seen any house in Thailand last 30 year were have insulation, not totally need anywere. and i has live and build million house in world. same spain not used insulation, and all other asian country, not totally need anywere.

[@MM-sf3rl]

The real question is: what is the R-Value in the walls, floor, ceiling and windows?

[@erikjohansen9154]

Yes seems OK however I got a twenty square metre room made attached to my house for 75,000 built by Burmese they tiled the floor put the gypsum in everything I paid for components which wasn't that much and it's made a cement solid brick and tiles so get a quote for a normal building first I would say anyway thanks for the video

[@ThailandThomas]

Nice, is the outside cement board and do the walls have any insulation.

[@annandsaminthailand]

So, this shop does have 2 kind of houses, one is the normal one's that we get usually. The cement one's are completely cemented like an usual cemented house.

[@maeeweis]

The big problem with these houses is no roof overhangs or eaves to protect the walls from sunlight. They are not designed for the tropics.

[@annandsaminthailand]

I understand

[@Searth63]

what is the overall dimensions of a thb 170k house ? Floor plans ?

[@annandsaminthailand]

I think the dimensions are in the video when the guy shows me the book with prices

[@wusen]

The man at the end said 1000 km round trip. That makes it 500 km radius, barely reaches Bangkok.

[@annandsaminthailand]

Thank you for mentioning that. I mean if the house has to be delivered far, then they can add some delivery fees after the free kilometers. It’s a good idea to get in touch with the store to get clear pricing for a specific delivery location.

[@frankk.7977]

I would take 7 of them 3 bd/bath - 1 living - 1 kitchen - 1 Storage - 1 household..... maybe another one office

They take custom orders to make a house with multiple rooms as well.

[@GarNelson1]

It would have been more valuable and informative if you would have included the Facebook link, or a Google map link in your video description, or at least the phone number. Perhaps it is just me, but I find content presenters who put pertinent information in the video description far more valuable than content providers who just swing the camera over a phone number somewhere in the video and call it good. You were at the location to make the video. Where is the location if I want to visit? You know, but you didn't bother to let anyone viewing your content know. Perhaps that would be valuable information to include in the description when you make a product promotion video.

This is great Sam. But Farang can’t own land.

A foreigner can lease a land up to 30 years on his/her name directly. The lease can be extended again up to 30 more years upon the completion of the 30 years.

My family refer to these as knock down houses...yes they are cheap and convenient..but...they had one put on land in Kanchanaburi and after 4 years of Thai weathering it is looking pretty sad, wall linings cracking, roof leaks, shifting sections....just saying...

[@annandsaminthailand]

Thank you for the valuable information. Seems like some of them are not durable, but I believe it depends more on the material used by the company.
