3 Bedroom House For Sale In North Thailand (Kamphaeng Phet) - Channel Discussion/Update.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Hope all doing well. Property purchase can be complicated in Thailand so I've left useful links in the description. My FB page and my other YT channel can be found in the description too. All the best. 👍🙏

[@antonydean8063]

Hi James...thanks for showing this great video. I just joined your chanel and i wanted to exchange some more messages but not sure if you have the time with emails or should i just post a question in this space? I meet my very lovely thai lady through some friends of mine who are thai. Just before covid hit. So i couldn't get back to see her since that time september 2019. We chat every day via line app and already have a nice block of land just outside sakon nakhon. Would be great to know how far you are from sakon nakhon and will be looking for some good house builders if they can do other contracts elsewhere? Cheers James. I am from Australia south coast New South Wales. 😊

The price include the house decor like the kitchen cabinets and house lighting too?

If job permitted it, I would take this house over any number of housing units in the US ESPECIALLY at this price point. UNBELIEVABLE!

The new houses are cheap compared to the USA, but I really like the style of his house way better. I love the natural flooring and beautiful woodwork in his house. Thank you for sharing this part of Thailand.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Mark, certainly cheaper than the USA & UK.👍👍

[@arishem555]

Don't be fooled, - the quality of houses is also quite low. Plus with high humidity it will start losing it's appearance super fast. also land around house is barely enough to make a barbeque. It is not a popular place and land is not that expensive, - buy land is tiny.

[@thetdchannel]

You can’t compare these houses to the US or UK. The Thai houses are of cheap quality. They look okay from the outside and that’s it.

[@Lolitabby]

@@thetdchannel good to know I wondered this us is much more advanced in all areas if that’s where you’re comparing especially to 😭

[@thetdchannel]

@@Lolitabby Buying these houses, built by Thai builders are worse than a gamble. He is one hard FACT……Thailand has no [BUILDING INSPECTORS] in these Provinces that inspect these properties as they are being built. NONE! They turn in the drawings at the local government land office and that’s it. The plumbing is not inspected….the electrical work is not inspected, the structural test are not inspected. The bottom line here is YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE! I was told that of these Thai homes 60% have plumbing problems…..water leaks, water pressure, bad pipe fitting work. I had to learn the hard way having a Thai builder from Bangkok attempt to build our home……that never was. A one year job, and they were still not done 2.5 more years later. After educating myself and hiring an independent licensed civil engineer to inspect the structure and confirm the errors I had found along with the errors my new (non-Thai) builder found……it was jaw dropping. In the end, I had to DEMOLISH the structure and just start over. Complete disaster! We are suing in court….court trial soon. DO NOT TRUST THEM!

I always question the safety as a foreigner in any country. If I put out the cash am I really safe in this environment?

[@arthurdanielles4784]

That, is a VERY relevant question ANYONE planning on buying land et abroad should ALWAYS take into consideration. It only takes a soured political or military situation (Myanmar/Hong Kong (China)) and you can easily fall foul of new regulations, take over or from you by locals (S Africa) Lying cheating Ho Ho Ho and not one of Santa's favs (Thailand/Philippines). Legal rip offs (Spain)

Thailand is NOT the only country whose laws forbid foreigners from owning land et HOWEVER I believe that should also apply to those from ie Thailand buying land/ houses et in other countries such as the USA or UK etc 😶Do remember that the right of ownership ie buying applies not just to land et. If you were to buy a motorcycle et you will find it VERY difficult to do so in countries such as Thailand AND have true ownership.

It would be vacant most of the time. Do you know much about Air BnB rentals in Thailand? Are they allowed there?

It's a Very Nice house, both inside and out. But it felt somewhat cold and a little isolated. maybe because it was very rural in it's setting ?? IF it was a farm house i could understand. The walls close to the house certainly take away that feeling. It seems like, a bit of a money grab house. But most new houses have that feeling until people start to move in and make it feel like a home. IF you could put this house in place of your current home you live in, then this could be a Very Nice home to live in. Thanks for bringing us along for a look Peter 👍

Learning phrases and building up from there is the quickest way to get by. Learning to write and speak is the best way to master tones and the language.🙏👍

[@andrewnguyen2540]

I want to build the same style as this but in vietnam.

[@escapesjc7936]

Good little house, hopefully after the development is done and some landscaping it'll be a neighborhood to be seen. I stayed a couple of nights in Kampheng Phet they actually have some nightlife... I would have gotten parmesan cheese but you pick what you like.. enjoy 🍝

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, I like the town, not too big and great markets. Annie's not a fan of parmesan unfortunately. 👍🙏

If your a single foreigner don't bother with buying a house...yes you can screw around with a corporation purchase....but it's a hassle....a condo is a much better choice...even then prepare to take about a 30-40% hit if you even think about selling it....this is from 25 years of experience of living on and off in Thailand...

[@jamesabroad8589]

Yes, Most people that buy are couples. Leasing/company ownership is possible but complicated so advise renting for a long period of time before going down this road.

[@mmmotives7452]

I love this home design.

[@senju2024]

nice but a little too small. Would like another room.

[@spignetti]

If you buy something like that, try reselling it....damn near impossible...But it's cute...

[@daviddenham1511]

Lovely…surrounded by acres of rubble…..

[@dazdragon445]

Nice little house, but like so many Thai houses..... Almost no power outlets. Looked like one source of electric power in each room. They do love running extension cords! 555 How your good brother

[@jamesabroad8589]

All good here Daz. Yes, I didn't check in this house, but I like to have one in every corner. Hope you're well mate.😁👍🙏

[@6thwatergateplumber]

All nice, but it sucks having no closets anywhere. Kind of a drag in my view.

[@jamesabroad8589]

You don't get them in these smaller units. Thais are similar to the British, we like wardrobes lol. High end places will have walk in wardrobes etc.👍🙏

[@brendagreer2292]

Like the house but sure not the road/view/noise situation.

[@jamesabroad8589]

It's a small project, so shouldn't be too noisy.👍🍺

[@auckie]

how old is this guy he looks very young, impressive person he is.

[@jamesabroad8589]

48 mate. Never been called impressive before.😁 Cheers.👍🙏

[@scoobydog411]

Thanks James. I’m from Arizona. Looking to retire in TL. cheers…

[@jamesabroad8589]

You're welcome mate.🙏👍

[@geoffreydavies6570]

James,bog basic build but she wants Max price this is extra, that is extra I thought she was going to say the doors are extra and who wants a light that plays a tune. That would do my head in.

[@harryinhuahin1272]

I think we could be pleasant neighbours... 555.

[@jamesabroad8589]

These lights are getting popular, I've seen them on a few listings. Not my cup of tea but popular here.👍🙏

[@geoffreydavies6570]

@@jamesabroad8589 yes maybe with Thai's, but I think any Normal farang i don't think so.

[@terrywilkinson1570]

James, great to see you alive once again. Haven’t seen you for several months. Assuming omicron is defeated will be back near sukhothai by February. . Assuming the wife hasn’t destroyed the hilux will attempt to get over to see you . Stay safe and looks like the boosters in Thailand are no longer Chinese so you may survive.

[@jamesabroad8589]

Cheers Terry, Yes, not showing up in feeds but that's KZbin. Waited until they'd run out of Sinovac.😁👍🙏

[@vim1471]

How much would it cost to rent out a place like this ?

[@jamesabroad8589]

Between 7-9k THB I would think.

[@trevorhayes1079]

If you are getting water from a well I’d think seriously about installing a water filtration system

[@brianpreston8483]

I would also,

[@ThatForeignBloke]

Nice house that apart from the Gecko toilet and accompanying Bluetooth Chandalier! Otherwise I liked it 👍 Can't wait to get back to Thailand now- we fly out on Thursday so only a few days to go 😂👍

[@jamesabroad8589]

I always think of you when I see those ceilings lol. Great time of year to be coming back. I'll have to catch up on your vids, haven't been watching YT much recently. Have a safe trip.👍🙏

[@davidv.2050]

Wow! Like this one.

[@robertproietti-ricci6403]

be aware the soil there in those sites looks clay ...which means its a low laying flooding buy at your own risk

[@patrickcrusader6976]

can you lease the land land?

[@jamesabroad8589]

You can lease land here. 30+ years which can be extended twice I believe. Depends on the owner though.👍🙏
