Hi Paul...great video and breakdown of costs... How is the quality of the build 18 months later any issues? I am looking to build in Suphanburi too in the next year.. Cheers ^+^

[@paulaor5195]

Everything is still in great condition. I'm impressed with the quality of the work.

[@contourgraphics6655]

Great! You gave the cost of everything but the Architect. Can you tell me how much that cost?

[@paulaor5195]

We paid 5,000 baht for our plans.

[@contourgraphics6655]

@@paulaor5195 Wow! That is really cheap. I have been quoted much more than that. Can you tell me what Architect you used? Thanks

[@paulaor5195]

He is Local. Are you looking to build the house in Supan Buri?

[@contourgraphics6655]

@@paulaor5195 No, but that should not be a problem. I could have him make the plans, and then I could build the house from those plans anywhere. I could also come to Supan Buri to consult with him prior to him making the plans.

[@paulaor5195]

@@contourgraphics6655 Ok. You can talk to him about details. His name is Art. Phone No. 081 986 7486. (He speaks Thai only)

[@paulaor5195]

Thank you 😊

[@SimonPlatt]

It's a lot of fun, isn't it!

[@denyswoodroffe490]

It would be easier to follow given full screen.

[@livingin2worlds137]

Do you live in Thailand for part of the year or is house for family. We live in 2 countries and I am interested if you do as well

[@paulaor5195]

It's family's house but we travel there when we can.

[@jampasurprenant1794]

The only thing is if we can see the full screen would be nice.

[@mattivirta]

tile work has totally wrong ,someday all tiles bush to up because not have 3mm gap.

[@kurniawan5723]

Why a lot of Thailand peoples built Wooden house than concrete house?

[@paulaor5195]

I think in the past wooden houses were cheaper and the material was easier to find. Easy to build and rebuild. I think now wood is more expensive. Concrete homes are more popular I believe. We built our house from concrete because I think it will last longer than wooden house.

[@kurniawan5723]

@@paulaor5195 but some peoples said Wooden cheaper in Thailand than concrete. Which one Is true?

[@paulaor5195]

Tired of these types of videos. Farang cannot own land hence no house. Stupidist financial decexion one could make entrusting your fate to the whims of your "partner".

[@nigelbleddfa]
