FANTASTIC 'THAI MINIMAL' 3 Bedroom House For Sale in NORTH THAILAND - AMAZING PRICE !!

Today I look at a great value three bedroom house for sale in North Thailand. This is just one housing project that is going up around my house and I fear there will be more to come. Will I lose my million dollar view? I take a look at other projects in the area and show you around my local village.

Correct, it is impossible for foreigners to obtain outright ownership over land and house in Thailand. Same as in Philippines.

Yes, not straight forward but there are alternatives. Some use Usufructs to protect any investment and other methods are available if u do your homework. Prices much cheaper here so, yes, most buy/ build with Thai partners. I did.👍

Really good price... My only fault with the house are those sliding glass doors leading into the master bedroom.. There isn't much of an overhang protecting the doors and when you get one of those wicked hurricane like thunder storms with alot of wind and rain there's going to be some problems with water intrusion.

Pity I can own a plot outright being a Foreigner though. Lots of concepts flying round ones head with regards to architecture. The first house is lovely... the land behind would have been lovely to set the building further back with more space behind the building line and perimeter wall. The bush behind your house may have snakes in there mate. That creature gives me the shivers..lol

Wow having built a few homes myself I dont know how they show profit at those prices. The second hand market here in Thailand is strange Thais like new and are hesitant to buy secondhand.

[@SLOBeachboy]

The problem with that first house is the same problem I have with virtually all Thai houses and that is that they all have very awkward and inefficient layouts. In fact, it's almost as if the people who designed them had no architectural training whatsoever (I have had). For example, in this house the dining area would have to serve as a living room because the actual living room is more like a foyer and there is no place to fit even a small sofa that would not be very awkward and in the way. And it's not so much the small size that is the problem but rather the way it's laid out. Furthermore, when a kitchen is open to the living or dining area there needs to be at least an island or breakfast bar to delineate one space from another. Also, this would give you some place to eat since you will need to use the dining room as part of the living room. Another problem is that Thai homes never have built in closets. With a built in you can put two staggered closets in the wall between two bedrooms which means neither closet is jutting out into the room making for a much more efficient use of space. Anyway, this house is not as bad as some Thai houses, but they always have an awkward and inefficient layout with too little space where it is needed and too much space where it is not needed. In fact, in that second house, which wasn’t that bad overall, we see that the refrigerator in not even in the kitchen and this is a common problem in smaller condos in Thailand. But even in tiny places there is no excuse for having to have your refrigerator in the living area. Its just piss poor designing.

I do understand the rural side having spent 17yrs inn and out of the Dordogne SW France mums of course!! Up untill 2018. With a local town village around eight miles either side nothing of intrest nothing in-between literally nothing. Quite similar in many respects except the heat 🔥 mind you it does hit 35degrees regularly 4 months of the year June onwards crazy climate December you could be sitting in the garden 19 degrees or it could be -3 True!! With weather warnings shutters shut shops closed as incoming storms rage with what feels like a tropical storm 100mph winds that causes havoc thunder lightning 1 hour later the sun comes back out. Trees blown down on power lines often with no power for 2-3 days 😅 James as you pointed out its not for everyone..yet wow what a dream opportunity location for somebody others to enjoy. Escape.

Those houses are CRAZY! Why? The fertility rate in Thailand will soon be 1.40. Also, Thailand's population is getting older FAST.

The countryside in Japan is filled with houses no one wants. They are empty and being given away, yet nobody wants them.) These small builders need to do their market research before building these eyesores in the first place. Great Video, as usual, however....

No, can add one I suppose. Certainly enough space at the back. 👍🍺

That looks like the middle of nowhere …..That’s why it’s inexpensive.

7km from Tak town, but yes rural location. Land here isn't that cheap.🍺👍

If she might be selling at some point you need to buy the property so no one builds on it.😊👍

[@jamesabroad8589]

We own the land directly next to us. Quite a high price tag on 10 rai so we'll see.🍺👍
