This is very good. I just quit my job in the US from the stressful politics, and watching this project makes me feel very relaxed and adds fuel to my desire to start a new life.

[@ParadiseNThailand]

Don't wait too long. As soon as you are sure you have the funds do it.

I did it backwards, I built in Thailand at 37 Im 40 now its nearly done but its a pool villa. My theory was get it done early so no hassle later in life. I’ve got assets inc house in my home land but building so young and I didn’t go cheep wasn’t easy. So now I save on holiday costs and when I come to retire I’ve got lots of options. Few highlights, all double glazed, 1600m of land 500m of living space, pool 5x15m infinity edge, build fully to European regulations.

Thanks Barry, meeting with Mark again later this week for a couple cold ones. We have requests for a follow up video once he is completed so looking forward to that. Wife and I plan to go to khon kaen the first break we get from this build. It's about a 5 hr drive. Thanks for subscribing!

Stay cool. Keep direct sunlight from the walls.

[@ParadiseNThailand]

That's the plan!

[@morninboy]

Yea I would of designed large overhangs much like the original farm houses in the area

[@americaninthailand8760]

[@ParadiseNThailand]

Wowww❤❤

[@ParadiseNThailand]

I was with Mark last night. Thank You!

[@henriverbeek6877]

Beautiful house. Enjoy it. Seems quite. I live in nonthanburi. Very crowded.

[@ParadiseNThailand]

Thanks for watching

[@simplyyounger9252]

Every time I see the new building around I wonder why people don't have the ventilated windows , it helps cooling the place down tremendously. I noticed since I was younger, the old houses that was built always have windows near the ceiling to let the heat out. Nowaday, I think the builders probably think it's unnecessary because of air-condition. Some people use wind turbine, exhausted fan, those help too. All in all, I still think that vented windows are better of.

[@ParadiseNThailand]

Vented soffits and ridge vents always worked well in the US. I am considering an fan system in mine.

[@DerekCoveart-dk8iz]

My family and I are in the early stages of doing same thing in Thailand

[@ParadiseNThailand]

Good luck, prep your wife. It will be stress filled, but it will end!

[@ParadiseNThailand]

Also, we will be doing a follow-up on Mark's house in the next couple of weeks. So, keep an eye out for that. He has done a lot of outdoor work since that visit.

[@sydhills3387]

Enjoying your vids, keep them coming. Question for you. What is the height of your retainer wall. Cheers.

[@ParadiseNThailand]

2m on two sides (rice fields) 1 m on front and small road. Thanks for watching.

[@jackncrabs7150]

Say hello to Mark on your next meet up, I worked on the Qc Lng on Curtis Island run by Bechtel he will know of it and now they are building Pluto 2 in Karratha.

[@ParadiseNThailand]

Will do. I think we are meeting for an Icey Leo later this week.

[@terranceyeo3087]

[@ParadiseNThailand]

[@Rapidlaser]

Very nice wood, almost looks like oak.

[@ParadiseNThailand]

I believe it is Teak.

[@natarinvanderby1847]

Yes the builder company same one I told you

[@ParadiseNThailand]

Yes it is. Thanks Again

[@brettjaye]

Oh dear........surely Mark has enough money to hire an architect.

[@ParadiseNThailand]

I would guess so, but some people don't like spending their money on intangibles.

[@haysjoe7432]

Total cost for Building & Land with interiors

[@ParadiseNThailand]

Wife had the land, believe he said B6mil after it all completed, with khoa pond and landscaping. We have a followup video planned for march-april when everything is completed. I'll ask him for that video.

[@JohnMartin22222]

@@ParadiseNThailandI think he’s done great for 6m, seems like a very nice grounded guy. It’s good to see.
