How Much Did Our Tiny House In Thailand Cost?

[@gofindyourself6568]

I find your videos remarkably generous and free of agenda or self-promotion. Such a rare experience. I wrestle with the level of courage it took to go your own path and leave the conveyor belt so many of us find ourselves on in the west. you also share with us some of life's most precious (and sometimes private) moments on your journey. all I can give in return is genuine thanks and gratitude.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you for this comment - it made my evening 🙏🙏

Agree 100% lovely blog and family

[@thelostphotographer1438]

I have sold all my possessions in Australia after 5 years of my Thai wife and chid being here with me, she travelled back to thailand a few months ago and I will be in rural thailand in January. Yes it is a huge step but not really, you only get one life here and as I have said to all my friends and family (most of which who are supportive) just have a crack! life is for living, don't say "I'll do that tomorrow because tomorrow never comes. I am 48yo and my plans were to head to thailand at around 60-65 yo to retire but recently with the way I see the world changing my option is just have a crack now.

[@jasonjudkins2056]

@@thelostphotographer1438I’m like you mate turning 47 next year and don’t see myself working in Oz until 60 let alone 67, place is going backwards, middle class are expected to pick up the tab for people who refuse to work and a government that doesn’t spend our money very well, Only thing that keeps me here is that t I want my Thai step children to finish school here and for them and my wife to get Australian citizenship, which is still another 4 years. Then hopefully I can live in my wife’s village working the rice fields or sitting overlooking and fishing in the pond, good luck with your move.

You built a home for yourself and how you like it. It’s amazing

[@josephduncan5655]

Ryan, your home is beautiful, almost as beautiful as your family. Have a great evening, Joe from indiana, USA

[@11B3RDID]

That house and what you built is awesome. Great job.

[@ProductionJunction1]

Can ask what material you used on the concrete blocks to make the outside walls white? They look Mediterranean- very lovely.

[@persistanceisresistance]

out door kitchen is normal and a great idea on so many levels....

[@faranghomes]

Beautiful tiny house 😍 Congrats both!

[@johnmcvey7014]

I just watched this video from beginning to end, and I would like to say I found it remarkably professional, very concise and well balanced. I've seen many property tv programs in the UK who use a team of presenters, cameramen, sound engineers, producers, script writers and editors etc. You have managed to put this all together single handedly showing how talented you are in many fields, organizational skills, project management, communications, design, and plenty more stuff. You are obviously a very employable person with abilities that could easily demand big sums of money (or run your own business), but you have chosen a simple life and simple way. Congratulations! 🤩

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thanks John - appreciate it brother 🙏🙏

[@tomdurover]

This is absolutely amazing, such a beautiful place!

[@selaconte]

I'm married with Thai and living in US right now, but we are looking our options to move there in the future...Congratulations and Blessings to you and your Family🙏🙏🙏

[@ramsoncole4605]

What a gorgeous house...I would literally copy that.

[@BrandenLesko]

Incredible unique build for a budget price...it looks amazing! 👍

[@sjoankel1826]

Your house is absolutely beautiful with good taste in decorating ! Well done !

[@ThailandThomas]

The house is just beautiful Ryan. Great job. Hopefully I will be building a home in Ban Phai soon. Your home build videos have been inspiring. Thanks mate.

[@TraderMate]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown mate. Builders alcohol expense gave me a chuckle.

[@charleshunter1954]

...and having a smart Thai wife (like me) is also a major asset... Great work. Good vids. A lot of work made to look easy !

[@mikegray8776]

Hey Ryan, Great video - and superbly detailed costing. I used to do this stuff for a living, in a previous life - and I’ve rarely seen cost breakdowns so well done. It constantly amazes me how people can “consume” TOTALLY FREE and interesting material …. then criticise or disparage it !! But that’s the moaning 10% for you. Much less those who can’t work out what “furnishing” (as distinct from fittings) might cost ??

[@AmericanInThailand]

Fantastic touches inside and out. Love that bathroom vanity! Great drone edits!

[@gumubear]

Hey Ryan, great video, your cottage looks amazing, also made our way to this after watching you and Paddy swap lives for the day, really interesting watching cheers

[@craigstrike3023]

Mate, you guys have done a great job, you both have good taste

[@brentonvaux2981]

Love your build well done to you and family now enjoy

[@carlosfandangos8831]

The house build is awesome bro,as we all know majority of living is outdoors but you have created a beautiful family home for years to come.much love and respect brother ,rock on

[@angelo_holism_shamanism]

Thank you so much. Inspiring for our project. Love and light to all of you.

[@alangraham4526]

Great job and totally suitable for your personal needs and likes, hope Damo gets better soon!

[@graemeaylward8313]

Thank you so much Ryan for this grand finale to the cottage build series. You are an amazing family who take everything in your stride. The cottage is a fantastic addition to your estate and you and Damo can be rightly proud of the outcome. It is beautiful. Praying that Damo will feel better soon and that she delivers a healthy Hugo soon. God bless you all always. Wishing you all a very Merry and Blessed Christmas. "May you be filled with the wonder of Mary, the obedience of Joseph, the joy of the angels, the eagerness of the shepherds, the determination of the magi, and the peace of the Christ child. Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit bless you now and forever.”

[@martinomelbourne2714]

You explained that very well Ryan and well done to you and your wife for achieving this. Nice vlog I enjoyed it.

[@GoogleEyes]

Looks beautiful, what a great job.....You're so lucky with your family, I wish you nothing but happiness

[@james6513]

These videos are fantastic. I can’t believe I only came across your channel this evening. This is something we want to do over the next 2 years so we can escape having a bar in Pattaya in the next 5-10 years. I will definitely keep watching.

[@keto69101]

It's worth every penny, beautiful home. I love it ...

[@fabriziovenier2126]

Fantastic job guys.. Well done and congaratulations!! Enjoy it 😊

[@mattalford389]

Looks great Ryan! Thanks very much for the cost breakdown. Sounds about right 👍 You get a lot for your money in Thailand. I think that's what people can't believe!! It's so cheap compared to the West.

[@nongen1234]

Very interesting, and very good to have everything included Good work and it looks stunning Time for one more in the family

[@Geoff-s7p]

Absolutely beautiful. A testament to the skills of Thai builders

Thank you so much for showing everything . I plan to retire in Thailand, is a beautiful house and gardens all good pet

[@zzzzzach]

Nice build Ryan. I think it looks great. Prices here in Kanchanaburi province are similar. It might be worth mentioning with the price here that you are using quality materials and there are options. It will be interesting to see how the ceiling hold up if there is any leak in the roof. I have seen this before. Did you build any precautions into that? Anyway, well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@helendymock8265]

Very detailed and it's appreciated. So beautiful.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you! 😊

[@TheWayner987]

It's a beautiful job done. I think all the cluster of buildings goes well together. The costs not crazy expensive either. Always thanks for sharing your journey, best regards to Damo best of luck with a smooth delivery with Hugo! Happy Holidays to you and the family 👍💞

[@krazywally5685]

That's a beautiful home you and Dano have created, well done 👍😎

[@thomday1016]

Thanks for the update, we are building soon, something modest and about 65sq mtr. Your video helps a lot. Praying for your wife and family.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you and good to know they are helpful :)

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

I think your homestead is beautiful. So artistic and attractive. With electricity, plumbing and air conditioning you have a very comfortable life in an attractive setting. Building standards are very different, but given what appears to be a solid base, it will make a home that will last a long time. In Canada, and throughout NA, we tend to build disposable homes. They may have a stronger foundation, but the structure is just wood sticks with some cheap skin over top. After 30 years they get torn down and replaced. And they cost a lot.

[@georgekreigsman8795]

Ryan, Great little cottage. Thanks for sharing the cost. Watching the construction videos was very informative. Best wishes to you, Mo and Otis. Hope your parents are enjoying their visit.

[@davidramsy3048]

That is simply Amazing so low cost.and a lovely home.

[@craigoshotwheelsandstarwar4524]

A Stirling effort all round, mate 👏 👌 👍

[@mikegray8776]

The cottage has turned out stormingly well, and the finishes seem really excellent quality and sit very well together. Given a blank floor plan, no two families would come up with the same project - but the main consideration is (as you said) that this one achieves exactly what YOU wanted. I, personally, did not think the stairs and the mezz would work in such a tight area. …. I was wrong!! They have actually ADDED to the ambience of the living area! Well visualised, you two! Best wishes to Damo (and Hugo) for a trouble-free ‘process’ from here 🤞🏼

[@ThaiTeaBKK]

Nice House! Looks Very Cozy.

[@francislee3026]

Been following you damo and little otis on your journey your house looks amazing hopefully in the next few years will be moving to isaan for a quite life like you have keep up the good work👍

Well done Ryan and congratulations to your new house. Great breakdown of all the costs and I am impressed how cheap you could build, decorate and furnish. Looks all good to me.

[@memesissydollar3080]

What was the total amount it took to build and furnish ? Blind lady here

[@kenhoffmann3523]

Ryan and family, As always, I enjoyed this vlog very much. My soon to beThai wife and I look to retire to rural Thailand after my retirement. Watching this video gives me some kind of idea what expenses we will be looking at. I am looking forward to your video on rural land prices and purchases. Wishing you, Damo and Tis the best through your family addition and the holidays.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you Ken - wishing you both all the best brother 🙏

[@jonklause5130]

It came out amazing you have great taste.

[@Robbie9he]

Brilliant enjoyed the whole build, we only did not agree on the staircase, a home in paradise!

[@valleyofsvens]

Great breakdown of all the costs! Thanks for sharing 😁 Hope Mo is getting better soon. Looking forward to see the little one.

Beautiful House.Nice designing.made moody the tropical house in the jungle.It's informative for western guys who married with Thai women.Have a nice day.

[@paulrenwick6231]

Hi Ryan Love the house. With regards with one of my comments on one of your previous videos concerning the toilet system, I have noticed you have had it turned around into the right position in this video 😀👍

[@rogertaylor6901]

Congratulations on your fantastic cottage you have done a great job and having built my own house in Thailand I think your costs are spot on and similar to my build.😃

This is the video I’ve been waiting for. Nicely done too. Thank you

[@henryfong3471]

i'd add a hand rail at the stairs as for safety. Especially for the elderly. But other than that very , very, cheap. And stunning.😊👌👍

Great video, Ryan! And much appreciation to Damo for putting the numbers together! Very informative and useful information! And great looking house!

Love it, such a beautiful home! Will the kids sleep in the loft while they are young? Do mosquitoes bother you when cooking outside in the evening?

[@DeanoRav]

Greta video. The house looks wonderful!

[@cjr020]

Hi Ryan. Did you use a contracting company to build the structure or just hire some locals? We have been talking to some small local building companies in Chaiyaphum and have been getting estimates that are 3 to 4 times higher than what you are indicating here. We're trying to figure out where we're going wrong. Thanks!

[@feusti01]

Great and informative vlog - we really like your cottage and how you guys manage to stay close to your budget estimation. We'll done 👍

[@DirtRoad4x4]

Great explanation Ryan, Interesting for us as Wassana is keen to build something for herself in Ban Kruat close to her family. I know she would love to be home for 6 months and back in Australia for the rest. I hope Damo is feeling better, Hugo will arrive soon. All the best mate 🇹🇭🇦🇺🙏

[@margarettownsley9500]

Fabulous vlog Ryan like you say you build how use wanted it I think it’s beautiful and perfect ‘ wishing demo well with a safe delivery can’t wait to see this little man joining the family and Otis I’m sure will be ever so happy with his little brother Hugo thank you guys

[@ActionFigureResource]

Great series, love the cottage and excellent job on breaking down the costs. Just an idea, how about selling your plans? I would be interested in buying one so that I can use it as a "template" and make changes were I would like to.

[@andrewhyland9212]

Individual home created by yourself for that price is superb value, plenty of room to expand as you said. Sit back and enjoy it now.

Hope Damo is well. All the best.
