Thanks Todd. I have had 7 enquiries so far today with others saying they will contact me at some point. So I am now getting quotes for the basic set up of services and security (that the village will insist on). Set up costs likely to be $500 to $1,000 per site. We harvested they rice yesterday and got about 3/4 of a ton of un milled rice, with the help of friends and family. It was the way it always used to be in most places around the world, which is far better than using contractors.

Love the positive vibe that Chris wants to build but that great utopia, short term hippy heaven, has been tested and tried for close to 100 years in various nations and proven not to work (in the long term)...I'd rather take a plot of land and make it what I want, not what the collective thinks is ideal, and be solely responsible for growing my own food, cleaning my toilet, my kitchen, and not wait for my neighbor to get around to it. Pay the 500/year and rely on myself. I know, I've been living in communist China for more than 24 years. That said, what Chris has is a beautiful fertile property that can sustain off-the-grid players for a long time...sort out the visa's...and make a mad dash for Laos.

[@ianscott424]

As someone who has just knocked down the old family home and is building a 4 bedroom house... I'm now in for just over 10k USD, with maybe another 3 or 4k to go before construction is done - including paving the yard and painting. Construction costs in Laos are nothing. I have found that tiling and cabinets are the most expensive part of builds. Ceilings if using gyproc are up there - electrical insulations aren't the cheapest either- but the actual shell of a building in terms of putting in a floor, roof and walls doesn't amount to a lot.

Your right "whatever is going to happen is going to happen". So the logical thing to do is to live where bad stuff is less likely to happen. Storm damage is less likely, as is war, community disintegration, over crowding, and food insecurity. There are few places you can name that can say all of that about them.
