Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лют 2024
- 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.

Foreigners can't own land in Thailand so most guys here buy/build in ther Thai partner's name. Many do it and although there is risk, the reward in most cases outweighs that risk. Alternative methods and info below.

Remember the old saying, "Don't buy a house for the view unless you own the view"
True, 10 rai might be a bit pricey lol. Been lucky so far. 👍🍻
You got a point here.
Especially in Thailand for expats.
Don’t buy a sea view house because u don’t own the sea 😂😂😂😂 u farangs are ridiculous 😂😂😂😂
Unless the view is the ocean

What a paradise. The house is perfect and the area is beautiful. You are living my dream
I stumbled upon your videos and must say they are excellent. We have just finished building a house in chiang rai and hope to move fully in the next few years.
Cheers Patty, appreciate it. All the best with your future plans.👍🍺
Always a great house tour…. Great tour of your village and outlying area. 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed it. 🍺👍
Cool drive around your neighborhood.
That looked great for the price. It's interesting to see the more remote areas are getting developed. Cheers James !
Cheers Paul. Hope all's well. 👍👍🍺
Well Done James. Enjoyed that Thank you. I liked the Nordic Style House. All the Best.
Cheers mate. Appreciate the positive comment. 👍🍻
Hi James, thank you, enjoyed that … a nice little distraction from reality ! Always enjoy your videos, you take care 👍😉
Cheers mate. Appreciate it.🍺👍
Wow.. this one gone a little viral 😮 Nice one mate 👍👍
Always the ones you least expect lol.👍😁🍺
great vlog. Nice to see the local area. Interesting to see the locals houses are all on stilts -floods. all new new stuff is ground level........Any way next weekend lets see you at the top of that mountain mate fitness challenge haha
Cheers. Did a vid up that mountain already. Nice view.👍🍺
Always enjoy catching up with you James and love your channel. I really liked this place, spot on mate. I agree with you, its definitely one of the nicest homes I've seen in a while. Take care and cheers from Australia mate.👍🍻
Cheers mate. Appreciate the kind words.👍🍺
First ive seen this channel today...subscribed 😊
Cheers, glad u like the channel.👍🍺
I would never buy a house in Thailand because of the residency requirements
Depends on your circumstances really.👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 Its just not feasable under current laws
I know foreigners that got kicked out of the country because of covid. One guy had a condo and 2 businesses running and he lost a fortune while he was forced out. Theres no way you can invest money in a country that will do that to you
Nice video James.Thank you นะ.ครับ
Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it.👍🍺
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
Good morning. Good to see you again.😊👍
Cheers Mate, hope you're well.👍
@@jamesabroad8589 yes sir family is good and all in good health.😊🙏
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.
Very nice and remote out there.👍
Thanks James. Hope you and family are well. For the price that is one of the better designs (western) that we have seen. Very tidy, light and clean finish. Many thanks.
Cheers Kerry. Yes, I liked the feel of the place. All the best.👍🍺
It's nice to have some development in your area, as long as they are not building next to you.
More modern infra is never a bad thing. It's not going to become crowded and messy like Bangkok or Pattaya.
I certainly hope not lol. A few developments here and there is okay.👍🍺
Sean King's wish was more of a "Shack on the Beach" rehab of rundown resort! & he is always incredibly "Upbeat" whereas yer actual James philosophy is Ha!Ha! "Downbeat"...."I've never been a fan of Beaches!" just cracks me up LOL
Yeah, that bit was hysterical.👍👍
Just discovered your channel James..Excellent loved your coverage of this house..I have subscribed and will be viewing your other vlogs..Cheers from🦘🦘🦘👍🏻
Cheers John, appreciate it.👍
Wow. Stumbled upon your channel. Loved this content and your exposure of it. Thoroughly enjoyed it. This Appeals to me as when Retirement age rolls around , one looks at A home base with outlook of travelling 9 months of the year. I agree with you. Isolation is more appealing, than rolling ocean and the masses. Wonderful Video Mate. My brother wants Vietnam. So I'm still kicking tyres.👍👌
Cheers, glad u liked the video. We are in the minority preferring rural living, but I do love coming back to my place after being in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. 👍🍻
House wasn’t too bad actually; your town reminds me of far east side of Bangkok (where my wife’s mum is from) - but 25yrs back 😎😎 Take care mate, good to see the house vids are back 👍
Cheers Simo. 👍🍺
AWESOME HOUSE👏👏👏♥️😋
Looks like a great value
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. Down here by the sea land prices are crazy with a rai no view fetching 6 million and selling. But we will see out our days in Chiang rai James like peace and quite and away from party islands lol.
My Thai wife says second hand houses are perceived as having the last owners luck, if it’s being sold luck wasn’t good
Agree mate, I prefer the peace and quiet of the North bar the odd wood saw and cockerel lol.😁👍🍺
@@groundsmen1 Good logic I suppose but maybe lucky old owner is buying bigger house because he won lottery lol.....But Thais are a superstitious lot for sure.
@@jamesabroad8589 Its funny a Burmese couple moved here close by with 3 fighting cocks. They crow all night daytime they sleep lol.
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.
Can’t see no pink on the fence, but good to soo you mate … like the place too, may be a bit reclusive for me though
thanks James very informative exactly the budget I am interested in and the properties looked exceptional value for money keep up the good work mate
Cheers Nigel. Glad you liked it.👍🍺
You will only own 40% of the Building and you will not own the Land its built on , Suggest you Google the Property Laws in Thailand and talk to a independent Financial Property advisor first,
Yep, but once guys are here a while and have a stable relationship they realise they can build a nice place with a little pool for between 40-60k. If from UK where house prices are insane it's worth the risk especially if u divorce there and own a property. Some just want a base for a few months so buy on these types projects. Alternatives are also available if u do your homework.👍🍺
@@daidavies6210 That is why it is better to rent for most people
I feel your pain brother...we also have some new neighbors nearby in back of us a ways and they have built a new 'knockdown' house as well...from the same company u were at for our house...I posted a video recently of it....time changes everything yeah!
Yep can go either way with new neighbours. We've had problems in the past. Hopefully your neighbours are okay. Good luck mate.🍺👍
The display home is always the best built, by the most experienced contactor.
I think this will be the standard finish for the entire project.👍
Lovely house brilliant price,but one thing that makes my skin crawl is Snakes,been to Thailand a number times the last time we went a blxxdy huge python fell out of the tree we we laid under,never ran so much in my life, plus lived in North Cyprus for 14yrs but never got used to seeing snakes each day on our property,so we came bqck to the UK.❤
That "A" shape design seems to be all the rage now. I have kind of dismissed it as just another trend but having now seen inside a house through you, I have had my mind changed, at least partially now. I notice rural parts around here getting more and more popular too and there is a lot of building happening on land that was just rural nothingness 3 or 4 years back. Like you it coincides with proper roads and electric being fixed in many cases 👍👍
Yep, cheaper land outside towns is being developed fast especially last 5 years. Hope all's well.👍🍺
Be safe and careful.😊👍🙏
James Super!! Content.. Geezer 😎 Wow those prices im kind of aware
With the rural side it really gets you thinking 2 mill 1.5 mill what with the crazy obscene market prices here in the UK. Buying+rental absolutely mental 😱
Mate the monie side its amazing i often look with great interest ! More to the south (exactly more expensive) understandable. 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. James.. Thanks for sharing great content as usual spot on👍 As the dream continues..All the best mate 🙏
The house looks great and as you say, we'll designed except for one glaring omission which would be particularly important to a falang buyer and that's no air-conditioning.
Some houses include Aircon. U can put in yourself no problem or ask contractor. This is a low price for land and house so margins are tight.👍🍺
I would love to move to Thailand it's my dream
Come here and experience many different places and you never know what might happen in the future. 👍🍺
Hi. Another good house tour, i really like to see the different house projects. Thanks for showing.
Cheers. Glad you enjoyed having a look around.👍🍺
Thanks James.
You're welcome mate. 👍👍🍺
Very nice, good quality bathrooms, great price about £39,000. With a pool....only two bedroom would be perfect. You have to be a Thai national though don't you to own a property in Thailand?
The lots should be bigger in a rural area. No room for a fruit trees or garden. One of the reasons to buy a house rather than a condo.House is nice but rooms have wasted space in the lay out. Show some older houses for a look.
Thanks for that. Nice to see what's going on in the back of beyond in the north. The houses seem a bit small to me with very limited storage but the prices seem to be good. I was noticing that the homes don't seem to have any gutters and downpipes to take the water off the roof when it rains. What happens there?
Don't normally come with guttering. Only seen one on my channel.👍🍺
I love to buy this house but can a foreigner buy a house in Thailand????
Come to Kenya and invest in real estate and earn a good return on your investment
Looks good
I thought it was good for the price.👍🍺
Sweet pic of u and anni.
😊THANKS FOR SHARING, BEATIFUL HOME AND CHEAP . PLEASE BE VERY CARFUL ER TO BUY A HOUSE IN THAILAND.😊😊😊😊😊
The kitchen could have had more kitchen cupboard space.
very nice
Great Stuff maybe all be your Neighbor one Day , cheers !
I'm a bit of a noisy neighbour lol.😁👍🍺
70's look in the 2020s....well places sockets, must be a farang involved.
From that picture you had shorter hair and your pride and joy was little.😊
Why does the cooker only have 2 rings? Surely 4 rings is better when cooking.
Thais aren't really into cooking indoors. At this price range you won't see much in terms of kitchen counter or cooking facilities.👍🍺
As I said all of the houses look great this is northern Thailand .
Not that I have in mind
I'm originally from Bangkok and I'm looking for a house not too far
From the capital cities.
James you want to be bizness partners let our kid's run it. Buying all them properties and double the prices!!
Not sure we'd get rid of them for 4 mil. 😁🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 I' bet from your utube community they'll all sell . At 50k an would at 75k
Thanks James for sharing this would love to be your neighbour at them prices. I would jump at it, but would have to be near a hospital just in case.
Cheers mate. No private hospitals in Tak town unfortunately. Sukhothai has a couple. All the best. 👍🍻
In the Philippines the currupt government does not allow you to build a house on rice land ..there's heavy fines
Wondering about cooling with that high ceiling? Quite a large area to cool. Would be better if it had built in robes and more storage space.
Would certainly add a bit to the aircon bill, but I liked the feeling of space. Could maybe be redesigned for more storage or mezzanine upper level.🍺👍
Well, hot air rises so maybe not all bad. Although my immediate thoughts were to put a false ceiling in, but would of course bugger the design and lighting 😉
Looks like you will be receiving many Farang neighbors soon :)
Judging by the comments, no one likes remote. Only me .😁👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 I like remote Thailand! I have been watching your videos and love those house tours. Finally subscribed to your channel :)
I may not retire for the next 10-15 years, but when I do, I will be buying or building a home somewhere in northern Thailand, on a mountain or close to a mountain.
Wow 10 hours, 5k+ views. Houses are interesting.
Not always. This one doing ok at the moment. Can never tell with UA-cam.👍🍺
Another great video james, did you get the £100 i sent you in Patrean?
Cheers, I don't have any patreon.👍🍻
It’s not Thailand without the four inch grinder and roosters
Follow me everywhere lol.👍🍺
😂
Didn't stagger the joints in *all* that tile. That'd make me crazy all day every day. Now way.
Didn't notice TBH. 👍🍺
Perfect for my cat....
TO BAD CANT OWN IT💯 RENT CHEP THAILAND 👍🇹🇭💰💵
Depends on your circumstances. 👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 YES NEED THAILAND WIFE TO OWN 👍🤣
Not always.👍🍺
@@vikingprepper9847 Thai law makes it illegal for the wife to buy, too, as a "nominee."
🤖@@vikingprepper9847
only thing missing is storage areas/ wardrobes
Yep, not often found in these lower priced properties. Thais usually use free standing wardrobes unlike the US/AUS.👍🍺
If I was your neighbor I would know someone there.😁
But on the flipside Philippines has in the province no pollution .and your not far from pristine ocean any where in the Philippines
Nice looking (and priced) homes, but lots are very small and REMOTE!!
I live here and love it. Depends on your lifestyle etc.👍🍺
how is the air quality ?
Bad in Tak this year.😓
Yea you know, I’m not too into beaches either, mates think I’m mad ??!! Oh well
We seem to be in the minority. 😁👍🍺
Interested in the ability of insulation. Is insulation utilised to limit radiant heat from the roof?
Not sure on this build, but yes there are ways to keep your house cooler. Spray foam, insulation etc.👍🍺
I didn't see any Air Con units anywhere in the house ???
They aren't fitted yet. Will certainly have 2 or 3 units.🍺👍
I'm in my 20s and want to visit so bad. Usa is draining me from my life
Great place to travel around. You never know what might happen. Good luck 👍
Just go. You won't regret it. The longer you stay the bigger bang for your buck. Stay in cheap hotels and eat local food.
I do hope the aging lady who owns the land beside your home has family that doesn’t want to sell it off. Mountain View will never be the same again. We are looking at spending a month in May travelling around looking at houses and land. Wife’s mother lives in Mahasarakam and she also has land near Kosumphisai. I wanted to look in Rayong, Chiang Rai and Hua Hin areas but it’s going to be difficult to look at everything. James, would you recommend any up and coming areas? Looking to invest around B5m but if we found the perfect house in a beautiful area we’d consider B8m. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, the view would be more than spoiled unfortunately. From what Ive seen on YT , Hua Hin seems to be the sweet spot for settling here. Chiang Mai has awful air for 3-4 months of the year. Good luck.👍🍺
nice house good price, but need be 4 car garage backyard can build own hobby woodwork shop there, and sauna to backyard. and big problem location have wrong need be non-flood area near sarakham city then i buy.
Yes agree, I liked the place. 🍺👍
💫
In that area I would buy a piece of land and build or buy an older house with mor3 land
OK James new to channel, could you tell me first house Nordic property behind you had that workers property in the grounds going to pond and road
Are they building on the back land or can you purchase, don't look if you know
Great price, but after reading at the description, unfortunately I won't be able to purchase it. I don't have a Thai partner 😔
Come here, live, enjoy and rent in places you love. You never know what might happen in the future. All the best. 👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 Thank you 😊
My understanding is non citizen can buy, but land is leased like 100 yrs.?
Don't worry mate big c have a offer on razors 2 for 1
Will get around to it one of these days lol. Hope all's well.👍🍺
Hmm I've seen bigger 2 story houses for 2M baht. I guess this one is a bit more land. Looks nice though
Only seen 2 storey townhouses in this price range. 2 storey houses are rarely below 3m from what I've seen. 👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 probably just lower quality 2 story houses that I've seen 🏘 🍺hey just finished my Leo 😂
The house is very nice. Similar to house in Nan area near to airport. We had been toured the house before. One floor house is ok. Plan to buy a house in Nan in the future
Good luck with your future plans Paul.👍🍺
Have you found any good homes for sale/rent closer to Bangkok? Or recommend a channel that might have some options?
I think thextecentcrslod decline has been due to no foreigners attrndung the country during covid...im sure the figures will take an upturn soon😅
Do you know any builders in Tak? We will be building in Ban Tak next year and looking.... keep the vids up 🙂
My builder is 84. He's still doing building projects but I don't think he builds single houses anymore. I met a guy in the next property video who I was very impressed with. He studied architecture in Bangkok and got a masters in land management in the US. his details will be in the video I'm putting up next Friday. See what you think of him and give him a call to see what he offers etc. Very difficult to find good English speaking designers/ builders here. 👍🍺
@@jamesabroad8589 Thanks, looking forward to it 🙂
How many yards is the land. Nice vid. Hindustan south.
The housing is not enough information of costing or land what I understand about the land if you are a foreigner you cannot own a land you can release them. But I'm not sure whether every providence or not.
My house in Oz is on the beach, been there 40yrs...the area used to be farmland and now it is surrounded by housing estates. I liken it to being 1st to arrive at Glasto being right at the stage then one day you turn around there are 200,000 ppl behind you and you can't go for a piss.......
Haha nice analogy mate.😁👍❤️
Not allowed to own property in Thailand only condos or apartments not on the ground level
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.👍
Do they have a septic system?
Would be nice to know how much the house cost to build without the cost of the land. The houses that's up for 1.5m that's not finished yet.
Not sure he'd let me know lol. 750k possibly. Land plot is decent size too.👍🍺
@jamesabroad8589 thanks James just gives me a idea
Its a bad ide to buy house ❤
I bought land and built house there with my missus. Worked out for me. Could have got a 25 year mortgage in UK, if divorce u lose half of something much bigger. Depends how u look at it.👍🍺
If she might be selling at some point you need to buy the property so no one builds on it.😊👍
We own the land directly next to us. Quite a high price tag on 10 rai so we'll see.🍺👍
Kitchen tile pattern would drive me mad.
Didn't notice it TBH.👍🍺
wonder if they could add a pool in the front
Maybe on a bigger plot.👍🍺
The house looks more like 80sqm. Maybe 120 including garage?
Yep, you could be right.👍🍻
I didn't see an outdoor kitchen
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.🍺👍
how many bathrooms and Sq feet is this home plan
Hey Jame you buy it and renting out make profit
