Hi,can foreigners buy lands in Thailand?
No but you can buy a condo or townhome where you don't own the land it sits on.
@@paradigmsend8007 Thanks
@@multipolarworld. You can also do a superficies agreement with a Thai in which you agree to have ownership of a house or land for 30+ years, thanks
Sawadee Kop, I have built in the USA & Thailand where I have a home. Folks it is not built wrong!!! It is built the Thai Way. In the west we pay for Zoning Laws and over kill on building. Trust me it is a pleasure to build and do business in Thailand! They have buildings over 2000yrs old. These houses are plenty sturdy and are not coming down and thank God, no carpet, we have marble floors,,,,lol. We also have different weather in Thailand which also calls for different construction materials. Great Vid!
Thank you Franco - appreciate it 🙏🙏
You are the single most interesting, well spoken western content creator in Thailand. The life you have built is enviable...
Thank you Samuel, I appreciate it 🙏
I admire your attitude towards your build, simple, yet cleaver in design. I followed the kitchen build and now your cottage
love the use of the timber posts
I'm a carpenter and joiner by trade, and have been coming up to Udon Thani for the last 17 years, and have learnt to adapt
to Thai building ways. My Thai wife reminds me that Thai building is like life itself, not always perfect
Enjoy. Dee and Gavin
Amen brother couldn’t have said it better myself 😁🙏
Interesting. I am going to Thailand soon. But how about the security? ua-cam.com/video/RehBkK3jgAc/v-deo.html
I think you'll find the weight of concrete compacts the soil once poured so the wire winds up higher in the concrete than it first appears.
Yea good point
Post beam construction in the West is very similar. The footers are poured and the building is completed and then the floor is poured. Nice house!
Cheers Gary 🙏🙏
Looking very good Damo. It was smart of you to send Ryan out of the country so he would not be running around nattering things up while you were managing the project! grin
Exactly - but I did manage to natter her head off on video call 🙏
Hi Ryan, Damo & ‘Tis,
Great vlog and breakdown of build costs in rural Thailand. I wouldn’t worry about not using plastic sheets (Damp Proof Membrane) or the slab reinforcement not being in the middle…it will do it’s job to help prevent cracking no problem. The reinforced beams between the posts will be fine too. Your builders work hard for sure and seem organised and professional, I can’t wait to see the finished build and all Damo’s creative finishing touches. (And your input also Ryan.!). It’s almost unfair to compare build prices in different parts of the world but incredible that 56sq metres in the uk 🇬🇧 would be around £112,000 or thereabouts. (Two to three thousand pounds per sq metre depending on finish and location). My best to you all, Anthony. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks Anthony - hope you are well brother 👍🙏
Almost done with a build in Udon Thani and it has been a shock to me coming from the west. The whole lack of real plans or even a total cost (how much for the kitchen? up to you!) has been hard but learning to go with the flow.
Wish I'd seen your video before I started our build it would of given me a better heads up with what to expect. Great job! Lovely home!
Yes planning to do a do and donts vlog of building in Rural Thailand 🙏
The size of your house is easy to maintain hygiene. No need for a helper. The first thing I consider important. Divisions of rooms is homly and comfortable. Porch is absolutely beautiful. Kept the natural form of the logs.
Thank you - and also in one floor fir when we get old - we designed with this in mind 🙏😊
Thanks for sharing the breakdown on the cost of building your cottage Ryan! We cannot wait to see the end result 😊
Thank you Marietta - big love to you from us 🙏
To be honest this house will outlast 80 percent of the homes here in the US. Homes here in the US are made with cheap materials that require regular maintenance. A new home specially with fabricated sidings can start having issues within the first 5 years. Shingles are also designed to get damaged so that people can replace them even with minor storms.
I think you may be right my friend 🙏
So far the foundation of the house looks great already I can't wait to see the finished project.
Excellent build and costs. What more does any family need. Good luck As you say we are in Thailand thank Buddha
Thank you my friend 🙏
Awesome job guys looking forward to seeing the end build. Nice to see you support your local community and to those naysayers about how to build your house, hey I would live there in a heartbeat. Its not the house that builds a family but the it’s the family memories of those who live there will make its foundation strong. Oh by the way love your music choices on your vlogs guys. Take care and stay safe
Thank you Larry - appreciate it 🙏😁
Thank you Ryan, Damo and Otis for a very informative vlog on your building costs. I know there are many people who have little faith in the way houses are built in Thailand and Isaan in particular, (the naysayers who say things like "it would never pass building regs in UK) but let me say just this, they are as sturdy and weatherproof as any house I have ever lived in. When I lived in Lavenham, Suffolk, UK, the majority of houses were timber framed with wattle and daub walls, built in the 15th and 16th centuries around 600 years ago. They would never have passed modern western building regulations either, but they still survive as a testament to the local builders who constructed them. So don't knock local ways of building as the houses will probably outlive you. Note that the interior walls are built of solid breeze blocks and not partition walls of plasterboard and wood. They are therefore termite proof! God bless the three of you and I look forward to seeing the finished cottage. 🙂🙏
Thank you Graeme - yea we are happy with it 😁 stay well brother 🙏
I really enjoyed this video. So interesting to see your sweet home come together like this ! Continued good health Damo ! Love from Monterey Ca ! 💕🌷
Thank you Yvonne - hope you are well 🙏😊
Looks great and people have to remember in another country they do things different, And really you would notice that if you traveled overseas your way might not be the only way to do things many times trying to place your countries ideas into another countries only will drive you mad.
I agree 100% my wife did the building in PhoSai when I was living abroad working. The prices are way different compared to what my family paid in the states. Unfortunately there are drawbacks from that as well. The settling has caused cracks in the walls.
Well done! A loving couple is a formidable team! Take care of your healths. It is everything.
Thank you Lily and thanks for becoming a patron of the channel 🙏❤️
To put it in context i live in auckland new zealand and our so say expert builders are building appartments that after 10 years are leaking. We have a leaky building crisis where people have paid hundreads of thousands to millions and the buldings need to be knocked down. One of our so say respected building companies are still building leaky buildings and selling for millions of dollars. I have a friend who bought one of these expertly build appartments and its put him hundreads of thousands in debt and a building that no one wants to buy. What you are doing and the way you are living is the way to go. Living within your means. Well done. Thank you for the videos. Inspiring
Thank you 🙏🙏
Wow - look forward to seeing the finished touches to your amazing tiny home build... Keep-up the good work!
Thanks Daniel 🙏
I live in Issahn Thailand, 20 years ago I built a 150 sq. mtr. house using identical materials & construction tecniques. It remains as solid as the day it was built with no cracking. I think the secret is to have good quality concret with corect ratios and evenly mixed.
OMG!!! Love it... and so cheap! OK, I know where I'm retiring! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for watching and subscribing 🙏😁
That's such amazing value and looks a lovely house. I especially love the roofing tiles, the tin roofs are so loud in the rainy season. Good job by Damo and yourself 👏👏👍
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing your house build story, having been involved in the construction industry, I love watching new house builds. Yes it’s very different to Western practices, but different countries don’t have the same techniques or regulations. Its a beautiful house, and for the costs involved it’s absolutely brilliant.
Can’t wait to see it all finished it will be Amazing 😊
Thank you so much for showing us your build, it has been very helpful for us, my wife our son and I will travel to Korat at the end of the year to start our build, which has caused some friction to say the least,.. an upset Thai woman is a little scary, there was talk of being hit by a bus but all is better now, but we also have a little boy so she'll need me around😁.... but if I do go missing after she reads this comment her name is Nichapa😬😵😳
Living simple life in province… Just perfect:)
Looks great. The project manager and the builders did a great job.
Yes thanks Eric - hope you are well 🙏😁
A very interesting video
You are also coming up with great ideas for your video to keep the content changing and learning, entertaining
Lots of value! Great job as usual ☆
Thank you Nick - appreciate it 🙏🙏
Great to watch such a straight guy 👦
Nice and informative video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Hans
Sorry to say but to place the slab rebar into the middle of the slab thickness, like you pointed out would have been totally wrong as you would position the rebar in a position that has the least amount of forces to take (static of a slab)- they did it right, it should just be covered by concrete, therefore, the rebar should have been lifted about 3.5 cm from the soil to ensure sufficient rebar-concrete cover ... - usually a standard self carrying concrete floor has 2 layers of rebar - top and bottom - but in this case, it is just a floor slab which is not constructed to carry heavy loads - what they did is just fine - no trouble to await!
The whole construction is well done for the purpose- don't listen too much to tips regarding western standards - you guys did it really okay! I am a Construction Manager and worked in many countries on huge projects...(Never place the rebar in the middle of the slab as there it is of near zero use)
This is good to know actually as we recurved heaps of criticism about this 👍👍👍 thanks!
You look great mate.
Damo looks lovely and healthy.
House is rocking because the brains were in charge in Thailand.
Well done ma'am.
The build was well done.
They build it fast and cheap in Asia.
Yours was fast and inexpensive.
That shows me you and Damo talk.
Well done.
It's a proper English cottage.
I like it!
Amen brother - thanks 😁👍🙏
Love the wooden posts! Thanks for the info and showing the USD. Found this very interesting and am looking forward to seeing the completion. You guys are a wonderful family!
Thank you Martie and thanks for coming on our journey 🙏🙏
Great video as usual, thank you for all the details!
Thank you!
Very cool... Unbelievable build price!
Hey brother - yeah right! We are very happy with the outcome 😊👍
Looks great! And so cheap. Gives me some great ideas for the Wife and i for a cottage one day! Thanks guys
Cheers Matt - hope you are well brother 🙏
@@lifeinruralthailand I am Ryan. Thanks for asking 👍👍
brilliant build looking forward to seeing the finished home. we have a similar project in progress. we pay the builder every month he buys the materials and just gets on with the job.
Cheers Peter and all the best 🙏😁
Looking forward to seeing part 2...thanks so much for sharing the information. We’ve sent a link to my dad...a retired builder...looking forward to hearing what he has to say.
Cheers Leigh - glad you enjoyed it 🙏😁
Looks good and the cost is way better than in the USA! 🤗
Thanks Teresa hope you are well 🙏😊❤️
Can't wait to see the final results... 👍❤️🇹🇭
Such a great advantage to build in Thailand where you have good and reliable workers.
Definitely 🙏🙏
Love it , thank you for sharing.
I have been travelling to Thailand for a few years and I'm absolutely in love with the land of smiles 🇹🇭.
I would love to move to Thailand.
❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Hi guys!
Steel has almost doubled + 30% in 3 year's now ,
As you know, We have built farm in Bang Chang (Rayong) .
Great video, Glad you are coming back ?!!!
Cheers Jason
Congratulations on your new home.
Thank you 🙏
Great video Ryan, I learned a lot. I would like to build a home in Thailand some day.
Hi Thomas - glad you liked it and hope you are doing well my friend. Now you see how cheap it is! 🙏😊
I believe the roof tiles are a good choice in Isaan.
You have high winds, but not like nearer the coast.
They should sound wonderful in the rain?
Awesome vid! Thanks for the info. I plan to do something like this one day
All the best with it brother 🙏
I was shocked and surprised that Otis Cam and Otis Project Management did not submit an invoice. I hope that you will remedy this oversight 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 perhaps at the end Andrew 😁😁
Aloha and Mahalo for sharing your dream house build with us really enjoying your channel 🌺🤙🌺
Wonderful to see and hear guys 🙏🏼

Cheers Stefan - all the best brother 🙏
Looking forwards to part 2.
Very interesting and very clear vidéos 😜✌️ thank you from 🇨🇵🗼
Thank you Justin🙏
You guys are great your fam is very cool ! thanks for sharing ur new home build , the concrete slab foundation was so so , but to be honest ur roof consttuction blows my mind , I would have insisted some type material on top of the frame with roofing paper on top of that and then the clay tiles ........... just my outspoken thought s but u guys are tops !!! all the best Ryan and Damo and Tes
Nice, we built our little 2 bedroom home here in Kanchanaburi about 5 years ago and it cost about 300k baht in total.
Amazing being able to build a home for that price I wish we could do that in the west thank you guys for sharing
🙏❤️🙏
Great looking house and a nice size👍🙏
Thanks brother 🙏😁
Not built to western standards is definitely not a problem in Thailand, we don't have snow or cold weather. Our house is built in a very similar manner to your house and we have had very few problems over the last 10 years or so.
Yes that’s how we see it too 🙏😁
Hey this is absolutely beautiful. This is my dream home . Everything is just perfect. Will you please share floor plan and your builders information? I would love to begin my project. I would really appreciate it .
Bloody good job mate
Cheer Terry 🙏😁
thank you for sharing the valuable information. Cheers, looking forward to part 2.
Cheers Arnold - stay well brother 😁
Wow... Fantastic house and Damo managed the whole thing.... nice... and a VERY nice bargain... Give me coffee and I can do just about anything.... Love to see your projects... 🙂
Thank you Shannon 🙏😊
Kudos to you and Damo for your wonderful life choices. You are a good person, a great father and an excellent partner for Damo.
I have been building passionately all my life . . . building dreams on micro budgets.
I don't see too much of a problem with the workmen not lifting the steel . . . concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension, so placing the steel close to the bottom is correct in your build. The very wet concrete would have penetrated the fill soil sufficiently to encapsulate the steel.
If you are ever up in Fang, you are welcome to see what my partner and I built with our own two hands.
Thank you Mark - appreciate it!
There are many ways that concrete is poured even here in wet Washington state. Sometimes the wire is used, sometimes plastic sheets, other times over bare ground. And these are all concrete outfits that have been doing it for many many years. Many garage floors are poured after the house is built even.
🙏👍😁
very nice house!!! Yes it might not be built as the same in the west but Thailand has building that have been standing for decades. Great job and congratulations on your new house!
Thank you Kevin 🙏🙏
unfortunately i seen many small local build sites put the rebar direct on the ground in Los, it seems to be the standard ;) anyway, good luck with the new house, its looking great
Your builders have done an amazing job, .looking great, take care
Thank you Audrey 🙏🙏
Definitely excited!
My garden room at the end of the garden cost more than that 😂 looking good ✌️🙏
Thanks so much Ryan & Mo & Tis ... I'm learning a lot... I've been thinking of making my small future retirement ranch home in Rajburi country land lot in a few years down the road and this video is sure very useful. The house looks really nice and cozy. Happy family and Happy New home to you all.
Thank you and good luck with your plan 🙏🙏
So the place looks real good and your management team is doing a excellent job managing the project actually interesting watching how people building style are so much different
Thanks Matt 👍🙏
Wow. That's amazingly cheap for what has been done so far.
It's going to look amazing when it's finished.
Congratulations to you both for the up coming addition to your family.
Thank you james appreciate it 🙏
Nice upload . Just finishing my build in Buri ram... My builders used spacers to elevate the rebar when pouring the floor.. No additional cost.. That said my build is 1.4 Million baht. However I went high end with fixtures and fittings.. Still amazing value for money.. If you ever pass through Lahansai . Look us up at the Magpies Nest !!
Cheers - is magpies nest a cafe?
@@lifeinruralthailand The chosen name for our homestead. I am a huge Newcastle United fan. 🏁👍
Lovely video. Informative and well produced. Agree the orange tile roof fits in and is beautiful
Thank you 🙏😊
This is fantastic mate, I like your style - particularly dealing with things in Thailand, just landed back in Surin and prepping to build so this is a most interesting and helpful video - thanks very much for making it.
Hey Nathan - glad it was helpful 🙏👍
Great job
We did a similar build last year in
Noo Was Saw village
Fit out & utilities
Are a matter of choice
Take care
Enjoy
Keep smiling ✌🏼🏴
Cheers Keith 👍🙏😁
@@lifeinruralthailand keep going
It works out eventually
We got deals from promotions on the big kitchen items
And this week installed an AC unit in the bedroom
If you pass through Udon Thani district
Call in
Looks fantastic guys. So affordable indeed.
Cheers Dave 🙏🙏
Can't wait to see wots your with the floors .....
Great video Ryan.
A lot of this building style isn’t conventional to me, but that’s why I like watching. Just different ways of doing things around the world. Its interesting. I also really like the faux bamboo roof tiles btw, great choice!
Cheers Rob 👍🙏
My New home in Bang Sare we put Black Plastic under the slab to stop rising Moisture which is a huge problem with a clay soil
The Paint and cement render will crumble over the years with no plastic membrain.
your cost of 4,100 Baht per sqm is fantasic.
Be reet 👍
Looking great. It’s going to be beautiful when it’s finished!
Cheers my friend 👍🙏
Wouldn't stand a hurricane, but neither would a home in the west. As for the poured posts in the ground .. there's no basement so...poured slab after in not an issue..if you can make a life there...more power to you...cheers..
Fascinating. Great video.
Thank you Jessica 🙏
Great informative video 👍🏻🏴
Cheers Andrew 🙏
I love the idea of such a small house but I couldn't live with the foundation and the concrete floor like that. Always done it our "nomal" way. Rather pay a bit more than not getting it out of my head. But it's a nice concept.
Bloody you tube has kept you off the screen. So glad to see you again. Back home to Thailand in November. Hope to arrange to see you then. Stay safe. Terrance Thung Saliam. Ps. Lovely build
Welcome back Terry - yes we noticed this too 🙏🙏
Cool . This is very useful as i am currently building a house in North Thailand or rather my builder is doing it for me. I am paying 1.1 m bhat for everything and the size of the property is 120 sqm . The price is thought to be very good for an area near Chaing Mai and works out as 9k ber sqm which is very good for round here. I should say that my build includes windows , doors front and rear stair access and a raised not flat roof . It is three bed with two relax areas and two bathroom/shower rooms one of which will be fitted with a jacuzzi. It also includes all basic tiling but i am paying extra for upgrades to the doors ,windows and floor and wall tiling. I will also upgrade the lighting and kitchen . I can recommed Dohomes for furniture, fixtures and accessories they are very competitively priced compared with alternatives like Global House. Good Luck with the rest of the build and message me if you want to know more. I should say the builder is a member of my wifes extended family and we are lucky to have him as he is very much in demand and often charges a lot more. I am a Teacher so this is a long term base for me and like you I am originally from the UK.
Cheers Andy
I love the buy locally thang - amazing!
🙏😁👍
Lovely! My wife is trying to talk me into building us a new house up here in Chiang Mai province. I guess I should show this to her. We don't have the skills to be building supervisors, though.
My prediction is 500K THB or less. Under $15,000 USD.
900K THB!
6,500 USD is my guess
Omg you Yost look like my brother omg the same you have a twin here in Springfield Massachusetts the smile evething ❤💯🙏
Enjoyed this vlog. As you know you get what you pay for and if you're happy, no one elses opinion counts. Best of ljck.
The vertical columns and horizontal channels are very common outside of Europe the US and Canada. The cinder blocks or bricks or adobe that is used in Asia and Latin America is not always mass produced with a consistent level of quality. That is fine because a wall could be punched out or eroded and probably not harm the structure. I have seen 100 year old houses built that way.
As for laying down plastic. Houses in the US will have this, but not for the garage. For a couple of bucks and a little hindsight, I would do it if I ever build another house. But if you are not air conditioning it, you are not really pulling out much moisture. Dry air in the house in good for the books, clothes, bedding, etc.
Less rooms for the square footage was an option.
Your house looks nice. A beautiful wife, cute kid, nice home, be happy.
WOW. Well done guys. Looks great. 👏👏👏Is this built recently 2022. We are thinking of doing something similar in a village outside of Buriram
Cheers Jon 👍😁🙏
Are the materials at present costs.
