We are going to document our up's and downs of travelling, buying land, building a house and general living in Thailand....All useful and entertaining stuff.

This video is a memory video for me and may not be of interest to anyone else. I went back to the UK for a month to help my father on his farm and also do some work on the other farm. I had plenty to do and managed to pack in 3 months work into 1 month.....18 hours of daylight!!!! I have not videoed everything I have done, as some things are personal.
A bit off piste....Welding a heavy, bespoke, drain cover.

"arse washer" very posh for sarf London🤭
😁😁😁
So nice..Thailand is a great place and I always believe they have a great knowledge when it comes to agriculture so having a farm in this Country is a good thing..Great! watching from Philippines
Thank you for your kind words. Thai people are indeed marvellous and ingenious. I was a dairy farmer before coming to Thailand and things here, in a tropical climate are very different. Thanks for watching.
I didn't understand until this video where you were, I thought you'd picked a plot of land in the middle of no where, now I see you've got a road coming. Bloody luxury 😂
When I bought the land it was cheap, as it was a farmers, dirt road. The deeds, for want of a better word, showed a 8m wide government road. Shortly after I bought, the road was put in. Just rocks at the moment but soon to be concrete....Obviously, the price of the surrounding land has since gone up, good for me. I've finished the brick s**t house now, tried and tested...💩 I may have time now to ride my bike!!!!!!! Thanks for watching mate.
@@fondavesthailandadventures5366 I like watching, it's very interesting. Sounds like you were in on the ground floor as 'they' say. I like that you got the man cave done first 😂
@@BeansOnToast_YT Haha yes, man cave needed....and a throne room!!!!
I have been there a number of times ... some great deals on some of the furniture there ....

Nice video
Cheers 🙏
The rear sliding door goes to the bathroom which are build from stone as add on to the wood house.
Thank you Dave . Its really helpful video for me
I'm happy, it was useful. 😎
What are the concrete rings for? I see them everywhere
They go underground, for toilet waste.
Coconut should be fine but it could be salty depending on the treatment it may have had, ph levels and draw down on nitrogen levels as it decomposes, that's what the white fibers most likely were, fungus.
Indeed
I recon your welds are better than mine for sure Dave.
My dad taught me, I'm no expert, but needs must. Cheers Nev.
Who would buy something with out a bathroom just nuts
Just what I have been thinking about; but I am thinking about a long term land lease to install one of these or a perhaps a tiny home diy 8’x16 travel trailer built in country. I’m not interested in marrying a Thai woman to gain access to her family’s land and the potential downfall. Just sayin’. Question on the septic system: As I understand it Thai septic systems have a buried primary solids separation/digested tank (plastic), but only one or maybe two 2 meter deep vertical dry wells for tank draining fluids as compared to a large area lateral drain field as we use in the US. My plan is to use a dry composting toilet with separation of urine and grey water at the source for direct piping to the vertical dry well with no treatment. Does the local govt authority require a permit for a diy septic system?
Good luck, Ron
this thing looks hungry for toes
Thai style, use at your own risk!
Remove the starter and reinstall/ clock it to pull from behind the engine!

Went here last May and picked out a super heavy duty table for six and two benches with backrest.... delivered all the way to Khon Kaen... definitely recommended
Wow, that's fantastic.
Nice work Dave, hope the Deer leave you a few wild mushrooms for the rabbit pies

When did u discover you wished you'd built it wider
IT'S CALLED A KNOCK DOWN, BECAUSE WHEN SHE LEAVES YOU... HER FAMILY WILL KNOCK IT DOWN AND TAKE IT.
Did the price include the casing? Will this be for irrigation purposes? Very informative video, thanks.
Price was for everything including permits/licences
140k for 40 meters???!!! that's a robbery. Of course they liked you. They only drilled to ground water which is from rain. Good luck in year 3 or when there is a drought. Did they line the entire bore? If not, problems are a coming.
👍
Thanks for sharing Dave. Always love watching a bore hole video, fascinating how they do it. Looked like it was a good company to use, how much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?
The cost is in the video. Thanks Guy
@@fondavesthailandadventures5366 serves me right for skipping the rainy bit to when they started. Didn't show up in the overview when swiping.

Great video. Interesting to watch. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the comment
Enjoyed the run.
Thank you
If I had a pink door on my shed here in Australia I’d be the butt of all my mates jokes.
Haha...yeah I can relate. Maybe a pastel blue then...555
So far the land looks great can't wait for the house to build.
Thank you
That paint is expensive . Hopefully it will last , looks a good job. Cheers Dave
I guess you pay for what you get, this was at the higher end of quality. Cheers Marty
Nice ride. Those CT125 eat up the dirt track quite well at a leisurely pace. Ideal motorcycle to tour Thailand.
Thanks again Dodger, if you don't mind the lack of power and want a leisurely pace, there perfect
What great little motorcycle. Love the look of the New CT125. Ideal bike for casually touring the Thai countryside. Beautiful area with great scenery. 👍
Thanks for your kind comment. We both, love our CT's and your right, it is perfect for it's intended use.
One for the algorithm.
J'ai ma moto ct trail 125 😅
May your flock flow.
If you have a thousand litre tank at the top of the hill you can have a straight run to your tank and then run all irrigation from your tank
Why would I do that?
2.7 looks good to me.
Thanks for the comment
that guy's building a mansion over there!
Yeah it's pretty big. Nice guy from Croatia
J’adore cette moto
Merci pour la traduction en francais
🙏👍
thanks for sharing prices
No problem
There is a suburb of Chiang mai with all that stuff .(Ban Twai ? ) .It looks good but not pratical for an ordinary sized house .Perfect for a Hotel lobby though .Its not that cheap btw .Wood of any kind is expensive in Thailand .
Chiang Mai a little far from me. Cheers Anthony
I am married also to Fon ,, that is why I subscribed , just came across your video today !
Well that’s something every man needs,,will be cool to see when you deck it out.
Take a little while to fit it out.....painting at the moment! Cheers keith
Well that’s cheap enough
That's what I thought, for a man cave...
Just bought a new place as well. I don't want/like the Index Mall stuff... I want the old fashioned hard wood stuff. So glad I found this video!
That's great, glad you found me....good luck. I would imagine the prices are a bit higher now, when we went sales were down and foot fall was limited.
Do a ring main and you will get equal pressure, so after the pump put in a tee then run the pipe back around to the cap end so you have a loop.
I am going to try that next....I have just dug in a pipe under the drive, this morning!!! I wasn't sure it would work, this is trial and error. I hope you are right, your comment has given me more certainty that it might. Cheers for that Jack. I'll let you know........
I did it on my block in Oz you get equal pressure for sure could depend on your pump size tho but should be fine.
@@jackncrabs7150 Awesome, I'm glad I'll get something right..!! Just bought a new pump, the loaner from a friend died!! The new one is much more hefty!! Now I'm blowing off my unglued fittings, if I don't have several running at once. It's a bit of a balancing act at the moment to adjust all the taps I have, to achieve, enough pressure up the hill without blowing off a fitting. All good fun..... I don't want to glue up the pipes as they are temporary. Cheers Jack
Hi, whats the bushes name please and how much?, we plan doing the same.
Fon tells me it's Annulata bloom, bought on facebook 10 baht each
We found them, thank you@@fondavesthailandadventures5366
Works great!
cheers
The lemongrass are pretty hardy. Once you plant the they just keep coming up. I get in trouble when i mow some down with the brushcutter controlling the long grass and weed. You instantly know you hit one, the air is full of the aroma.....lol
It's amazingly tall and thick, I've chopped it down to waste height, a couple of times, with the strimmer... Not a Mozy in sight!!!🙏
