Brilliant conversion . Hope you can stay in Thailand to enjoy it .Long term Visas are not easy at your age .Its great to have a rural view out back .Long may it last .Hope you have it in a Company name .Thai ladies are sweet until the money dries up .Been there done that .
Why are TV’s so damn high up the wall in Thailand? You be breaking your neck to watch it! Especially if it’s a smaller living area. Have seen this many times in other vids.
Do you still put yours on a table in the corner? Looks like a few people agree with you but I like them on the wall like that (it's not only Thailand 😊)
@@thethairishsunaccdg to an interior design channel that I follow, the TV is supposed to be at ~eye level when you're seated on the sofa/ chair, so that you don't strain your neck while you watch. But if you're happy with it being high on the wall, then to each his own. 😊
It’s not the wall issue! It’s the height issue! And yes mine is on a stand that’s 2’ tall and it works great both ways of sitting or laying stretched out.
@@robertorr148 yes, I agree. Two or 3 ft tall for a TV table/ credenza is good. The TV is supposed to be at eye level when you're seated so that one doesn't strain the neck (accdg to an interior designer). It will depend on what your eye level is and on the size of the TV. Cheers!
Well done mate. Good luck from here moving forward. I personally think You will be getting fantastic returns and You got in the Samui market at an ideal time . Phuket is mental prices now!
I remember when you were interviewed about your failed restaurant and loved the honesty. Now we see that you're obviously doing much better in real estate business. or maybe it's just a more lucrative thing to do than working in hospitality sector
I really love this! I just discovered this channel and subscribed. You are living the dream! It may not feel like it but you are doing a great job!! Love it 😊
Excellent vlog, you did a magnificent job on presentation and the quality of work you put in is great… how much are your rates??? Would you consider long term renting??? I will be looking forward to seeing your results and adventures… looking at Thailand for retirement or at least a nice long vacation… Thanks for sharing…Blessings to you…
Hiya Mate. It all looks amazing. You have done fantastic with the space. You should be proud. Cute to see your fur baby. Do you still have both dogs? Like the music at the end. LOL. Have a great evening.
Hey Nicky! Thanks very much 🙏 yeah so far so good 🤞 ... Yeah still got my 2 girls. I might make an old school walk on the beach vid soon actually and show them off 😀 ... Haha you're the first one to comment on the grange hill sample at the end 😅
Very nice renovation! Congrats and may you get a lot of side income from these 2 apartments. Somehow, your vid was recommended by the YT algorithm. Cheers!
How much did you buy for please? As a UK resident with Irish passport, can you live permanently in Thailand without working (retired now) Great job on the house Good Luck 🍀
Fantastic transformation,well worth the stress and effort you put in, I’m glad you finally got the back door lock and plate sorted 🤠 Will you be putting on any rentals sites ?
Good job. Are you sure that breeze block wall is stable though? It looks like it could be pushed over and crush anybody that’s lying in that bed on the other side.
Good for you, mate. Looks like a proper nice doer upper. Thanks for giving us the costs/prices etc. I used to do the same here in Blighty with my ex (3 bed semis - give them a house that they’d be proud of owning themselves and they’ll look after you as tenants - good karma, it ain’t rocket science). Seems like there’s money to be made 👍
Very nice work was it very difficult to have it in your name my daughters are half Thai they have Thai ID cards so when there 21 there allowed to have a property in Thailand it’s lovely and it will give you a good return good luck
@@thethairishsun I met lots of Indians in Pattaya and they told me they marry a Thai then when the daughters are 21 or son they put it in there names suit business house in the name of the child and they have away of having it in partners names so there actually really protected. Many Europeans put everything in the wife’s name the wife pays for the car the insurance the visa is 400 000. But this can in many respects make you vulnerable? If your wife decides to divorce you your visa is automatically invalid and you have 7 days to leave the country I find many Indians marry Thais and then the half Thais half Indians marry Indians again I believe they all speak Thai and they don’t seem to loose anything.
Nice video and great investment! When sleeping downstairs in the bedroom and the tenants of the upstairs apartment come home you first get blasted by the solar light and after by the door slamming and people going up the stairs..? Just asking..
Fantastic result mate, wish we could have fancy toilets or bum guns but they are banned in UK... Was in Thailand in March for 4wks, did see you whilst going over the island, did see you but going in different directions. Got a 1 mth thai sim card this time and made life much easier and was cheap.
You should be very proud of yourself. It really is very well Done. Maybe needs a bit of woman’s touch detailing - maybe lose the flowers on the stairs! Hopefully, you will be successful on air bnb - where cleanliness (as well as the size of your tv and streaming services) is the most important thing.
Strictly speaking the answer above is correct but there's grey areas and lots of different ways of doing things. I wouldn't rush in to anything until you know what's what... Cheers for watching 👍
You can buy what you want but it will never be yours. Always on the name of your Thai other half. Unless you buy an apartment but in that case you buy only 2 walls.

@@thethairishsuni absolutely agree , nothing better than a tv on the wall…lean back , look up …gives it a nice clean look

Fingers crossed for ya mate. Great job.

Just watched this mate, you’ve done well, good luck 👍
Beautiful Reno! You’ve done a great job on this one.
Can you do video on how foreigners can own real estate in Thailand? The process you took to get to acquire a property to rent out. Thank you 🙏❤️

Nice work ! Well done 👍
Looks great,fair play to you
Great work,.. i've enjoyed watching your journey on this and i'm sure it will be a great success.

Great job on the house
Good Luck 🍀
Well done.🇨🇮
Looks fantastic, I would stay in either unit without a doubt!
Fantastic transformation,well worth the stress and effort you put in,
I’m glad you finally got the back door lock and plate sorted 🤠
Will you be putting on any rentals sites ?
Cheers Dave! I let an agent do it mate, long term and no headaches (I hope!) 😊
Martha Stewart would be proud 😀
First time viewing your channel and subscribed; good commentary too. Very practical efficient design; what is your line of work?
Nice work
Nice mate, I did 2 derelict townhouses in Bangkok, concrete makes for good bones, stressful though, contracts fked a lot up lol.
Bravo👏 Excellent investment, congratulations! You're a very wise man 👍
Good job. You had a vision and you made it all a reality 👍
Very very nice….I’ll look into staying next year!🐨🙏
Very nice! I would be very happy there!
What about location? Close to beach, shops?
Good job.

Ya there's rules you have to stick to but it's doable... Daughters are great option I'd say

Looks superb well done 👏👏 best of luck to you 👍
Thanks as always, Mark!
The apartments look super tight. One question, what's with the sausage pillow?
Thanks 😊 ... Haha ya they are called bolster pillows and quite popular in Asia. They aid posture and help you sleep, I recommend 🙂
@@thethairishsun I will consider 😉
Fantastic result mate, wish we could have fancy toilets or bum guns but they are banned in UK... Was in Thailand in March for 4wks, did see you whilst going over the island, did see you but going in different directions.
Got a 1 mth thai sim card this time and made life much easier and was cheap.
You've inspired me, Been in construction all my life, How do you find them ?
How can I contact you. I’m living in Phuket but plan to move to samui. I would like to meet or even rent a condo if available.
Looks pretty amazing! Will you rent them out to us visitors for a month or more?
I have rented long term for now 🙂 maybe in the future ... Thanks for watching 👍
Good job!!
Hope your are hapoy with the results mate. Stay cold!
Pretty impressive fella ☺️☺️ I could happily live there ☺️
hi mate are these for long term rent or b&b style i am over in thailand in september and a week in samui would be great any prices for a week cheers
Hi Phil! It's just long-term for now mate :)
very nice.how much was the property?
He asked us to guess in his first video but i never heard the answer .
@@anthonydowling3356 you are right. i remember him saying it in the first video.I have messaged him twice but he has never got back to me?!
@@anthonydowling3356 that's correct! I might talk about it in a video of it's own at some point in the future 👍
@@thethairishsun lets hope so 🙏
I want to move in!!
You should be very proud of yourself. It really is very well
Done. Maybe needs a bit of woman’s touch detailing - maybe lose the flowers on the stairs! Hopefully, you will be successful on air bnb - where cleanliness (as well as the size of your tv and streaming services) is the most important thing.
Cheers Mark. The flowers were put there by a woman. I think they are fine... They are rented long-term through an agent 😁
nice ☝
How did you buy a house in thailand as a foreigner is it in a company's name or your wife I'm curious
I think I will do a video all about it all in the future mate
He paid for it but cannot own it
@@domi9577 I own it.
@@thethairishsun did u set up a company to purchase the house
Are foreigners allowed to own the land for these type of houses?
No 😂
Strictly speaking the answer above is correct but there's grey areas and lots of different ways of doing things. I wouldn't rush in to anything until you know what's what... Cheers for watching 👍
I find it very weird that people still put microwaves in places. They are obsolete.
Obsolete? I use one at least once a day.
@@thethairishsun Why? To boil water.
You should have got better windows and doors Double glass Those are junk and the sun will burn like fire .
Who is the actual owver of the house? Can't be you. Thai wife? Thai majority shareholder of a company that owns the house?
Welcome to Thailand and please be respectful to our people and culture🙏
You mean your wife bought it!!😉
Is the house in your girlfriend’s name?
house can buy, but land not can buy and need be 30 year max rent contract.
Om my god 😂😂😂😂 Are you mad ?
You can buy what you want but it will never be yours. Always on the name of your Thai other half. Unless you buy an apartment but in that case you buy only 2 walls.
You sound envious 😂
No he is telling it like it is
not true, can buy house, no problem newer, but land not can buy , need be rent 30 year maximum contract.
Nicely done 👍🏼 All looks good 👍🏼
