    Thank you so much for making this video and sharing with us and giving all the details! That was very nice of you.
    Inside was beautiful too and it wasn't messy at all. My home is more messy :). I would love to have a house like this in a remote Thai village when I retire in a few years.

      Thanks again… And anything is possible… You could even lease a little piece of land down by the beach and just have one of those houses plopped right on there and you’d be living in within two weeks…And the house didn’t appear that messy because I moved all the crap from room to room while I was filming… Lol

      @@unclecraigbaannawk My wife (Thai) and I are trying to buy a plot of land in Kanchanaburi Or Hua Hin to build a small home to retire. I also like Chiang Mai and don't mind buying a ready to move house that goes for $60k to $100K. I see a lot of them for sale. I also follow James Abroad since he shows affordable houses in Tak areas. I love the countryside and being close to nature, but my wife was born and raised in Bangkok, she likes big cities. We are working to find common ground :). Currently living, working and raising two teens in the Western United States. I may be reaching out to you for some advice.

    Craig, this one caught my eye so I’ve jumped out of sequence briefly. Very interesting to see the development and maturity/establishment of the property. Also, you’ve aged well in a year. I’d say that you are looking fitter and healthier. You’ve obviously saved a huge amount by doing a lot by yourself, but for B1m that’s a lovely home. Wasn’t expecting to see a lobby or a second bedroom to be honest. Looks beautiful. I’m going to consider a knockdown and investigate a little further. As a pen pusher, and impractical when it comes to DIY, I’ll have to pay someone to do most of the work.

      Thanks man….yeah I figured it was a good deal…mostly because we didn’t have to wait to move in…it was up in less than a week….but I think I’ve actually declined in health…lol…it feels like it….and nothing with paying someone if you can manage to stay off their back…lol..it’s very stressful trying to teach or correct a builder along the way….I’d rather let ‘em make a mistake and then fix it myself later…lol just so I don’t stress……lol

    Well done, Craig..!! You’ve really accomplished a lot in just one year on your fantastic piece of property. You know I can attest to that after my brief visit with you one afternoon. We sat in the underneath sitting area…sipping on homemade strawberry smoothies…with a nice breeze passing through and no signs of a mosquito anywhere….yea, pretty nice. I’ll keep watchin’ 😊

    Please can you tell me the height of the underside of the house.

    • @unclecraigbaannawk
      @unclecraigbaannawk  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sure....it varies a bit with the layout but facing from the front, the left underside is 7.5 feet high going back to the underside that is below the back of the house under the restroom where its 7.0...(I can still park my truck inside if I wanted)...the right underside rises to 7.10 but its supporting cross beam for the balcony takes the beam head down to about 7.0 again...hope that helps...you could have it built at a uniform height if you wanted to...but I had a step down for the kitchen and bathroom so the underside had to be lower in that area...

    Tradition never looked better! Loved the gold windows. Your presentation raised a couple of questions. One would be what kind of permitting is necessary in Thailand for one of these structures? Another would be about sewage setup? Is aircon actually effective in that house? And also what might be involved in actually finding someone who is willing to enter into a long-term land lease with a Farang? Would you advertise for that? It seems like engaging a local realtor might be helpful but I'd bet that involving them would carry the risk of them sucking on your rent payments forever. I understand that you wife is Thai and I do not have that advantage. I'm kinda excited about setting up a home in one of those beautiful knockdowns. I guess I'm needing to know what might be involved.

    Ah yes the wooden Thai house. I have a love-hate relationship with these. They're cooler at night but can't keep heat out during the day. Perfect if you're a farmer and work outside all day but not great if you spend your days at home. I guess you could construct these well but everyone I've been in is easily overrun by ants which crawl into all the gaps.

    • @unclecraigbaannawk

      Indeed I’m sure they are unique to where they are situated..:fortunately we don’t have ants or bugs…we keep the air conditioners on during the day for the dog and cats when it’s hot and the house stays cool..of course there’s no one around us so the wind helps…but we’re probably an exception due to our location and our maintenance schedule for pests and such…
