Oh yeah I forgot......EXCELLENT repairs on your house! Those guys are awesome and the water dam they built is a great idea! KUDOS to JJ and the workers on a fantastic repair job!
Hi Joe & Gift, nice home you guys have....it's a pleasure to meeting Chuck, Kara and Paige here....have a gala times ⏲️ 😀 the $12k house being built looks good...regards from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾
Hello Joe and Gift, thank you for the walk around of the builds. Good to see Chuck and Mom and Paige arrived safely. 2 Gold stars for feeding Cookie. 😊😊😊I know you won't be seeing comments for a while but 100 / 10. Stay Safe Keep Well my friends.
Wow, not even 500,000 baht for the house opposite which actually has windows in the bedrooms! Seems to be coming on now. I find the house next door to you a little strange in design, but I am sure it will be fine once whoever lives there put their personal stamp on it and make it a home. Thanks for sharing again Gift and Joe. Have fun with your friends, God bless you all 🙂🙏🙏
Hello Joe and Gift. I just came across your channel. I am retiring soon and looking at the Philippines and Thailand as possible retirement locations. Your area seems to be nice and quiet (no blaring stereos) and the streets don't look crowded. Is the area as quiet as it seems on your videos?
It’s usually quite during the week when school is in and most people are working. During the weekends people enjoy the seaside, restaurants and the weekend market just to name a few. Definitely not a Bangkok, Hua Hin or Pattaya.
HI Joe + Gift, I was thinking about building a tiny house in Thailand so we could have a place to stay when we come to visit .But Thinking Better we rent its only a few months a year ,, and we like to travel same as you , Ill be coming in a few months so Look out !!! have fun guys Randy and Boom !!
Joe if you could do some research on the local mortgage info in your area ( of course in your spare time) we would greatly appreciate it .... Research online is sufficient but im sure you would agree that on site investigation and inquiry is the best information you can attain ! We would appreciate any help ( info) you can give us on this matter but if not it's all good 👍 we appreciate the info you've shared already in past videos ! Thanks 🙏🙏 Mark and Ta Morgan !
Hallo Joe und liebe Gift 🌹 Schön euch wiederzusehen. Ihr seht so glücklich und zufrieden aus, ihr beiden :) Und richtig klasse ist , euch mit Chuck, Mom und Paige gemeinsam sehen zu dürfen ❤️ Ich hoffe Mom bekommt eine schöne Wohnung für dich, zentral in der Stadt gelegen :)) Alles alles Gute weiterhin und passt gut auf euch auf , liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 ❤️🇺🇸
We can do clean the pool ourselves but decided to hire someone to clean it for 2,500 Baht a month, chemicals (salt and chlorine) 200-300 baht a month and electricity about 2,000 baht a month. Roughly $1,500 USD a year.
Good afternoon Mr. Joe , this is Mrs. Zurayda Jansen the mom of Ezra Jansen , I am still waiting to hear from my son Ezra, The Mirror Foundation Thailand is helping me , but they are still waiting to hear of some clues to help with their search. God Bless. Thank you for your informative videos on you tube.
We are still keeping our eyes open as we travel. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen any sightings of Ezra. Continuing to our eyes opened and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. God bless!
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. JOE AND GIFT , APPRECIATED . I MUST SEND YOU A PICTURE OF HOW THE MIRROR FOUNDATION THAILAND WITH A POLICE EXPERT MADE A SKETCH OF HOW EZRA MAY LOOK LIKE AFTER EIGHT YEARS . I MUST CHECK HOW I CAN FORWARD THE PICTURE TO YOU. GOD BLESS .
Now that ya'lls video making skills are so high......PLEASE DO NOT move to Hollywood and forget about us poor folks! lol Another excellent video guys! I think it is awesome that you guys are attracting other good people and building an awesome community. What a step up from getting off the plane 3 years ago and shoulder surgery!!! I cannot wait to get there and see Thailand and hopefully meet you guys :) Question about the new house construction: It looks like the Romex wiring in the walls are run in a channel.....and covered with concrete or some type of putty. Is this in fact the case? Or is the wiring in tubing or piping? I have never seen bare wires set in concrete. Just curious! Keep up the great work guys and God Bless ya'll....Gene :)
You can never have enougth Electric outlets ....I'm still confuse about the Big window in the Hall , But I guess They have a reason ...Great Tour ...Thanks..
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 Sir thank you for this insight. .. 1/ home insurance has it change with going higher since you moved in there? 2/ Property Tax really your not required to pay on #First home. Is this for ever if you don't sale it? Is this same policy for condos?
Does your contractor JJ have any connections in Issan Thailand I will be needing assistance in the coming months. Any advice or names could be helpful thank you. From the US Fla
Gift and Paige act just like my wife "Ta" when they're happy, excited or just having their favorite drink 🤣🤣 hilarious 😂 ! Anyway a ❓ for you Joe... If Ta and I buy land for 2 million bath would the banks/ mortgage companies give us (Ta) a collateral loan/ mortgage for that amount or possibly more over a 15yr or more term to finance our house construction !
Honestly, it would be best for Ta to contact her bank and ask the question. Fortunately for me, I was able to pay cash for our home. As for our beach cottage, Gift’s family financed that for us and we just pay them back the loan. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Joe is right. My wife managed to get a mortgage through her bank using my pension as guarantee of payment. We repay monthly over 10 years. Banks do not give loans or mortgages to foreigners even those of us who have lived here for 10 years and paid monthly pension into the same bank!
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 No problem guys . Actually when we sell our home in Pa , we'll have approximately 3/4 of the expenses needed to buy the land and start construction on our house . Depending on Ta's bank's ( korsikohrn and Bangkok) we'll will see if they'll finance the rest through the collateral on the land and although she has family that owns land we prefer to purchase our own property and being that the lot (3/4 acre 2to 4 rai) would have to be backfilled/settled for at least a year or two that would give us time to save another 2 million baht if need be to avoid financing of any kind ! My pension and SS benefits are plenty but we depleted our savings for the land due to COVID-19 ( her brothers employer went out of business) and we give him monthly stipends to pay his mortgage and take care of mom ! We're committed to helping them out cause that's what we do...🙏🙏💪😉 and the kid worked so hard to buy his home and take care of his mom. Anyway sorry to go off track with the brief history but we'll follow up on your advice and look forward to sitting down with the two of you in the near future. Again thanks for the advice and as always keep up the informative videos ✌️🙏🙏👍
Materials must be dirt cheap if they can build a small house for $12k either that or its gonna be a real mickey mouse effort with bad quality workmanship
Remember I Zurayda Jansen is from Cape Town , South Africa and communicated with you by email. I don't have your email address anymore so if you can please be so kind and sent it to me if possible, thank you .

Most enjoyable Gift and Joe, happy to see Chucks mom settled, the 2 neighbours houses making progress, what a lovely meeting, loads of happy dogs🐶🍺
You and gift just reminded me of my favourite aunt and uncle. Just so grounded . Know your stuff and happy to help on all levels. Heaps of respect.
🙏
Thanks for sharing be safe Love you2 I enjoyed it Keep on lilo
🙏
Nice to see you lot get together with Chuck, Paige and Kara
That $12,000 place is all I would need. That property has the same value as any nearby property.
The further away from the sea and city, the cheaper the land.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 I agree, I was thinking that property has the same value as the adjacent propertys.
Everything coming together with house and family, so good luck and the house is coming along. Take care Gift and Joe and company.
🙏
Good to see the different Thai home type's, great video Joe and gift,
Really good to see y’all back together.

Great Video - Budget home looking good
Wow! LOVE the little 2 bedroom home! Perfect for a couple of grey nomads to live in a few months each year!
I would be happy to live in it permanently all year round 🙂
Wow, not even 500,000 baht for the house opposite which actually has windows in the bedrooms! Seems to be coming on now. I find the house next door to you a little strange in design, but I am sure it will be fine once whoever lives there put their personal stamp on it and make it a home. Thanks for sharing again Gift and Joe. Have fun with your friends, God bless you all 🙂🙏🙏
God Bless!
12,000 USD, now that house i could afford. I like seeing the houses being built more then when finished.
Wow, they travel far! House is looking nice.
The smaller place on the first home will be very dark when it is finished. Not much natural light
Nice place and always good to share with neighbors with donuts 🍩 and greeting the dogs 🐕 always enjoy watching your videos take care
Thank you 🙏
Awesome positive vibes 🙏👍
Lucky neighbours get the nice view of your place and the mountain. Joe is there much seismic activity there?
No there is not. Link to more info:
earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usp000etzw/region-info
Thank you Joe and Gift. 👍😎🙏
Our pleasure! See you soon brother.
Joe Poured concrete wall foundations are arguably stronger than cinder blocks. Why have the builders / home buyers not do more of this instead their?
They built homes here with concrete, steal, bricks and blocks. Just a matter of preference.
Greetings from New Zealand
Thanks' guys. Very interesting. Thank you.
that looks like it's going to be a great little house.
I can see some great videos if Chuck and Paige live next door!
ENJOY YOUR LIVES, I WISH YOU THE BEST LONG HAPPY LIFE, RESPECT MOROCCO
Thank you 🙏
Another good video,the 12000 dollars house will do me and like you said if their happy we are too
Great videos. Thanks.

thanks for the update

Loving bouncing between your and Chuck's channels. You paid $40k USD for your place!? Man, that's insanely good!
We paid nearly $200K for our home, land and pool. Maybe it was the land price you heard as we did pay $40K for the land.
Ah ok! Makes sense. Beautiful home and location.

A video from Chucks roof redoing they used insulated roofing sheets ! I hope you’re having that done
We are just showing the two houses in our neighborhood that are being built. If you’d like, you can check out our home build videos on this channel.
Joe how much $USD is you upkeep yearly with your pool?
We can do clean the pool ourselves but decided to hire someone to clean it for 2,500 Baht a month, chemicals (salt and chlorine) 200-300 baht a month and electricity about 2,000 baht a month. Roughly $1,500 USD a year.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 That sounds about the same $USD in the U.S.... Thank you for this good info..
Joe, the opposite your house have a better view than the house beside your house.
If they clear some trees, they will have beautiful views of the mountain as well.
Great video
Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏. The wiring is placed in a special electrical tubing prior to being installed.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 OK good! I thought that might be the case but I had to ask. Thank you🙏
Wonder why the home is being rendered without the electrics in place? Also no evidence of water piping in place?
We will have to see as the build continues.
Nice house
I love your dogs lol
Nice video
Thank you 🙏
You can never have enougth Electric outlets ....I'm still
confuse about the Big window in the Hall , But I guess
They have a reason ...Great Tour ...Thanks..
Breeze, air circulation
Thank you 🙏
Thanks Mike , I should have
figured that one out Myself ...
I woundered when Klaus and Tun would show up again. I have missed them. Didn’t see her now?
Toon was visiting with friends up the street.
What city in Thailand is that house?
Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan.
Nice
Is this thailand the same rules as phillipins? That foreigners cant own a land unless its for business?
Come 1st September, 2022, foreigners can buy property in Thailand, landed or high-rise, just watch official news from the Thai government
Yes.
Please check out this link regarding Usufruct Thailand. In addition please read the pinned comment
www.siam-legal.com/realestate/Usufructs.php
What is your property tax and home insurance yearly?
Home insurance about 7,000 baht roughly $200. Since this is our first home, we do not pay taxes.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 Sir thank you for this insight. .. 1/ home insurance has it change with going higher since you moved in there? 2/ Property Tax really your not required to pay on #First home. Is this for ever if you don't sale it? Is this same policy for condos?
Insurance hasn’t changed in the year we have been here. As far taxes, tax laws can change. We have no experience with owning a condo.
sorry if you already said, but is JJs team building the house next to you, or another builder?
Different builder’s.
You don’t want a screen on that outside drain pipe? Would stop some kind of small animal from making a home in there and clogging it
Thank you 🙏 that is a great idea.
Does your contractor JJ have any connections in Issan Thailand I will be needing assistance in the coming months. Any advice or names could be helpful thank you. From the US Fla
Please contact JJ directly, his info is in the pinned comment and description of our house build videos.
Getting crowded down there 555
Lol 😂
$12,000 USD! OMG! ไม่อยากเชื่อเลย สวยและดูหรูหรามากครับ ถ้าหลังนี้อยู่ กทม. ต้อง 5-10 ล้านหรือแพงกว่านั้นเลยครับ ผมได้ดูคลิปบ้านตอนเสร็จแล้ว สวยมาก ประโยชน์ใช้สอยครบครันครับ
หลังนี้ในวีดีโอกำลังทำอยู่ค่ะ ยังไม่เสร็จค่ะ อาจจะเข้าใจผิดหลัง 😊
👍👍👍
REALLY did you say you paid $40,000 back then for your lot and now its cheaper. Why is that value lower now?
The exchange rate back then for one USD bought 30.5 baht. Today it buys 36.2 baht.
Thanks for the video. For 12,000 dollars house. It is a good joke. You are a funny man.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It’s no joke. The builder said around 400,000 Baht to build.
