Building a Brand New House in Thailand for $16,000 USD

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มี.ค. 2020
- Update
-This price listed is for all the materials and labour costs for the 2 labourers.
-The Homeowner did the bulk of the work himself.
- the land was already owned and is not included in the price
- if you are a foreigner building a house in Thailand there is a very good chance it’s going to cost substantially more
- The total value that the homeowner puts on everything land included with house, labour plus materials is 1.5 million baht or around $65,000 Cdn
We stop at a friends house to see how their new house build is coming along.
Even though I demonetized this video I still got a copyright strike for whatever song is playing on the workers radio... my apologies if they run ads.. that is out of my control - บันเทิง
Wow. So lucky. The House I built in Korat wasn't as nice as your's and cost 280,000 Baht.... or about $80,000.
Yes. You're more lucky than I.
Well, we have a few new motorbikes, a nice enough house and we're happy for now.
This isn’t my house.. this was a Thai man and he built a lot of it himself
Guaranteed if you’re a farang you’re gonna pay more
check out the latest video on my channel I’m showing a new build in the village total cost of the building 1.3 million baht (not including land)
@GlenRobertsonMusic
Too late. I already built. I probably could have gotten it cheaper. 3 million Baht wasn't bad for two bedroom two bath. I like living surrounded by rice fields.
Thanks. Good luck.
Keep em coming Glen! Love this! These prices are very interesting. Thank you.
Nicely done little video. Informative, good speaking voice and just the right length.
They have done a Fantastic job , Great workmanship ...
Thx for the rerun..have a plan drawn up for a house there already, just waiting for many things to gel and then we start....🙏🏻✌🏻🕊
Excellent vlog Glen...........thanks for sharing
Excellent price and amazing quality for village style build.
Wow, that is a great build. All you need and beautifully finished out. First time visitor to the channel - thanks for the video!
Welcome Eric that video is a couple years old so the prices are a little out of whack I’ll probably check out a few of the new houses here in the village to get some updated prices
Beautiful. I could definitely see myself in a house like this. Thank you Glen. All the best. Mitch 🙏
Very nice build, especially for the money, like he flooring, most Thai houses have ceramic tiles, 5hanx for sharing.
The trick is finding the right people to help you when you need them. Patience is the key. If not rent.
Very interesting , thank you Glen . All the best .🙂
Beautiful house perfect size for a retirement/seasonal home.
Or an all the time house.
Its Beautiful! The House!
That's a real nice house and one hell of a good price
$16,000 is a very cheap, it must be $25,000 to buy that house in Cambodia
It looks a very nice job 500000 Thai baht was that including the wood of tiles and everything nice job very pleased to watch your video sir
Thank you Glen
Perfectly simple!
21.000 CAN dollars , it's a great price , dont need bigger than this !!! Only need a great motorcycle and a Yamaha jet ski and a Thai beauty beside you , lol ! I would be so satisfied and happy !
That's the way to think bro. Now go get IT
Subscribed, thanks for this useful info
Beautiful home
Beautiful house and look cosy 😀😀
Nice home....great price
This is a beautiful house!
Great house - good info
Nice video, it just popped into my feed. We also built a house last year in Thailand - BuriRam. I did a complete video series on it. It seems the most popular videos are always about Pricing. I’m also originally from Canada - Vancouver. Take care 👍
Thanks for stopping in I’ll check out your channel see your house build. Cheers
How do you like it there in this my friend.? R u there now?
1Herbsforlife/ Entrepreneur I love it there but unfortunately no, I’m not there right now. I came back to Canada because of the situation. That seems to be a mistake now, as I can’t go back into Thailand at the moment. With any luck, they’ll start allowing some foreigners in soon.
Beautiful
Love it.
Good Price and butiafull
Its still possible, Ive built 3 houses and a 50m2 garage for a very small money here, did the work myself, laid all the blocks roof steel roof panels etc, reckon on about 2k a m2 is perfectly do able with pretty good quality.
That was a real nice house
We got a couple other houses going up in the village I am following their progress. One is going to cost around $3500 the other about $250,000 such a wide variety of building styles to choose from here
Great video
Good job.
I have just had a 1 room house built in Udon for £2500 GBP, superb quality
Love to see it!!
Hi Trevor , looking to build somthing small /holiday home in hua hin . Hopefully any advice and help where to purchase materials etc . Looking to build my self etc
very nice home for a very nice price. $16k.
Killer price!!
thanks
Nice house
Great example !
awesome
Good song, I’m home sick. Miss Laos and Thailand.
Me too I can’t wait to get back there
Nice
I did something similar, $18,000 usd for 100sq/m not including land and furniture. But it was built in 5 weeks.
Yeah they can really put them together here in a hurry
Very nice house. Want to buy land and build the house in Thailand one day.
It’s always good to have a dream.. gives you something to strive and hope for. it is hard for foreigners to buy land in Thailand most people will lease for 30 years as that’s the only option unless you have a Thai partner. It’s actually a really great law for the Thai people to own their own land ..unlike my country Canada
Wow amazing house 😉 for excellent price. How much did you pay salary to workers? Thanks
Nice!! How many bedroom / baths ?
Amazing. Imagine what $100,000 would get you- probably a palace.
The outside kitchen that is inside was interesting.
Nice. However, the kitchen counter doesn’t overhang nor have kick space for your feet. A lot of leaning over. Is this normal? Or missed in the specs?
Look I’ve lived in Thailand for about 8years now and I work from home I nearly bought a house twice however why build and stay in the one place when you can move around and pay rent and get what you want if your happy to stay in a village or small town go for it.Just in my case I live in Chaing Mai now was in Phuket in Kata before that I was in Bangkok and rent is cheap and not stuck to one area like I said it’s all depends what your looking for and your budget.Also this is not about Thailand but very similar in Indonesia which I lived for 2 years I was renting in Seminyak for a $120 Aust a week I had my own private villa 250square ft I had my own private swimming pool a good size 2 Air Con 1 in my bedroom and 1 in kitchen/ Lounge room.I have to say your money goes a lot further in Indonesia everything is cheaper for instance a pkt of cigarettes is $1.60c in Thailand 1pkt is $5.80 nearly 4x cheaper all food and shopping is cheaper.However I prefer the Thai way of living both are great just depends what your budget is like this house would be $20,000Aus which is still very very cheap but your stuck in one place perhaps if you want to retire it’s a good option but if your younger 25-50year old don’t think staying in one place for many many years is not such a good choice plus Thailand has very difficult laws for westerners to buy house and land there’s a hell of a lot of hoops you must have biggest one a Thai wife love to hear back from a few people on my thoughts I’m just saying my experience.
Excellent comment. I agree with what you said. Unless you’ve got the Thai wife and children holding you in place anyone under 65 should keep their options open plus it’s pretty hard to own a house here without a Thai spouse because foreigners can’t own the land
Yeah, just rent. You can pack up and go at a moments notice.
However, at that price, nice to have a home base with people around that care about you. I would never do it because of all the red tape
Can foreigners buy condos in Thailand since the condo is not attached to the land itself?
jayblack Yes foreigners can buy condos
@@GlenRobertsonMusic thank you
Who did you approach to build this house? I'm looking to build a house in Chiangmai
Just subbed to you channel my friend. See you in the next
excellent floor plan,,, perfect size for a village or farm house.... where do they get the plan to purchase from....?
Sorry I dont know
500k and sweat equity . Nice place. Is that walking distance from where you are?
Just around the corner
Hey thats a good price but the land would probably double the price depending... Still very nice good price.
What company is that with our do these lads work alone, really nice house, my friend is thinking of building a house for his Thai wife, be a good contact for him, really good watch.
These are local people to our village who built this house.
Interesting to read your comments. So often "non sense" videos comments. For once, all are "instructive ".
The lady under the sink gave you a fright lol .
Yup gave me a little jump lol
Yes you can find a builder and negotiate a price , I'm having my house built for 25,000k in kalasin. Same roof style but little bigger . I had 4 contractors bid for it .they where all in 60k to 70k. My wife's brother in law in udon his friend, so now we are 5th house to be built. You just got to do so leg work and negotiating, and watch out for sharks, I coached my wife to negotiate with them, over there 2 different pricing..
I would have to say once you’ve got everything in writing the most important thing is to be there in person during the construction
that’s where a lot of the horror stories I hear come from is the shoddy workmanship if you’re not looking
You a absolutely right, lots of stories out there and nightmares about building in Thailand. I looking and watching videos . I had 4 contractors bid , not I sign with a builder from udon he's next door to my wife sister . I'm a superintendent in a commercial building company in Phoenix Arizona, I have a month and half of vacation no time to be there , so my wife and her brother in law will be there and live video taping daily..stay safe and have a great day..
That's the perfect idea home living in S.E. Something you can live in and leave to somebody else without investing to much.
Exactly! coming and living in Thailand is much like going to the local casino ...you only bring what you can afford to lose
@@GlenRobertsonMusic how to contact company?
.....oh one more thing. That plumbing for the kitchen sink, it should have a plumbing trap. No drain comes down to form a “L” shape. Plus it would be Interesting to see the water supply lines.
Change my price establishment $9,000 USD tops. Especially because it has a cheap flat roof!
What was the total square metres of the house?
That's a nice build....but was the foundation already there or did they pour the slab themselves....also was there a separate cost for the foundation and driveway?
Hey Craig this was a brand new build from the ground up so I would imagine the price he told my wife was likely including the cost for that. Her uncle is building a new small house across the road from us and I’m following it from the beginning if you want to check it out. The driveway was already in ...the family already owns this chunk of land and the parents live on site
Me and wife bought 5 rai in Ban Phai, will be building a house soon just about the same size. I was quoted about 16k.
Have some land there as well. Looking forward to the build
@@jonathanbartell1891 good luck on the house. Hopefully if everything goes right we will get started next year on our home.
Could I possibly get a pdf of your layout/blueprint and supply list/costs? Thanks
I didn’t build this house And don’t have access to any of that stuff
There are two countries I could live in besides the US. Thailand and New Zealand. I can't live in a place that I can't own the house, so Thailand is out. New Zealand shakes too much so I guess we'll stay in Florida.
I can see Florida becoming its own country in due time.
And what is the price for the land ?
That is a mad price, I could buy one and use it as a holiday home/ rental. The hoops one has to go through if your not Thai for me is not worth the effort. Rentals are cheap as chips and you have the benefit of changing locations whenever you want. Politics in Thailand, they can change the rules as they please and even kick you out of the country. It is not stable enough for me to invest a lump of money in property. I wish you continued success. M
Thanks a lot for checking out the video I agree totally with you I would never own a home here on land I can never own
what a shame foreigners cant own land there, i would have moved there and done this years ago
Dang, maybe I should move there. I could live like a king.
I can’t wait to have my own boom boom palace in Asia, but I’m sure my wife will track me down.
don’t worry about the wife.A lotta guys here have an extra place for the girlfriend 😂
⚰ Is the best place ⚰
Be sure to hide it. I'd stay in the far far country.is best.
@@GlenRobertsonMusic Did I get false information about foreigners being unable to purchase real estate in Thailand?
Foreigners can buy a condo but they cannot own land in Thailand
$16,000, what!!! That’s cheap. But looks nice
IF YOU SPEND $50,000 YOU CAN LIVE IN A MANSION. DON'T BE CHEAP BECAUSE THERE IS NO PROPERTY TAXES IN THAILAND.
Such a sweet nice house ❤ May I ask ,Which province is this in Thailand ? 😍🙏
Chiang Rai Province
Chiang Rai is a bit far from most things.
Whilst I understand that labour in Thailand is not expensive, what would have been the cost of labour if he had not done it himself?
How much you pay for the eard?
what size is the lot and house in Sq Ft Pls
00:09 Canadian!
I was quoted 1million b for a similar house including cost of land in Sakon Nikon.
That’s about normal for a foreigner price I would say 200,000 baht for the land (1rai) and 800,000 baht for a house seems about right
Looks very well done.. what area is it in?
This house is in Chiang Rai province outside a town called Phan
Around the land how much per rai
Varies by location but average may be around 200k baht per rai
its very beautiful floor beautiful home 16k?
Better than buying a house in USA for 1,000,000 USD lol
That's only California lol
Properties in western countries are overrated. Actually those condos worth quarter price.
That's a rip off price in USA. Build a dream home/ & drive a BMW / all for under 200k. 800k for the ladies
When is Thailand open again
I wish I knew
Where is this property? I would like to live in new house as well.
Chiang Rai
How many rooms?
Nice video. Dump the music so I can hear you better.
Everything, parts and labor? Start to finish? What about the land?
This is our neighbour he did all the work himself with the help of a couple other people he sourced secondhand materials whenever possible this is not a typical price for a foreigner to build a house in Thailand this was built on land he already owned so that is not included
the price is accurate to what he paid to build it himself
That’s why me and the wife are going to build a villa/Thai massage and yoga school there.
Around how much bill the villa
How can you buy a house in Thailand as a foreigner? I thought they cannot buy a house but can rent it instead
Foreigners cannot own land in Thailand. Most times the foreigner will end up building the house on land his girlfriend or wife owns but that’s risky. Foreigners are allowed to own condos
the house in this video was built by a Thai man on land he already owned
When can we move in 😂.
I would love to retire in chaing ria are there many houses like this for sale
Keep in mind this price does not include the land this is a Thai man who built his own house on land he owns. Foreigners cannot own land though you can lease land and build a house on it. I strongly recommend renting to every foreigner who comes to Thailand.
If I give you any advice let it be this
‘ treat Thailand like a giant casino and only bring what you are prepared to lose’
16k... And here appartments of that size go for 200k...
1 Bitcoin only?
What compagnie please
Hey I'd buy it .... but as a foreigner, I can't own the land it's on. So, I could only rent it. How much per month?
I’ve seen houses like this over here rent for 5000 baht a month
@@GlenRobertsonMusic I thought it would be something like that. Looking at CR real estate sites it looks like you can rent a nice 2 bedroom home for 5000 to 10000 baht. Many of them furnished too, and in nice locations.
I am interested in this house How much? Where is it located? What province
This house is in the north of Thailand I’m not the builder it was built by a friend of ours in the village he built it himself which is why the price is so inexpensive
Wow! What if a house like this but with a small swimming pool as well. How much would that be?!
I’m not sure I’m thinking of putting a pool in here when I come over and retire but I don’t know prices yet
I’m assuming they already owned the land right Glen ?
Yes. That also didn’t include appliances and furnishings
Glen , still quite cheap even by Chiang Rai village prices, I can’t remember how much our place cost but we already owned the land which is the biggest cost when building out here
The owner is doing a lot of the labour himself I think that saves a lot of money
I heard that foreigners can't own land in Thailand. Is that true?
Correct and it’s been a very good thing for the country only Thai people can own the land
This video was a Thai man in our village building a house on land he owns
You need at least $100000 to buy a container house in the US.😭😭 That 's the reason why the US dislikes peace in other countries.They want you to come in the US to work like a horse for the rich people and,you can actually get nothing good for yourself.
I have a lot of empathy for my American friends right now you guys are going through a really tough time ..stay strong better times ahead 👍
Dang are homes really 20k us over there
Yes but you can’t own the floor (foreigner cant own land)
Which province or city is that ??
Chiang Rai province
