Hi Joe ,Gift, i bought the land here in the mountain of Chiang Mai way back in 97 built the house,got married in 2000 ,never looked back still together after all these years and im'e coming on to 71 so where i will end my days. Good Luck you guys.
That's awesome!!! Good luck to you. I was in Chiang Mai in January 2020. Hiked the "Monk's Trail". I thought I was going to die there, Lol. That was a hell of a hike.
Gift and Joe, a couple sharing your lives, a little unique in the way you have chosen to present your relationship here on youtube. I love it. I am the aussie farang half of our 20 year marriage here in Thailand. 100%-100% committed relationships, we have what we have but more important is we have each other. Looking forward to seeing the house develop. I am pretty handy with woodworking and would love to help out.
WISHING YOU AND YOUR WIFE THE BEST. I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU STATED FOR FOREINGERS TO DO THEIR RESEARCH,HOMEWORK. RATHER HAVE A HEADACHE BEFORE THAN AFTER..... CONGRATS!!
Hi Joe and Gift hope you both are keeping well. I am bingeing on your home build vlogs today. The price you paid was great and just a few mins from the beach is amazing and you get more for the money buy going a little further from the beach. It will look amazing . Can’t wait to watch the rest .
I had a similar journey 28 years ago. Loving each and every day here. You are both positive and decent people. It’s a real pleasure to come along on your journey.
building a house Joe, you are the man. Enjoying your building experience , love watching you go through the motion. For me, I would live closer to Hua Hin. Your house looks lovely and I wish you success
So glad you chose Prachuap Khiri Khan as your forever home. I've really loved the channel since you moved there. Plus you still get to look after the dogs. Congratulations to you both. I look forward to the building videos.
Thanks for putting together such an informative video. My wife is Thai. Hoping to move there from the US in a few years so this is very helpful. Love the new channel.
Hi Tanya, great hearing from you again. Hope all is well with your sister, cousin and family. I believe I read a message that you are now a grandma. A big congratulations 🎊🎈 to you and your family. Hope to see you all back in Thailand. Stay safe!
I love your videos Joe& Gift....subscribed to both before you combined!! I "value" the great content you 2 provide....keep up the great work and best wishes on your new house! (home).
great for you Joe and Gift , we spent some time in the area 12 months ago , perfect blend of amenities but nicely rural. look forward to fallowing your journey . from Cowichan Bay , west coast Canada
Great vid Joe and Gift. I will be checking every vid of the land prep, build and finish. I hope to do the same as soon as we can travel from U.S. to BBK minus the quarantine. Blessings and great luck on the build.
Hey Joe and Gift, I agree with the way you valued the cost of land. I really think you paid a very reasonable price. That's a great start. It's probably a good thing that you aren't set in your ways about construction. That will make it easier to enjoy the process. You will see things that you won't in the States as far as technique and safety is concerned. I'll be watching. Good Luck and God Bless!
Good Luck to you both I really enjoy following both of you n now that you are together it should be super. Also Stay Happy n Stay Safe. Thank You Joe n Gift
Congratulations on your new land! My wife, Lek, and I are excited to see the construction of the house. We've purchased land there recently as well and hope to find a builder when we next visit, which is who knows when?! We're near Au Noi. Keep up the good work!
Belated Happy Birthday Gift! Joe and I have been exchanging e-mails. You have a special guy there. He’s a good man. I very much look forward to meeting the two of you..
Hi Joe and Gift thanks for the video it was very interesting I look forward to seeing the progress with your house. Wow Gift is 40 she looks great, I'm looking forward to your dance Joe 😁
Oh that burger looks delicious! Next time we are in Prachuap Khiri Khan we need to find that place! Joe and Gift, we just love to see you both on the same video.
Congratulations🎉🎉🎉 Joe & Gift keep posting video we're like your style of thinking. We will follow your information and plan to build our house in Thailand after we move back soon. Nokky & Mike from Seattle.
. Enjoying your building experience , love watching you go through the motion.Jack in the Box chicken dance? if she hasn’t u should show it to her on youtube;
This will be interesting to follow, as my wife and I did the same thing, but we did it all long distance. Having a house built in Thailand while we are in America was challenging, but with the help of a good friend we got it done. We were there when it got finished in Dec 2019 to handle the paper work, then the "situation" hit right after that so we couldn't get back earlier but now looking forward to starting my retirement there this year. The house is in my wife's name but my name is on it too so I'm protected but I trust my wife 100 percent so shouldn't matter.
Glad to see this video after coming over from FJ. I'm pumped to watch your new home construction process. I've been a project manager for one of the largest builders in the USA. For the last 30 yrs I've been a home inspector and insurance adjuster. So I know a TON about the mistakes and failures people make in construction. So I'm looking forward to commenting if I think it'll help. Best of luck 👍 I'm so excited for you!!
Hi gift and joe great blog as always gift and joe useful information about Thailand joe thanks for sharing these things hope you are both well stay safe from frank in the uk London
We moved from Bangkok to near Chiang Rai for the same reasons as you Joe! We purchased 9.6 Rai of farmland about 39 km NE of the city. We filled three Rai with 1.25m of dirt and dug to large ponds on one Rai behind the house. Enjoying the cooler weather and nice breezes.
Hi Joe and Gift, we are Russ & Addy (Srikanlaya) and live in Hua Hin now for 7 years next month. We enjoy your videos and are happy to move over here to your new channel. Have watched a few of yours and also a few of Chocolate Man's (Greg ?). Addy has a business here in HH and I have been retired now for 10+ years. I was a photog in the states for about 44 years or so. OH, Addy asked if you are. near one of the three coves there ? :)
Joe that is a lot of good information you shared with us and most is new to myself. I will wish you and Gift all the best with building your new house. As you know, building a house can be a very stressful endeavor and can really test a relationship. I think you and Gift will be fine, BEST WISHES.
