I had my condo renovated in Pattaya. A very simple renovation. A new kitchen, 3 new bathrooms and cosmetic painting and polishing wooden floor. I paid almost 2 million baht and the highest quote I had was 6 million baht. Thailand is not cheap for this type of thing , it’s a complete myth. I’m from UK and definitely I think the same work in UK would be cheaper.
Even better is to get a Thai person to negotiate the price for you which will definitely be lower than any price quoted to a farang.@@PloyandJayinThailand
@@PloyandJayinThailandThe problem is if you can’t speak Thai you need a company that has English speaking project manager but definitely the labour rates are very expensive. The 6 million baht quote was from a foreigner who has a renovation company. Too expensive as you definitely don’t add 6 million in value. I haven’t even added 2 million in value so definitely lost money. I don’t think I’d dare to take on a complete house build.
Company is 3 time more expensive. They charge way over for everything. You can notice what cars they use then I know enough. 😉😉😉😉. We checked many company or foremen. Finaly we found one foreman with working team but ok had to wait 1 year. Glad we did it. It now finished and beautiful.
The problem is, as they build adjacent houses, you're going to be living in a construction zone which means ever present noise. A lot of pollution and dust in the air. I don't think you're going to be too happy.
To drill a own well including big solar panels (including everythig) 70 meters deep near Kumpawapi cost 75ooo Bath. So you are independent and allways clear and clean water for free!!!
Make sure to be present during the installation of the new main water pipe and concrete road. They will cut your water pipe to grandmother’s house (by mistake)
I'm wondering where is the water meter for Ploy's grandmother across the street. Because I would have thought they could connect you just before that meter, so you could have your own meter, but still be a very short run of pipe across the road, that would only cost 1000baht or so.
Wow! 100,000 baht is too expensive for 200m of buried pipe. I bought the heavy-duty pipe and valves, rented a small excavator and paid two workers 500 baht (daily) to install everything. Check out the pipe prices yourself. They do very little digging to prep the road before pouring concrete. You might need to pour a section between the road and your driveway.
We are fine now as we are connected with the family pipeline. Near future, the water company will install new connections in our area as the concrete road coming with new houses. Then the price is 10-20k “only”. And we have still an option to stick current set up 👌🙏
@@PloyandJayinThailand I think of well drilling in mountains 150-200m deep.It costs a bit much. But it's worth the job.At the same time the quality wather is very good
Some things are worth the wait I guess...9 mos ago you could of paid 100k baht and had 9 mos of city water but now with all the development on the horizon it looks like you saved yourself 100k...so the big question is what to do with the savings!....a sauna maybe?

Great news Jay. I am very happy for you both!
Thanks, Bill

Big differences especially when they see you are a foreigner. Good to do some shopping and not hurry with a big investment 👌

@@kellywalker4494 challenge if you don't speak Thai or do not have a Thai partner. Six million sounds way overpriced

you realy don´t know yet, only time will tell.

@@mancello who says you must be home 24/7 😂we are traveling a lot and likely not be much here while the biggest dust sessions
@@PloyandJayinThailandit’s a headache 😢😢😢
How big is your home? how big is your lot?
165 sqm home, 400sqm land

Thanks for sharing
Can no one drill the well for water?
People have bad experiences with wells in our area
Is your cesspit at the back of your house? I think it is. How will you empty it when people build around you? Just wondering
Yes, it’s back. We’ll leave that challenge to the cesspit company 😂

Anything is possible 🤔many pipes going under the ground - hopefully they know what they are doing

@@georgegibson707 The water meter is far away and PWA didn't allow us to connect the same line
@@PloyandJayinThailand OK, I see now, thanks.

isn't it just as good to drill a deep well. Then you have private access to water.

@@steinlokket you must go very deep to get quality water for sure
@@PloyandJayinThailand yes, that was the intention.100 -150 meter is normal.i have doit self in europe
