- In this follow up video to the visit to the new neighbors Thai wooden knockdown house I get to go inside and take a look at some exceptional planning and handiwork of the Thai builders. I also share a quick update on my progress on securing my stairs with cement at the bamboo palace and we take a look at the progress of the excavator as he continues to dig out the dirt for the new fish canals!
The new homeowner has used the same builder who built ours and they are quite skilled at making these beautiful and even custom wood homes all over Thailand! The links to the company are below!

I love the concept of these houses.
Personally not a fan of the dark teak inside, but outside it looks amazing.
Will probably have to settle for a much smaller knock down house for myself on land available to me. Probably more of a knock-down room with aircon, and outdoor kitchen and shower. Luckily I don't need much.
We'll see!
Thanks...and actually the wood can be varnished without stain thus leaving it much more bright...they hand mix to the customers liking...some have dark outside and light inside....and you can get a beautiful studio knockdown with a porch and all for as low as 200k baht or just over 5k USD...'Just Do It"...lol
@@unclecraigbaannawk I want to do it!
.. but I do not have that 5k USD out of pocket right now! ;__;
@@pejfectlife hang in there...good things come to those who wait...!
Great house, my favorite thing about knock down houses is you can add to them were needed so very easy for a family to add rooms as the family gets bigger.
indeed...add-ons are easy...as well as relocating the whole house...lol
That is so awesome!!!!
Thanks man…yeah these homes are really kinda cool….
With less concrete you might be able to cool down the land.
Indeed concrete is a magnet for heat as well…my house actually is open on the bottom… th-cam.com/video/6wsNew4_028/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_hUpSM_G7TY-gcqQ
Do you own that scaffolding?
Yeah…bought it at global house…1500bht…
Sorry to say mate you need to either put the grinder guard back on or piss that timber cutting disc in the bin
Buy a good hand saw or multi tool
You are lucky you have all your fingers imagining life with three fingers
yeah I think that blades going to be welded to the wall art...lol...and the guard was on the first time it happened and that one was worse...lol...that grinder just has wicked amount of torque!
Nice house. Is there a septic field for the sewage, or is it a pump out? I take it a well has been drilled and, as you stated, waiting for power to be hooked up
The owner has placed a septic tank ball for black water waste and a cement ring grey water ...no well or power yet...the owner may have city water piped in...if not he will have to rely on delivery until the city extends the infrastructure or drill a well ...they did give him and estimate of 200k for infrastructure to reach his property...I've told him to just make a solar pump and well...
Nice นะครับ..
Thanks!...love the Thai style...
Never seen someone bang their head or trip as much as you 😂
Haha…we’ll how many do you watch doing all the shit I’m doing…lol
Great video - Are they expensive to build?
Relatively speaking…no not really…however like any build …additional customization may increase costs..
So I gather you have permission?👍
Yes but don’t need it because we don’t have Karen’s here…lol
Great Video & House
Thanks Tommy!...you'll have to see it all in person one day!
Nice video, how much for the foundation?
I believe the concrete foundation was about 160k baht...its pretty robust...mine on the other hand was about 70k
My house in Isarn was eaten by termites.Never again..Beware.
Thanks…just over two years…nothing yet….I’ll keep an eye out…
That would look amazing if he kept the exposed brickwork on the bottom. They would need to use another brick and do the finish a little nicer but it would be totally worth it. I see good brick in Thailand from time to time but it doesn't seem to be that popular, not sure why.
I agree...and in my own search I did find nice looking brick...western style if you will...but they are nearly triple to cost of the rather crunchy looking standard Thai bricks...lol... so that may be cost prohibitive for many...they also make a 'veneer' cut of nice brick which looks great and is a bit cheaper as its only about .25 inch thick...this owner is also going to paint his external walls a shade of army green I think so we'll have to see what the finished product looks like...I'm sure it will be gorgeous....
@@unclecraigbaannawkyeah I've seen those veneer bricks before and they can look good if done right.
Cool house. What is the ceiling height for the bottom level?
not sure but its probably the same as ours, and that's 8ft or about 2.5 meters...big enough to park the truck...and tall enough not to smack my head...lol
What up bro
Hafa adai brother…how’s the weather there man….u staying out of trouble brah…lol
Is it possible to move there if you are not Thai/don’t have a Thai wife? European
Couple here…
Short answer…yes!
Why are you calling them wooden "knockdown" houses? They are simply wooden Thai-style houses. Knock-down houses have a normal concrete foundation as every other house. What makes them different is that the walls are made of a steel framework with so-called Shera Wood panels on the outside and sometimes plaster on the inside of the walls. They are cute but difficult to maintain and harder to cool.
Hiya....actually they have been called knockdown houses for decades...the Thai word (ล้มลง) sounds like 'lomlong' means knockdown, and a house like ours (different video) is often said as 'baan lomlong' or knockdown house. Although, the recent knockdown house of my neighbor, shown in the video has now added concrete walls so it's a bit less of a knockdown as more permanent features are applied. The company who built the house also uses knockdown in their name. The more modern version of a knockdown house as you mention with cement and steel frame is rather a spinoff from the original Thai knockdown house concept, because it is easy to construct in a shorter period of time than a traditional concrete home'...so they use that name in promotion of their product...but the reality is that a Thai knockdown house made of wood is what a true Thai knockdown house represents as you can simply unbolt it and pull some nails to 'knock it down' and move it to a different location as many Thais have done in earlier days and still do...they don't really need a cement foundation although today many are bolted to a foundation so the occupants can make use of the lower level, such as ours...The companies that build many Thai wooden knockdown houses use old wood by going out to the villages and buying a very old house 'knocking it down' piece by piece and bringing it back to the company and then processing the wood by cutting it, sanding it, refilling wood putty, and then treating it etc, and rebuilding the house on their site to be sold. When its sold, they then 'knock it down' again to deliver it in part or whole depending on size. The newer version with steel and Shera board, which more appropriately should probably be called a 'prefabricated home' does not have this capability and as you mentioned are cute and harder to cool...As for my Thai knockdown house it's just as cool as my concrete house during the summer, as the air-conditioning in both work fine. Currently, and it has only been two years, but maintenance doesn't seem to be an issue either, but we'll keep an eye out!...lol...sorry for the rather long winded reply..
