thank you for sharing your build. the house looks stunning! very nice music in your video as well. i am considering a 2-3 month stay in a few months to be with my parents in Phrae. normally living in usa. i look forward to watching more of your videos. =)
@guyin916 - thanks for watching and commenting! We are back in Thailand at the moment, should be uploading some new videos in the next few days. The house is starting to fade a bit, need to get it sanded and a fresh coat of varnish. But really enjoy the house and the deck space to chill. Thanks again!
My whole house is teak, and washers are used everywhere. My builder threw a wobbly when he saw a worker had forgotten them. In time, the house will start to move a bit without them.
Nice video but the singing and music at the beginning was distracting. So happy when it stopped! Sala is the name of the seating huts you mentioned. Very interesting to see them assemble the house! Did I miss the part when you tell the cost?
@MrEye4get - Thanks for the comment. Sorry for that intro music, thought it was nice and poppy as far as intro music goes. Anyway, thanks for providing the name of the seating hut. And I did mention the cost in an indirect way to appease my wife. You can find it here, just average out the range 😁. th-cam.com/video/fh_spOFQmsM/w-d-xo.html
@joachimguth6226 - there is a small attiic between the roof and the room inside. The attic has a vent but certainly the wood frame is not as good at retaining the temperature as concrete would. We added an A/C unit and it does a good job when used. Just not as efficient as it could be.
We had built one like that in 2010...Teak bungalow as it was...beautiful...came with a nice detached gazebo...put it on our farm in Kamphaeng Phet....I opted for the wooden tile roof because it was so Thai looking and for the farm style....alas I would have to replace it about 4yrs later as the termites had their way with it...don't think it was teak..lol....we changed to a steel and ceramic one...and yes...there are no Teak bungalows being sold that are not mixed wood...its just not all that possible...firstly teak wood is protected and so all teak lumber is registered to the province it came from and to transport any of it out of that province you'll need a special permit...even for teak furniture...(we got stopped on the road by police for teak furniture in our truck) some builders get permits but hardly ever for a complete build...so they use ironwood or another hardwood...doors may be teak, some carvings, and main support columns and bottom frame...but plenty of other decent wood...it can last but treated wood in Thailand needs to be retreated about every three years as well as the varnish being reapplied every couple years....ours being in a rural farm setting had rats chew through the 2x4s in the walls and basically made a race course thought the whole house after a number of years...it was about 10k US to build I think at the time....I still think it was worth it...I'm not too concerned over termites and rats....they can be controlled...two years ago we went back and kicked some ass on that....so when we get back this summer we'll likely do it again...I also want to raise it higher off the ground than the two feet or so it is....maybe do an add on....just a little project bungalow as I see it now....it will likely be a guest house as we also plan to build a home on the property this year...
@Craig Garrison - Wow, interesting. I hear the same thing abput termites from my wife, but then you see some beautiful teak decks, makes me think now they must need to invest in protecting it. Then again, perhaps it's not teak and some other hardwood? Need to spend a little more time getting to understand what the wood options are in Thailand. Thanks for the education, much appreciated! Good luck this summer, are you outside of Thailand or just not on the farm? Cheers!
@@freddyjingjo - from what I recall around 250,000 baht. I think the wood needs to be re-varnished every 5 or so years, and it will certainly last longer than 20 years. I think upkeep is always needed on any structure. Cheers!
my wife used the teak from her parents old house but did'nt have enough she went to burma over the bridge on the river kwai, they would''nt sell her any she was in a cafe and the owner said give me a list of your requirements the wood was there in a couple of hours.
Lovely video, my wife and I are in the process of building an 'Ayutthaya' style house in Krabi near the Ko Lanta ferry. We also are having a smaller house built, in the same style, which looks to be of a similar size to your project. The difference is, ours is costing near 1 million and doesn't have a river view! Lol. The main house, which is up on stilts, is costing about 3 million, so I envy your costs! Best of luck for the future.
@John Gledhill - Thanks for the comment. And congrats on your new builds! Are you currently residing in Thailand now? I would expect costs to be higher where you are at. Looks like a beautiful area.
@@MarkChomiczewski , I have been in Phuket on and off for over 5 years, but because of covid have been unable to leave for a year, poor me! Lol. We managed to get near 4 Rai for about 2 million(in Phuket you would be lucky to get 100 sq.metres for that price), a rubber plantation with chinote.
Hey Mark, nice guest house. Just want to see if those guys can travel outside of your area. I bought land for my wife in kalasin and looking for a builder. Thank you

I came too Thailand six years ago and I had the plans to build a concrete house.One day in my car I saw this wooden house and I feel in love with it.I found the builder and now I have a beautiful wooden house.Now the truth ! It turns out the builder wasn't using all teak wood and some soft wood internal.My lady talked to the guy and half way through he ran out of money so I had to finish in myself with more money.That is not the worse thing ! the Termites moved in and started to eat my house.You don't even know they are there until it's too late.I have spend big money on spray to kill them and on repairs.I came from NZ and many houses are wood but no Termites.I found out too late so now I tell people don't build a wooden house in Thailand !!
@David Martin - Thanks for the comment, and sorry to hear about the termites. My wife also tells me there can be potential issues with termites, but in your case are they eating the teak wood or the soft wood, or both? You see so many beautiful wooden homes there I assumed people are treating the wood to prevent this issue. Thank you again for your comment.

19.41 No washers between nuts & timber bolts, I live here & washers are normaly used being quite large & thick, ~ 1.5 to 2".
Yeah, seems they use them in some places but not others.
My whole house is teak, and washers are used everywhere. My builder threw a wobbly when he saw a worker had forgotten them. In time, the house will start to move a bit without them.

How did you seal the roof for heat protection?
