New Modern Upcountry Thai Village $73,000 Scenic Views

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ส.ค. 2024
- We were searching for a golf course when we happened upon a new housing development, The Miracle Plus. They started selling detached homes on single blocks of land in this village about 2 years ago and have just begun building the homes in stage 2.
We had already fallen in love with the Province of Ratchaburi and now we’re in love with this new village. The village is situated very close to Panurangsi Golf Club. The course isn’t of the highest standard, however it’s cheap to play and the caddies are very friendly.
Let's just hope that there's still one available for us to buy once we're ready to move.
We hope that you enjoyed watching this video.
Please put any questions that you might have in the comments section below. I will do my best to answer as quickly and as accurately as possible.

We look forward to seeing you back here again very soon.

But if you want up country and just bought some land what could you build for 73,000? A lot more
G'Day
Nice to hear from you again.
You could build a bigger or more upmarket house for the money if you were to build outside of a gated community.
But there are a few things that you need to take into consideration.
Will you be able to find a reputable and reliable builder?
You will potentially have to act as the Site Manager for the build to ensure that everything is done properly and on time. The build will take around 6 months to complete.
A gated community offers the convenience of 24 hour security and in many cases, a pool, a gym, a clubhouse and maintained gardens.
The gated community village committee can prevent your neighbour from turning their house into a shop / restaurant.
Thanks for your question

@@OurLifeThai Just finished a 134 sq meter house in Sanpatong, 107 wah gorgeous lot, private, high quality construction, far nicer than any other I've seen. Same price, 1.4 million. Includes eight foot wall, chrome gate, five months to build. Done by Threepinthee in Chiang Mai.
The 4BE/3BA was my favorite. Fantastic layout, huge windows with plenty of natural light, pleasant views, nice balcony. Only $144K. A great home for a family or entertaining guests.
👍🙏
VERY COOL HOMES, THANKS U 2. COOL LITTLE CAR U ALL WENT IN..
HEY ZMAN
WE LOVE LOOKING AT HOUSES. 😍

Thanks Brad & Ta , great review.

Very nice video Brad imformative and eye opening on what the high end market is like there 👍😊
👌👍😍🙏
Interesting and informative vlog, beautiful houses. The young lady certainly was stunning . Nice vlog as always.
😎😍👍🙏
Loved the video Brad & Ta. I really think that Thailand is going places and has a wonderful future. I'll be there in a weeks time with my Mrs to look at some apartments. My dream would be to spend six months there and six months back in Melbourne. Hopefully lady luck has my back. Cheers guys and keep up the great content, it's very entertaining.
Thanks mate
Best of luck with your plans.

Hello formworksucks, I'm thekiltedaussie also from Melbourne, maybe we should catch up, I've been to Thailand 5 times this year, Chiang Mai, Phitsanulok and a short stay in Bangkok
Those mountains are quite impressive! Nice village, and various designs to choose from. Another informative real estate vlog.
👍😍🙏
Awsome video..
thanks....
Thanks for the inf
👍🙏
Looks like a nice place. Pretty setting.
😍😍😍🙏
For this price I think it's really really nice! I love it!
👍🙏
Rocking those Kiwi tees guys😊👏. Choice!
😎😎😎🙏
Sawadee krub guys. Subbed. Thanks 🙏🏻
👍😊🙏
That is a great view.. here in the desert we don't have mountains or water. LOL
Very nice homes and tour
👍🙏
Nice houses! And also nice lady!
👍😍🙏
Thank you for you video you giving us the idea. My husband and might be the place for us to retire.USA
Lovely couple
👍😁🙏
I like your Tee Shirts !! ha ha Kiwi bias.
👍😍🙏
I had an eye in the project also but half way thru getting there it’s provincial and lack of amenities made me change my mind! Beautiful place at the middle of nowhere not an ideal retirement indeed! Personally anyway. Just the thought how long will get Ta to work & back each day? Most important you must drive ! Great vlogg yet again now I saw it with my own eyes thanks Ta & Brad ja :)
G'Day
In Thailand if you live away from a major city or a tourist area, you're better off owning a car.
Don't know what this video has to do with Ta going to work and back. 🤣🤣🤣
By the way, "middle of nowhere" sounds like the perfect retirement location for Ta and I.
Take care
Brad & Ta
The show unit is always nice ice.
👍😍🙏
Your tour guide is a living doll 🍺
🤔👌
Yes she is☺
Very interesting. Presumably can only be owned by a Thai national or can a farang lease? In Thailand do they have builders warranty like Australia? What do you think it would cost for a complete fit out to a good standard (kitchen etc)?
Thanks for the tour. How far from shopping?
Hi brad , the 2nd house you had on was very nice , very nicely designed , I noticed the electrical plugs turned horizontal , here they are vertical. Electric fences to keep the 🦖🦖🦖’s our like on jerassic park . House, in ground pool here for tour lady, she make a nice wife I’m sure , John from Harwinton Ct 🇺🇸
😍👍🙏
Almost tempted to move to Thailand...
👍😁🙏
Both of you dress alike ... So cute
👍😇😇🙏
Can't imagine seeing my real estate toes and then buying the house their selling. Guess why I live in Sydney😜
House 2 and 3 are lovely if i had to pick due to my self being disabled it would be house 3 all on the flat.
Wow great value for money, and nicely done. How far from bkk is the new estate?
Hey Grant
It's about 120km's from the Bangkok CBD.

Brad & Ta
Hi Brad and Ta. Do any homes there have a garage? I never see them in the videos. Always a car park slip in front but never covered or completely
enclosed.
G'Day Bill
Not very often.
Only the most expensive homes that are housing the most expensive cars would have a "garage".
Take care
Brad & Ta
We have just designed our house for Khon Kaen with a double enclosed garage with access from the house, the architect find it a bit odd for sure.
Hi Brad & Ta ~ How long will it take from this new home to Bangkok? Thank
Nice development. Comparable houses in and around Bangkok proper will cost 4 to 6 times more depending on location. But I haven’t priced new homes in the last 2 to 3 years. If you don’t work in the city this place looks ideal. What is the commute time into Bangkok proper during off traffic hours? Is there any mass transit out in this direction?
G'Day Paul
Welcome to Our Life Thai
Bangkok is probably a 2 hour drive with good traffic.
The Province of Ratchaburi has one train station and the trip to Bangkok takes about 2.5 hours.
Take care
Brad & Ta
Man! That's a heck of a deal. I could sell my house in Seattle, buy that single story place and have 247k left over. Problem is, I don't really want to buy something I can't own.
That said, I wouldn't mind renting there.
No doubt. A fool and his money are soon parted.
You are allowed to own an apartment in your own name. No back yard but less maintenance.
It seems that I read a lot of complaints from people not wanting to potentially lose money to a Thai partner over property.
Seriously, it's all relative.
The possibility of losing $73,000 is a much better option than the hundred's of thousands that I actually did lose to my Aussie ex wife.
Marriage can be a gamble.
Real estate can be a gamble.
Life is the biggest gamble of all.
Whether to buy or to rent - as the Thais say, Up to You. ;-)
Just make sure that whatever you do decide, that it is actually YOUR decision and not someone else's.
Nobody in the United States owns their property .they just rent it from the US government . 50 years of taxes is probably about what your property is worth.
Hi brad and ta i suppose they are a low price compared with australian prices i think the 4 bedroom worked out at around 200 grand au ,but after that you have to fit it out so probably may be looking at 250 or less ,here were i live a block in a subdivision will cost you 150 then your house ,the houses are so close they almost use the entire block and your back yard is about the same size as what you showed and also around the house good video does the state have a maintenance fee ? some of the new ones i have heard do for upkeep and security ,not so much a fan of the big windows and sliders mainly for security reasons and privacy anyway good video take care .
Hey Chris
The monthly fee is calculated based on the land size of your property.
20 baht per 4 square metres.
A hell of a lot cheaper than local government council rates in Sydney.
Take care
Brad & Ta
Hello is there a village nearby like you have at your current place and would it be further for ta to travel to work ,I know its a new development but I feel this location would take a long time to build a community spirit like you have now ,I feel neighbours and community spirit is an integral part of happiness blessings salut
G'Day
We don't have any plans to move from our village.
Take care
I cracked up when you called Ta 'Yai'...
😇😇😇👍🙏
As I've seen "new" developments in China that after a couple years, start following apart. I'd be interested if you drove around an "older" "new" development...so we could see how it holds up after the humidity / weather and what kind of materials they used to build.
G'Day Ethan
The first residents moved into this village 2 years ago.
Take care
Brad & Ta
Too bad I'm only 42 or else I would take that offer haha. Once you buy the house can you start knocking down walls to suit a different layout? I would get the 5 bedroom and turn it into 3 larger bedrooms. Maybe extend the kitchen. I know I know such a western way of thinking.
Looks good. do they have Home owners Associations there or by-laws you have to live by? (can you make a dirty kitchen for example)
G'Day Roger
Welcome to Our Life Thai
Yes, they do have regulations as to what you can and can't do to your property.
For instance, you can't turn your house into a shop / restaurant.
Take care
Brad & Ta
Nice looking tall Thai girl. The price of the houses is much much cheaper than in Singapore.
👍😍🙏
It would be interesting to see how these are priced now in the 2021 economy.
Are you guys relocating? Will it be closer to Ta's work? Good luck to you.
G'Day
No, we're not moving anywhere.
It's just a video to show our TH-cam friends.
Take care
Brad & Ta
maybye somewhere nearer ta's work brad ,a 3 hour ride each way must be a nightmare for the poor lady!
😱😱😱
If those houses to be rented then
how much is going to be ?
Could you please let me know ?
I really like these houses near by
golf course like you mention it.
G'Day
It's not that common for Thais to purchase a "single house" as an investment property (particularly upcountry) and therefore not much chance of renting one of these homes.
Have a great day
Brad & Ta
@@OurLifeThai
Thanks !
Go on mate buy one a lot cheaper then 3802 and a nice out look
👍👍👍😁🙏
NICE VIDEO, VERY INFORMATIVE. I'LL TAKE THE FIRST HOUSE AND THE GIRL, I'M 71LOL
😲👌👍
just subscribed good videos I'm 36 and have been dreaming of moving to Thailand what would be the best way to get a visa to stay for a long period
G'Day Joe
Either get a job in Thailand or marry a Thai.
The following is a list of jobs that you can't do:
www.mol.go.th/en/content/page/6347
Come and do a educational visa for one year for Thai language and learn about way of staying from being here, talk to other students that are or have found ways to stay long term, the one year visa will give the opportunity to get a real taste of what it is like, depending on how quick you are to settle down, marriage can happen fast or if you want to take your time you can stretch out further university studies for 4-6 years before settling for marriage visas and then there is business visas you can do, depending on your age, education history and for business your budget I guess.. then there is always long term tourist visas depending what country your from, Many western countries etc can stay up to 9 mths a year if you don't mind going to other neighboring countries for a 4-5 months a year, sometimes its good to have break from thailand to appreciate fully, but remember it's thailand you gotta pay
Quite a nice complex.
😎👍🙏
Hey Brad- said 225 meters I came up to 2421.88 square feet if that’s correct it’s pretty good size!
👀
very nice.. if only foreigners could own land in thailand. I wonder why that is they cannot? I'd like to know the thought process in that decision. In the U S anyone can buy property
G'Day Billy
I support the Thai policy to prevent foreign land ownership.
I don't believe that they are protecting their country from farang, but more likely from countries like China, Japan and Korea.
Potentially half of Thailand (if not more) would be foreign owned if their law allowed it, particularly their farmland.
Take care
Brad & Ta
you have a point.
Hey great video😃 Full watch😎 BiG like👍your supporters🙏 here in Pattaya

ill take the place if she comes with the house ha
👍😲👌🙏
Well, I'm 75 so I qualify on age but the Sin-Sod is a little high for my pocketbook. LOL
Pick the right girl & sin-sod shouldn't be a problem. 👍😁🙏
The house is nice..........The estate agent is nicer ! 🙏👍🙏
👍👌🙏
The Sales Girl is beautiful
👍🙏
These must be leasehold vs freehold as they are detached. Are you able to purchase these freehold without a thai business or thai spouse?
Very nice. Do they finance or do you pay cash.
G'Day
It's very unlikely that a Thai bank would provide finance for a home loan in a foreigners name.
Take care
Do we have to for association fee?
If you can own the land and house. I recommend buy it and live in it for 10 year. You will save 10 years rent, and when you sell it in 10 years, the price might doubled or tripled.
You won't save ten years of rent. You'll have tied up the money in the property. So the first thing you need to do is deduct from the rent you'd pay the dividends you'd receive from an equivalent investment in shares. Then look at the maintenance of the property. Then look at buying and selling costs. Then...😄
Looks like Lopburi
Brad, would Ta be any closer to her work to help shorten the commute?
G'Day Wayne
The village is 120km's from Bangkok and so, no it's not closer. 😆
We're not looking to move anywhere, we're just showing people what's available.
Take care
Brad & Ta
Are you guys living in Bangkok or outside of Bangkok ? When you call village is that the same thing like subdivisions?
G'Day
We live in the Province of Samut Prakan and our village is about 20km's from the Bangkok CBD.
A housing estate, subdivision or gated community is referred to as a village in Thai.
Have a great day
Brad & Ta
Our Life Thai what is CBD
Can you lease a home There? Or lease land and own the structure?
Don’t know bout house but sells girl is beautiful
😲
I would date your tour guide, pass on my details haha
Are you over 70?
Not for a while Brad haha
nice town house can foreigner buy it? non Thai.
Put a hide-a-bed couch or a Murphy bed in the old folks bedroom and make it a home office/video editing space. your guide is what i like to call the quintessential guide as they are almost always very attractive, clipboard in hand and only speak when spoken to. They are well trained not to offer unsolicited information. Be sure to ask about Monthly maintenance fee's that home owners are responsible for ie: anything outside of their mortgage and property tax payments like water, hydro, cable, internet, water and solid waste etc. this is of course from my Canadian home owner perspective, and if i may say your guide is so lovely. Looking for a foreigner BF/Husband? hehe couldn't let that go unsaid :)
G'Day Wil
Nice to hear from you again.
Our "quintessential guide" was a salesperson and therefore wouldn't shut up. 😀
But she spoke very little English, hence the reason that she wasn't talking to me.
Take care

Love the tour guide....
Would love to meet and if we get along well, marry

Is she(realtor comes with the house?
😱😱😱

A Thai woman having a relationship with a much older and much wealthier 'farang' man. No, you'll never see that over there!
Greetings from New Zealand don’t miss the Nz tshirt great video
😍👍🙏
Next time can you ask if can put in
Foreigners name .
In the Philippines some townhouses can be in foreigner
Name .
They must be desperate to get western foreniners! typical pinoys
I thought as foreigner we can only buy apartment in condos?
First off an apartment is a room/s in a building owned by one person/company and you can only rent. Condos can be freehold as long as the quota is 51% Thai owners or more. These are freehold but some condos are leasehold. Because you are not paying for the land they can be cheaper but not so much in central Bangkok as the land is in some of the best areas.
A house you also buy leasehold. If you buy land through a Thai partner wife girlfriend ask about a usufruct to protect your right to live there no matter what
Where upcountry?
If you ever buy make sure they do not put shinny tiles on the floor. If tiles ever get wet it is like standing on ice you will slip and fall and possibly break something. No such thing is high standard in Thailand its called Asian quality. All the wood is to hold up the forms for 2nd floor.
George Johnson - For tiles you would look at the specification called coefficient of friction. It will tell you how much frictional difference there is between wet and dry on the tiles surface. I hoped you learned something besides perceived standards.
Fidelity Qyester I am a General Contractor from America Silicon Valley California 5th generation union carpenter. And now living in Thailand FYI.
George Johnson - How do you say ‘Asian Quality’ in Thai?
Asian getdee for good getmydee for bad Why?????
What a crock of shit if you are a contractor you wouldn't say such a stupid thing. There are some fantastic buildings in Bangkok you clown
Nice video Brad & Ta. I have my Sin Sod ready for that gorgeous girl. However since I'm 40 years old I get the discount rate which means she pays me 1 million baht and I show her how special she is to me. I love true love
👌🤣🤣🤣
Heavy Coke Addict v
Thank you, I kept looking at her hand to see if she’s married.... because I like to dream. And I have a thing for tall Thai girls only because it seems they are far too few. I don’t mean ladyboy tall either.
I think I’m spoiled, I am always disappointed if not all bedrooms are on suite bathrooms.
I no have money for sin-sot. 😝
Fidelity Quester
What's wrong with a tall
Ladyboy ???
There a lot more Fun
JJ - If you have to ask, you would never understand.
I've yet to meet any farang's who live like this,mostly the one's I know,built house in the village areas that they live with there wives & girlfriends.
G'Day
That's because they allow their Thai wives / girlfriends to control where they live. 😎
And once the farang husband is either dead or divorced, the Thai "family" will continue to live in the house in their desired location.

Why the New Zealand T Shirts?

They were supplied by a very generous Kiwi subscriber. :-)
You don't think that an Aussie would have gone out and actually bought NZ t-shirts!!!

You know what, now you mention it I've never seen a kiwi with an Aussie one either! But saying that, after the bledisloe cup rugby slaughtering the all blacks gave you, you should be happy to wear kiwi shirts and join the winners!
Hey Brenton
Happy to wear the t-shirt, I feel like I'm supporting a little brother.
I know how the Kiwi's look up to their Aussie big brothers. 😜
A bit too much of a commute for Ta!
Very nice homes though.
😜🙏
did you buy her her dream home???
Too far from our work unfortunately
It would a lot cheaper if you get it built yourself
👌
Why don't they plumb for a hot water tank? I just don't understand that. Might as well have a outhouse. LOL Too bad we can't retire and buy a home in Thailand. I really don't want a new wife..
I’m 52 please tell her I’m interested
👍😎🙏
Do you really want your kitchen in your living room?
G'Day
I assume that you're very been inside a Thai persons house!
Welcome to life in Thailand.
In actual fact, Thais tend to do the majority of their cooking outside of the house or in a room attached to the house.
Take care
Brad & Ta
Kitchen in the living room...I mean it's not a studio
G'Day
Welcome to Our Life Thai
It's Thailand and Thais don't generally care about having a kitchen inside the house.
They would happily do all their cooking outside.
As I stated in the video, the house isn't even sold with a kitchen installed.
Take care
Brad & Ta
That two story house is only $73,000? Omg! So cheap and so pretty too
👍🙏
2.4 mil bhat
Those are some nice homes, but $144,000? You can get something nice in the rural US for that kind of money.
Detroit is always an option.
I think I read something about homes for a $100 in Chicago. If you buy a house in Thailand you'll be missing out on the multiculturalism that you could experience in Chicago.
@@watermelonseedless8967 Nobody in Asia has hot water heaters, always some funky electric add-on. Central AC is nonexistent in residential RE. I'll take Chicago.
Paul Sommerhalder Where do you get that nonsense? Funny, I have been living in southern China for quite a few years and we have NEVER gone without both hot water and HVAC. While some locals may not typically have hot water in Thailand where the temperature seldom drops below "sweating" , I quite prefer a cold shower in the summer. Meanwhile distributed tankless hot water heaters and split HVAC units have become extremely common throughout China and SE Asia. Similarly, gas is an exremely common option. Additionally, split units allow for more effective zoned climate control saving quite a bit of money. Given that they typically have so many more practical point of service tankless hot water and heating options (if needed), May I suggest going easier on the erroneous stereotypes and becoming a bit more familiar with reality. ;-)
@@sdushdiu In the video, Brad makes a point in seeing if there are electrical hookups for heating water in each shower stall. In another video of theirs, a generous viewer purchased a wall mounted shower water heating unit for Brad and Ta because they couldn't take a hot shower in their home. They hired a contractor to run the electic so they could install it. Why Thai builders don't run hot and cold lines from a central point is a mystery to me. These are new and really-nice places, and first-world snobs like me want hot water everywhere. Does China run hot and cold water lines in their construction? Didn't mean any offense, but these units could have been built to first world specs.
How much is your house in Sydney worth?
Smart idea to buy is a good location and not fight with your spouse. Real smart to not live near her family.
Do yourself a favor take the $ 73,000 , $107,000 or the $144,000 and buy a home in your country so it’s in your name . Rent the house out you’ll get about $ 1,000 a month take that money and rent a nice home in Thailand for $ 500 a month. If you have a long term
Thai lady you can Will the home to her when you pass away.

A foreigner in Thai is (Chaw tang chat) not that racist word farang. A foreigner can not have freehold for a house, can have thirty years leasehold . A foreigner can not set up a company just to buy a house that is Thai law .

Take care
Our Life Thai What? Really? Of all the videos about “living in Thailand”, I have seen on TH-cam, this is the first I’ve ever heard that.
@@michaelcooksey7232 True. A condo will come with a kitchen, but a new house built in a housing development like this will not include a kitchen.
If you are having a house built yourself (in your wife's village for example. 🤭), obviously you would have it built to your own specifications.
The reason you haven't seen this before is that the majority of "farang" houses are built in the wife's village.
This is mainly done for 2 reasons.
1. Your new wife wants to be close to her family.
2. The house will be utilized by the "family" after the farang husbands death or after divorce.
Take care
Our Life Thai thanks, good information. I don’t have a wife, I have a husband and yes, he wants a house near family.
Great
Are you planning on moving to Thailand?
73k to live upcountry?! Are they kidding? Thanks for killing any ideas I may have had that there were still regions of Thailand financially accessible with a small fixed income. I may as well just find a place in rural Georgia, Alabama, or Louisiana and just pretend I’m in Thailand.
👍👌🙏
zencat, but Thailand is more fun. Rural America is boring.
