Hi miy name is Kingy.I have recently met your father inlaw, a really lovely and helpful guy. He travelled down t nong bua lamphu to give us a quote on building a small house for my wifes parents and for holidays for my wife and kids.
The design is balinese/western style, about 100sq mtr with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It's built up over one off the ground, got aluminium windows ad glass sliding doors and a sheet plaster internal roof instead of plaster tiles.
Kitchen will be thai style and both toilets are farang style.
I've attached plans and a picture of a house that it will be similar to.

My Father inlaw lives in Udon and is a very respected man and builder.
I am in Australia and married to his daughter.
I have seen many of his projects and depends on what you are looking for. We have just bought Rai in Udon and are getting him to build on it.
You will get ripped off as I have seen some buildings and the prices that go with them.
1 million Baht will just about get you a mansion depending on YOUR type of mansion.
We talk to my father inlaw on a regular basis. I would assist you if you like.

Hi Rahni,
My wife Natcha and I are looking to build a house in the near future on our land at Bang Chang near Udon.
I am an Aussie and Natcha's family come from this area so we would like to return to her village and build a nice home.
Really don't know where to start so would like to make contact with your father in law to see what is possible.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Purakan
Is your land and inlaws living in Ban Chang A.Thungfon ?
If so my Father inlaw and family are vertually next door in Ban Loawicha about three km towards Ban Dung. We/they frequently use the covenience store at Ban Chang and buy fish from a farm there.
When you are there you could easily visit my father inlaw 'Thongtawee Thammasong' by going to the first shop on the left as you get into Loawicha and ask directions which is very simple, as they live down the first left turn at the shops and down 3-4 houses on the right, the one with the rendered fence and sliding gate.
You could always explain that you have been talking to Shane, his daugthers husband and take it from there. As I said, we are regularly in touch via the phone.
I am sure that if you were to catch up with him he would phone us.
