In Topic: Price To Build Bungalow ?

2012-02-18 18:59:27

Make sure to get insulated blocks

I took my builder to court and got a lot of money back from him.

He could not believe that a foreigner took him to court.

He stopped making payments to me, and I took him back to court again and the judge gave me more money and I actually received it.

I suggest that you pay only little by little, and pay for only the materials which are about to be used, over the next week each week.

Accept no reasons for why lots of materials need to be built right away.  NONE!

1. Steel and cement and sand for the foundation.

2.

3.

4.  etc

  Pay for materials for only what you are about to have done.  If you can order the materials yourself, do so, and the builder can pick them up.  This way you will know that you are buying exactly what you want, and the best quality as well.

  Best of luck.    I built a house once.  It was one of the only things that ever aged me.   I will never do it again.  Fortunately, I made a very good profit from it.

I know nothing about this place, but.......

There is a very large building on Soi Wat Boon (sp?) in Jomtien.  It was in a terrible state for many years, and I believe I remember seeing it being renovated.

It is approx 900 meters  from the beach.  I do not know the room sizes, nor the prices, but they should be reasonable, a lot more reasonable than most everything else in the area.  You would not get top floor for that price, as top floor would be about 20+ floors high.

Angket Hip Residence

From the beach, travel over 2nd road, and another 360 meters (google earth) the road veers to the right a little.  The building is on the left side of the street.  It is the only really large building there.

best of luck to you.

  You can also try the auctions.

In Topic: Real Estate Agent Wants Cut On Rental Contract Renewal

Tell the agent to contact the owner.

The owner no longer has any agreement with the agent as he already has a tenant.

The agent should have thought to write a longer contract in the beginning and then been able to get a larger commission, but he didn't.

In Topic: How Do You Cope/Plan To Cope In Thailand When 70+

I have a couple of friends here in their eighties.

70's is just the beginning of fun.

Next, is the West a better place to figure this out, or not?

Thanks for the information

Hmmm, maybe find another place, as this is for my father, and he does not walk so well.

Penang or Singapore may be calling once again
