If you would consider paying for the education St Josephs has a good reputation.

Thai version but there must be more information available.

Thank you, we live just behind St.Josephs, it looks an impressive school when looking in from the outside. This is one of my choices...

Have you considered Singapore?

If we were to have stayed in the UK our children would have attended a local state school in North Wales, for the moment we are considering a local state school in Nakhon Sawan.

Hello,

I have a competitive estimate from Siam Consulting , I have no prior experience to speak of with this company, a few googles seem to report they are a reasonable outfit?

Due to my wife and I living in the UK, and having a limited time to do the build as, we are replacing a house my wifes sister lives in, I think I have few choices available other than to go with a turn-key solution due to me and my wife living remote to the build locaiton.

For an all inclusive cost of between 10,000-12,000 baht per square meter you can have the whole house built with nothing to buy.
That would range from 900,000 to just over 1 million baht.
Dont know what the land reclamation is, please explain?
I wouldnt be guessing I would want it hammered out exactly what I am paying for.
Can only assume you are paying about 8,000 baht per square meter for outside terrace etc, way overpriced IMHO.
Get at least another 2 or 3 quotes.
Looks like you are paying 10,000 baht per meter x 130 square meters = 1.3 million.
Can be done cheaper, but you get what you pay for, I have seen house start falling apart after 5 years or less, the foundations/piles will be of prime importance.

I'm guessing the land reclamation is the raising of land by about .5 metre and laying over with concrete.
