The 400k House is still being rendered so not a lot has happened since the last report but the roof and soffet's  are now finished and some more photos will follow shortly  :biggrin:
I've been fishing today at my friend Tommy's place,I helped him a little with some advice and he has ended up with a nice little house and fishing pond for well under 1 million Baht ( land is his girlfriends ).The pond( about 1 Ria ) cost 40k to dig out about 6 years ago and the soil was used the raise the rest of the 2+ Ria plot. He then built a small outside Kitchen and toilet and a small out building for tools and then rented a small  house locally and spent about 3-4 years saving up from his pension ( money that would have been spent just to live in the UK)to build the house.He stocked the pond with fish and then started the garden but leaving the area the house was going to be built on ,when he had saved up enough money for the house he found a builder to build on a price and he bought all the materials.Final cost of the 100 Squ/m house was 680,000 Baht.Two bedrooms ,one with an on-suite bathroom and one with a on-suite but shared with the house guest's through a second door.A small European style kitchen,washing room with sink,a lounge and to small veranda's front and side. Poured columns ,small red bricks,steel roof with the big Chang roof tiles. With the furniture ,2 air-con units and electrical goods Tommy tell me he hasn't spent over 1 Million. bravo1

how much it would cost to build sauna in Thailand? Big logs not some thin wood boards.

This is such an awesome example of what can be done here in Buriram with little money...

Does anyone else have experience with this?

I'm very interested considering one..

Is this the kind of timber house you are thinking about? Tey pasting this link into your address bar, we have been building this house on a very small budget over the last four years.
