Hey James, I think these tiny houses could also be used as a nucleus to a minimal living design i.e. Install one under a large covered area with outdoor kitchen and entertainment area etc. Also have a great trip back to the UK with Annie 🙂

Hi James, many thanks for this video, options for those needing a granny flat or those with land in a nice place they want to visit for a few days a year. Have a great and safe trip back to UK. Not sure if you will be there for the general election or not, but the politicians look in chaos (maybe not as bad as Thai politics).

The Brits imported a bunch of Canadian-made wooden 'Prefab' houses just after WWII to combat the housing shortage after German bombing. I remember seeing some in East London during the 1960/70s. Probably all rotted now. The Thai insects will have yours for lunch if not properly treated.

In the UK, I have a wet, Asian-style bathroom with a very-long shower hose attached by a Jubilee clip onto the hot, washbasin tap. Use it to clean the toilet bowl and myself (squatting) ... no bum-gun required. Bum-gun pressures are always set too high anyway ... probably gave mum too much of a thrill to bear.

Very entertaining and informative as always James. Down on the islands they are selling these style houses as the Western speculators are going high density per rai they are also selling converted containers. To me they look like council projects we have back home and are ruining what was a tropical paradise. Safe journey you and Annie and the portable bum gun. Please say a big hi to your lovely mum and enjoy your time with her you lucky man.

It would be useful if you have enough land and your current house doesn't have enough room for visiting family guests. But if you're building a new house on your land, you're better off just increasing the budget on the main house and building with more rooms.

Thanks for the interesting content Mr James! Tiny houses gained popularity here in USA more than a decade ago. The major expense lies in purchasing or leasing real estate for the placement of the tiny house, along with the provision of water, electric and sewer - a sewer system alone built to code could cost more than the tiny house. It's not uncommon to see rates of >500USD per month to park an RV in an a designated RV park. RVs here are larger than a tiny house and obviously mobile, but decent ones in only fair used condition can go for >30K USD. The 420,000 USD median home price (Q4 2023) in USA has driven up the cost of all housing alternatives - apartments, RVs, tiny homes, houseboats and associated costs. Greed thrives in the USA!

That is friggin brilliant..... You can prebuild a pool/water area and design all the walkways and etc. and when that is ready then you can plant 5 of those houses around and have a really special build at the fraction of the cost of building everything from the bottom up o.O
