If you are considering building a house in thailand be prepared for some unexpected costs to pop up like these!
I am building a house in Korat in Thailand. Despite thinking about the actual house build I find myself now paying for landfill that I never anticipated. So far an 330k in and not evene the slightest hint of a house build as yet!
Have you built a house in Thailand, how was it for you? Did you manage to stay within budget or did the costs of your house build end up up way over budget?

@jeffbluejets2626 3 месяца назад

Sorry to have to tell you but building your own house will never be finished. There will always be something to do and the bigger the land/house, the more will pop up. From the way you are talking here in this video, I would be taking extreme care you do not start down a road with no end. Appears you have already made a few boo boo's and likely more to come. Don't mean to be nasty by any means but a couple of thoughts come to mind....bit off more than you can chew and.....more money than sense. Advice would be, flog it off while you can and recoup what you can and start again smaller, much smaller.

@Buzzinpattaya 3 месяца назад

Okay mate

@glenn9229 3 месяца назад

you asked the question.....so here's my 10p worth 1. Don't spend anymore til you have a proper plan 2. You need a hydrolysis report from a water engineer on the land to see where the water table is and how you can deal with it. The rice field you showed has freestanding water, which looks pretty close to the same height as soggy ground looking back towards the neighbours. If thats the water table level, then I'd be thinking about building your house on stilts, you may beed a few feet of clearance to stay dry. 3. If the water table is at that height, then that doesnt explain why the long skinny fishpond is low. It might be lined with plastic and back covered, it might have a clay bank, or it might be spring fed and after so little rain at a seasonal low level. When it rains proper, what level will it stop at? If its spring fed you cant just fill it in 4. Looking over the land it seems you have about 7 different levels. A survey to set some proper levels, and a bloke on a dozer to push stuff around to level it all off (and widen your entrance road while he's at it). 5. While I'm sure building requirements in up-country Korat are quite different to the UK or here in Aus, I'd be saving up for some decent concrete pylons to drop in for your foundations.....otherwise, there's a fair chance your nice new house will sag and crack like a saggy, cracky thing 6. Maintain a sense of humour - your in beautiful Thailand, not High St in Grimsby Good luck

Trev, you’re the kind of guy who can’t switch off, you’re always on the go and can’t sit still for long. You already have health issues as you’ve discussed, you hardly sleep and now you have the added stress of this house build. You’re your own worst enemy mate. You think you’re gonna sit and chill at your new home when it’s completed, but truth is you’ll be bored out of your mind after 5 mins out in the countryside. As you get older, you should be striving to make your life more peaceful and less stressful, but you seem to be going the opposite way my friend. Look after yourself mate 👍 Health is wealth.

@infamouscrook 3 месяца назад

For this amount of money, it should have been all concrete and rebar. Or you could have bought a machine and either hire a driver or do it yourself and end up owning a JCB. When you advise people about the pitfalls of Thailand, you obviously think it won't happen to you. A good way of knowing where you actually stand is to tell your wife that you're done with this money pit project and that you want to sell the land and buy a smaller, already built house. If she agrees, you're safe. If not, maybe you should start doing some thinking. Lastly, the worst of all is having others already living there, building their own dwelling, keeping animals, taking your coconuts and fish. Dude, they'll never leave. If i were you, I'd tell my wife to let them know they should vacate the property within a month, and that they should take all of their sht with them. If they get angry and start causing drama, don't even start building. Just sell it, or you'll end up like that guy without teeth, no money and no way to get out of there.

@phil7794 3 месяца назад

just a few thoughts and suggestions. Hire a bulldozer and level the land using the earth to fill in the pond, no truckloads of earth to be brought in, use the earth from skimming the surface. From what I can see you have different levels of land there and it needs levelling off anyway.. Your only expense would be the hire of the bulldozer and maybe you could even drive it yourself ! Second - Seems to me you have more land than you know what to do with. Basic boundary fence off surplus land and sell it off. Half an acre is more than enough for any size house you want to build. Use the cash to offset your losses. You are being overwhelmed by a far too big a project, resize it down, you just do not have the money to develop all of that land. How about the small rice field ? Lease it off to a local farmer on a 50/50 profit basis. Think smaller, the size of your land is overwhelming you. (re the pigs - they need out of the cage today, again hire a local for the day to erect a small fenced enclosure, small expense there)

Hi Trev, from your tone of voice, you really wanted that pond full of water. I had a similar problem with a semi dried-up large sized pond, with fish gasping for oxygen. In my case, there was a dis-used borehole about 500 hundred meters away from the pond, on an elevated slope. I laid irrigation pipes from borehole to pond and filled up the pond… it took almost 2 to 3 months to fill using a solar powered pump, and then the fish were all happy. In your case, maybe build a wall to dam up the water, and install a borehole (with solar powered pump) in the old rice paddy swamp. It will be cheaper than filling in with soil, you will get your pond, your fish, and the swamp may begin to dry up. To minimise water loss, use plastic liners at the bottom of pond. You can do the feasibility… Just an idea, good luck mate.

@shadowfilm7980 3 месяца назад

As a number of people are saying here, I think you need to first get a decent architect/planner to come out and look at the land with you. You tell him what’s in your mind. He will then tell you yes or no. You need someone with that expertise and experience to finally really tell you the pros and cons. Then you will have a better understanding of what to do. If you tell him you want a 2-3 bedroom home, one story or two story, then he can draw up some plans. Ideas. That’s what he does. His profession. After he shows you his drawings then you need to find out the cost factor. Of building it. On that land that you had prepared. Then you need to decide do I do this or maybe scale it back. In size. Because of how much you can afford. Your budget. It’s a step by step process. It’s a given when someone decides to build from scratch. It’s a lot of work. Time. But it’s your choice. Try not to spend so much money on filling up that so called lake. Your house is the most important. Not that lake. The lake comes later. You won’t live on the lake. You will live in your house! So that’s number one. The main priority.

What ever you do you need to keep that waterhole. We have a very similar set up to what you have just bought and exactly the same size of land. That waterhole is your water to water all all your fruit trees, plants, vegetables and what ever else. You'll be surprised how quickly it fills up when the big rains come. It's free water so use it!!! As for where to build the house. You'll need to look at what area is best for access in and out with a car, which way you want the house facing, are you going to be using solar panels in the future. With your extra land you'll want to plant more trees I would imagine. I look forward to following this and watching through the various stages of building. Good luck and I hope it's relatively stress free for you.

Have a good think first, get some ideas in, let them mull around and then start planning. As you say you don't know what to do, so that might be a start. That nice pond you filled in would be a great location for a carport/garage setup. It is at the end of the road/track so makes sense. Space for 3 cars, then a storage/workshop area which could be on the side of the sun, so the cars stay cool. Then knock that awful house down. Keep the outhouses for now but eventually get rid. Your garage area could have new toilets so workmen for the house can use those once you knockdown the old one. Plan for the future then regarding the house. You can plant trees in the right places for you, setup a relaxing garden area wherever you like, have patios, the house and your own space too. Think about it. Don't rush.

If you are getting scammed word is just going to get around behind you back that your an easy mark so its just going to get worse IMO.. Cutting your losses will be hard to do though ... So I would just focus on the house right now and thats it! Don't even think about the pond or anything else just get that house taken care of so you can sit in it and let your head stop spinning.

Hi Trevor further to my previous comment I forgot to mention that if you fill in or build up a natural flood plain the water still has to go somewhere and this could possibly create a new flood area that you did not want so please be cautious when you are filling in creeks etc. once again good luck with your project.

@PloyandJayinThailand 3 месяца назад

You have enough filled land to build a nice house. Just make sure you give enough time to settle down. Leave the ponds like that and grow some fish to eat. But first, you should sit down, relax, and think about what you want and what is your BUDGET. It’s impossible to stick to the budget when you build a house. Been there done that 😂you already have surprise costs, and there will be more. We built our house last year. We never thought that the water connection could cost 100.000 baht extra! So, what we did was we took the water connection ”Isan style” using my wife’s grandmother’s connection (the strategy many neighbors use here) 😂Good luck with your project 🙏Edit: one another surprise cost is the fence if you want to have it. We paid about 170.000 baht to fence our one ngan land (a neighbor had fenced already one side). The question is do you need it or not? In your case, it can be a HUGE extra cost (a couple hundred thousand baht is not enough)

With such a large area to build you might want to consider a caretaker for the property. Can live in the current house as part of their pay and you can put in a small orchard on top of where the small pond area.

You may want to put a wall around the land fill and let it settle. Once you put a house on the land it is going to settle over time and that could cause some damage to your house. Not being critical just a thought.

@tomato88ish 3 месяца назад

Who in the F is advising you Trev. It's pretty easy to estimate fill, getting it to the sight is another thing but, you can not be doing this on your own. As a builder Ive built many homes in Canada and it's become difficult enough here. I have not built in Thailand but can't imagine the obstacles there. Take a step back , you're only into it for 500K B or so I think??. Building is stressful , lots of my clients didn't make it through real well, and I know you don't really need that right now. You said on this video many things that made me think you are not really prepared. I used to get knots in my stomach every time the excavator took its first shovel as that's when you fully realize the train has left the station and there is no turning back , but you can still pause it as I can tell from the video this is not going to go as well as you want or planned. I don't want to shit on you , and I am truly sorry but that is a fact. That little front end loader running around filling up the pond or anything really is like using a teaspoon to build the Panama Canal.

Figure out exactly what you want and plan from there. I had a blank canvas at the 3 rai I bought in Hua Hin, I had a vision, almost straight away of how I wanted it and now I am putting that vision into reality. I say this because you asked for ideas, I think you know what you want to achieve and need to plan out the process in order. You run a bar mate, Kudos to you. I guess you knew what you wanted with your bar and you built it....Same, same. I'll keep an eye on your updates, interesting. Take care buddy

Trev keep the house, you know loads of family will be coming to stay over the years. Perfect guest house. We have a similar pond and a small palm oil farm we have and I put a clay liner in the pond and it now keeps water. We stocked it with fish and they eat all the mozzie larva. It will take a few months for the land to get waterlogged, your pond will hold water then👍🏻 Have a look at one of my vids about farming in Thailand to see our pond.

Why dont you use your following to your advantage, When people want ideas, business logos, images,copy etc done, they reach out to fivver or upwork to get a freelancer to create for them. But for a fee. Whereas you could put out a post to your following saying that you are struggling for ideas of what to do with your land. Provide a land plan of measurments and where the lake/pond is etc. post the plot measurements and say your giving 1 week for ideas on what you could do with the land. You have a large following now, and im sure there would be a least a few people that are familiar with building - construction - design - cad drawings etc etc, that would be more than happy to provide their thoughts on what you should do, and for free, Youve given your time and effort to the channel and everything else you do for a long time now that your followers would be more than happy to give back if it means it helps you out and gies you a better idea of how to move forward, as we all want to see you succeed with this. So theres my idea, i have no skills in building or design so unfortunelty i cant offer anything, so this is my offer in way of an idea that could spark some good results and give you ideas that you may not of ever had. hope this helps

@paulf897 3 месяца назад

Was the pond lined with a pond liner or clay? If the bloke took the fish, he might have punctured the liner or dug into the clay to drain the water out to make it easier to catch the fish. You would have to drain it out and check for damage and fix it up and then let it fill up again.

@Buzzinpattaya 3 месяца назад

No idea

@paulf897 3 месяца назад

@Buzzinpattaya only way to find out is to drain it down and check it over. If the water level has dropped after heavy rain, it sounds like there is some damage to the lining.

@davis.fourohfour 3 месяца назад

As I understand it, a pond like that has to have plants growing it in a certain way shade from trees in a certain way and actual aeration going on like a air pump or something similar like waterfalls or fountains for example. To really retain the water you're going to have to line that pond with pond liner (a plastic something like that). Water retention is essential if you need to have plants and such like otherwise the water will simply drain. There are plenty of RU-vid videos out there on this. I've a pond myself I will have to redo.

The water above you will flow down which means past where youve built. Which means undermining your slab. I would concentrate on going higher to reduse the possibilities and creating a causeway around it. The higher water will flow anyway so protect yourself. Blocking it will cause water under the slab. Let the water work for you rather than be a problem. I did exactly that and my footings are 3m deep original land. No movements and the water passeseither side without getting near to the house

I live up in Okinawa Japan and we built our own house here. I walked around the different areas looking at house ideas and in the end we built an upside down house so the bedrooms and utility room, car port and my workshop are all on the ground floor and the open plan kitchen and living room plus covered open area are on the 1st floor. I would say face your living room windows north and make the windows to the south and sides like long skinny pillar box windows so they don't let the heat in, and make your car port oversize so when you drive home in the rain you can get out under cover, We built it upside down as we got much nicer views from the first floor and lets face it you don't really look out of your bedroom windows apart from when you get up in the morning. But the good thing about Japan is the price the builder gives you is the price you pay, no jiggery pokery, good luck as i can imagine Thai builders must be hard to work with.
