How not to build.

Remember this photo. A 2 story structor a short ways from CRU that was flattened just a short time back by a serious cell that went over.

The owners cleaned up the site the weekend. There were 3 rows of with 4 each of these 1.5 meter concrete post. These were the base support for the risers. The first row was set directly on top of the ground as you can see. The other two rows were buried enough that their necks were snapped off. All support martial for this two story structure was 2nd grade lumber. You can see the wood stacked in a pile and the roofing material being the inexpensive sheet metal is also in a pile.

This looks better! Visiting friends in their new build near Buriram. Land already so 600k for the build. Seems very good value to my amateur eyes

Maybe they'd be interested in Wombat's blue automobile.

Looks like the paint was a job lot

Looks a bargain for 600K, though I think I would have spent an extra 100K for a wider lounge.

It is wide, that’s the hall down to the bedrooms and kitchen area at the bottom

The OP only had about 30k invested.

Apparently 800k now. Still cheap I think for the quality. Quite close to Cambodia

Looks like back home in Oz with all those gum trees, only thing missing is a Koala or two.

Couldn't any closer than I was today. Out in jungle about 500m from the boarder. As for the house yes it does look good as I have seen a few of these locally going up. Personally from what I have seen I would have no problem.

Other than the odd landmine scattered around.
