This website is a presentation with great advice and many pictures of the tasks required from acquiring land to building a house and to cultivating the land with various crops such as fruits, vegetables and flowers on the country side of Thailand. While we are building, someone asks: Should it be a temple? Because the project is something like „Building Off the Grid“ and differs from normal homes.
This spot is located in a rural environment with lots of farmland. Away from city noise, away from pollution and with a high grade of oxygen. Birds, lizards and frogs are the only source of noise. In short: Nature Sounds are all around. The sun rises early in the morning and daylight lasts between 13 and 11.5 hours all year round.
Always amazing to watch our small pool with fish and many happy lotus, even frogs, fresh water crabs and watersnakes (mud snakes) like the pool a lot.
The house-project in Thailand started in July 2021 by searching a suitable location for our small DIY project. We engaged an entrepreneur to make the construction drawings based on our design, to approve the construction drawings, to make the foundation, to do the concrete work, to build the outside walls and fitting the roof.
For all remaining work we contracted small local companies because travel and travel costs always turned out to be a large item in the quotes. The size of these companies ranged from 1 to 6 employees.
These small companies or one man businesses are easy to find by letting others know for which work we are looking for someone.
