A critical piece of hardware which should be installed under the bathtub. It prevents foul odors from entering through the drainpipe. A plumber may or may not suggest using one, therefore you might want to buy one and request that he install it. (24-Jun-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

A plumbed in shower enclosure. These are just starting to become popular. Acrylic ones can be purchased for around 8000 Baht, but one with safety glass will cost more than 10,000.dozerSep 28, 2011

Each bathroom will have a floor drain something like the one shown here. The plumber should slightly angle the floor so water runoff will flow to the drain.dozerSep 28, 2011

The lower part of this picture shows the free drainage hardware that came with the acrylic bathtub. The top is a heavy duty copper set with costs about 1500 Baht. Using the low quality free drain kit wouldn't be worth it since it is a lot of trouble to later fix a plumbed in bathtub.dozerSep 28, 2011

If you go with hot water throughout the cost of the faucets increases by about 3 fold. A faucet like this is around 2000 Baht. (23-Jun-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

This is an example of a 75 liter wall mount water heater. There are many different sizes and brands of central water heaters, one like this costs about 10,000 Baht. However these haven't really caught on yet (the normal type used is the individual shower water heater) so you will need to hunt to find someone to install it and do the hot water plumbing correctly. Also, using a central hot water heater like this raises costs more than you would think, from copper pipe to hot/cold faucets, the cost really isn't in the unit itself but all of the associated plumbing. This is a good decision to make before you start building the house, ie. central hot water or individual hot water heaters? (21-Jun-04)dozerSep 28, 2011
