23 viewsWith all of the work installing and plumbing in a bathtub, it would be a shame to start with a low quality plastic tub. A good bathtub can be had for about 7000 Baht, where a plastic one costs just over 2000 Baht. (06-Jul-04)dozer

19 viewsThe problem with doing septics this way is that the materials will cross flow between septics. Also the dirt pack will be tighter if each hole is dug individually.dozer

18 viewsA 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)dozer

17 viewsThis shows the simplicity of the plumbing. Each bathroom is serviced by two septics, one for solid waste and one for water runoff. Normally there will be three runoff pipe per bathroom as follows; shower, sink and a runoff for the floor drain. The pipes are run into the septic and then cemented in place. (01-Jun-04)dozer

15 viewsA septic here is nothing but a hole in the ground with some cement rings inserted. The normal number of rings is 4, I would recommend using at least 5. The cement rings come in 1, 1.2 and 1.5 meter diameters, the one show here are the 1.2 meter size. (08-Apr-04)dozer

15 viewsEach 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.dozer
