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.dozer (0 votes)

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)dozer (0 votes)

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)dozer (0 votes)

The plumber is here making a base for the shower enclosures. You can also buy a acrylic base but it isn't necessary. A cement tiled base like this works great. (19-Jun-04)dozer (0 votes)

Sink plumbing. This sink is fed by 1/2 inch hot and cold pipes coming in and there is a drainage exhaust going out. The pvc pipes will later be cemented into the wall. dozer (0 votes)

For hot water plumbing this is the recommended way of doing it: copper pipe shielded with PVC tubing. It isn't that easy to find copper pipe or copper workman here. (02-Jun-04)dozer (0 votes)

This 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.
