Absolute conjecture Thaifly. As if Dozer is going to make you ,Thaifly, the record red card holder, privy to the reasons for which he moderates this site.

It's interesting to note that where I once was the main target for snide remarks and attempted flame wars, now that because of that I have taken very much a back seat for many months, new targets appear to have been found, and I'm not the only member to have lost enthusiasm of late. There are places...

It works out at Baht 3,428 per m2, so 1.2 mil is about right, especially if he is including the cost of the formwork which could be anything between 50,000 and 70,000 for new wood.

Secondly, a contract is no guarantee of quality of...

I can only speak from experience from people I know locally, but banks will generally not accept foreign husband's /boyfriend's assets abroad, or money that a husband/boyfriend regulary gives his partner, as collateral. The Thai contender for the mortgage should hold financial assets and/or land/pro...

Do they have such things as "planning permission" in Thailand out of interest? For instance, if you wanted to build a modular style building, and add bits on - like a building a Balinese moonbase or something! Would that be a recipe for expense, paperwork, and complications? There are thr...

...if you want up to date prices ask a builder for ***** sakes Unfortunately, it might not be so easy to find a builder who can use a computer, let alone use the Internet.

Repeat:
Usufruct is valid for life.
