In Thailand, local contractors or builders tend to engage their trade with traditional local knowledge and experiences. Some builders are very professional, while some practice their trade with on-the-job maneuvers. It is important to secure a seasoned builder and an engineering firm with open communication skills to do the work. From post and beam, roof and frame, water and sewer, light and switch, concrete floor, wall and fixture, provincial electrical authority, floor tiles, skirt edge baseboards, to landscape and operation. The entire project cost around 1,400,000 Thai Bahts. Although the house is 138 SM in size, it provides a roomy, countryside atmosphere while enjoying a farm-like environment. Let’s embrace the simplicity and warmth of the home stay experience and reflect on life’s moments amidst the comforting ambiance of the country living.
