Building a House in Thailand on farm land – What you need to do?

When building a house on farm land in Thailand, you are always advised to build higher than the road level at your home.

So we decided to build the new house 1 meter above our ground level. The first step is to build a retaining wall to hold the Infill in place. We use double concrete blocks infilled with concrete and steel ever level to support each level we build.

We are going up 1 meter so we need to add more blocks.

We completed the blocks now we are adding a stair case in 2 sides.

Now we build a road into the plot and add the infill.

The last job now is to infill the plot and make it ready later to build on it will take a while to settle the dirt.

Three hours later we are almost done – 35 tipper loads to infill the road and house plot.

To complete the plot we have 2 options – add water to compress the dirt or wait on heavy rain. When we will start the build we will show you photos and info how its done.

Thanks for looking at my posts.
