Found this picture on the PC, where you can clearly see the poles on the boundary and the finished wall (which is located 50cm from the boundary)

Ps: It looks way better now ;)

Regardless of where land markers are currently placed doesn't guarantee their accuracy. If you see them actually placed by the Lands Department then you can count on their accurate placement.  If not, then getting the Lands Department to survey the boundary is the only way to insure sanity.  It can be a very costly remedy to pull down a wall or part off the house if the structure is not fully within your legal boundary.

That is the complete opposite of our experience. Chanote in hand with Village Headman and were told" let's find the markers. They are the be all and end all as they were place at the time of survey and issue of chanote". Land office not interested in the slightest once they knew the stones had been located. Just us, village head and the neighbours. All sorted in half an hour. Wall was built exactly on the line. Why would anyone give land away?

Looks like you have it sorted. Best of luck with the build. As the old saying goes, if you don?t use it, you will lose it.

Thx Phantom

But as this is TiT you are never sure, and the "old" property is just over 1 Rai (1600 Sqm) the "new" property is 3.5 Rai (5600 Sqm) so 50cm on the new property is still a lot of sqm.

Thx again for the advice, appreciated

Had my Wife's land in a Village near the Airport checked. When we first went to the Land Office in Satuek, we were told there was a long wait. My Wife was happy to wait and we headed out of the office. I suggested she go back and ask if there was a "fee" we could pay to have the survey done quicker. To cut a long story short, the same afternoon we had the boss and three others arrive, done the survey and provided docunentation, for a "fee" of 3,000 baht. This enabled us to start building the fence the next day, sand etc had already been delivered

May I ask how long ago was this?

Update:

First pile went in today, hope piling will be done in 2-3 days.

All columns (rebar steel) already have been pre-fabricated so when the piling is done team 2 starts to work on the house

Update:

Wow 2 days earlier then expected they are finished piling!!! YEAH!!!

According to the BIL they finished just now as it was a lot easier then expected.

No Pictures yet as we haven't been on site as we were getting deliveries for the new build in our "old" house

Picture I added shows 2" and 3/4" PVC pipes and Septic Tank and underground water tank and lots of tiles for the living / bath room that were delivered

Update:

We got the permit for building our House/wall/garage today from our Local Tessabaan

It only took

  • House Plan done by a Licensed Architect
  • House Plan checked over by a Structural Engineer
  • Signatures from all owners surrounding our property
  • Patience

Total costs for the permission (exclu the architect and engineers fee) 105 THB

I wrote "permit for building our House/wall/garage" because when you have the permit for the house they don't worry about any other structure on the property, but will still have an Architect design the garage just in case ;)

Just curious, why in ground water tank vs above ground? 

When we were building our apartments the builder put the septic tanks in ground on cement pad of course that night we got a big rain and the tanks floated out of the ground!  Just saying make sure your tanks are half full of water before you get rain!

Good question DD

The reason why, is that we are expediting our build (read wanna leave our current house ASAP) and thus the land fill hasn't properly settled yet. So that's why the piles and that's why the underground tanks (which will sit on the "old ground")

If we would wait for the land fill to settle we have to wait another year before we can move and that I won't do.

We will most certainly fill them when they are going in the ground (also will never leave them empty).

Thx for the tip

Good advice from DD Mike. I have seen these tanks pop up out out of the ground on many an occasion when instaled empty, and either ground water or rain will have them back on the surface in no time. We always put a concrete collar on the tank on installations in the UK

Just to let you guys know, the house is finished and we just very recently moved in.

New House book we have (Wifey has already moved from the old house to the new house) and also our permanent electric meter has been installed (before it was a temporary meter).

Last Thursday we did the TM30 at Immigration and in a couple of weeks will get a new yellow house book

First impressions is it is absolutely a LOT quieter here, but we (and everyone else) already noticed that during the build.

Hope the SFH stay far far away

Forgot to add, everything is oke except for Internet, have to wait another 30-45 days for Fiber Internet to arrive. Now doing everything via 4G (AIS Home Wifi) works oke with a max speed of 10Mb (but it?s UNLIMITED) which is not that fast when you are used to 100 Mb++++
