New House Build

[Smithy]

How about some nice photo's of the finished House 

[iammike]

Will post some when I am behind a pc (that can take a while as the pc is still in the old house)

But it?s a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom (but already planned for more but this will be done next year) kitchen, living room (total sqm 160m which includes the outside terrace).

Outside extension will also be done next year but the piles are already in place.

We wanted the house to be finished quickly so that?s why the 1 bed/bath.

Thx Freddy, appreciated

How is your new house?

[Freddy]

Mike. I?m pretty much settled. It?s different of course and I miss the pool. All good though.

I think we are haunted regarding houses. This time it?s not noise but the unavailability of getting decent internet. It appears that everything (from 3BB which is the only option) is full and there are NO plans to expand. We already tried to pay extra (a lot) to convince them otherwise but this seems to be a dead end as it?s now almost 2,5 months.

So we are stuck using a slow 4G Subscription.

You may ask, did you not check this before you moved in?
Yes we did Several times but as we didn?t have a housebook for this house yet and they wanted that before committing .

Update:

We finally have decent internet after a very frustrating long wait, 3BB just installed our Fiber Internet, so I can get rid of that AIS 4G router (which was very slow).

Will get my PC from the old house in the coming days and will then (finally) upload some pictures of the new house.

There are always a few hurdles to overcome when building a new house. Keep up the good attitude and I hope you enjoy your new build.

Thx Tassie, appreciated.

There were 3 main hurdles, 2 off them were in hindsight minor and 1 was major.

Minor were dealing with the Land office and the Tessabaan but after we got the signatures and the building plan it was dealt with efficiently and also quiet quick.

Major was this issue with 3BB we spend many phone calls and also quiet a lot money to get it in the end, but we are now the proud owner of 1,8km of Fiber Cable and have Internet. But in the end we have it, but not the speed we are paying for but we got it and that is what matters for me in the end.

The AIS Home Wifi (4G) works but it's during the evenings and weekends too slow to do anything decent on the internet (it works  but you need to be very patient )

In any case if someone is interested we got the AIS Home Wifi Device which costs 2400+ THB and we got a 10Mb (unlimited usage) 3 Month (which runs out on the 26th of this month ) for an additonal 1940 THB
