House for rent wanted (preferable Krasang Area)

Thanks Freddy.

We are more then happy to stay 1-2 months or even longer in one of the apartments (thanks to MahDam and Starman for the pointers) when our "house" is being build. So that time scale is most certainly doable.

We only can start building the "main" house around Dec of 2015 (land fill) so instead of staying in an apartment or going back and forth to Pattaya (NOT) we will most certainly investigate this possibility and this option (seems) to be the best, because when I need to apply for a new extension of stay at KCI (instead of Pattaya) we will have our own place with a new Tabien Baan for the Missus.

Another question (a bit related) do you know how long the approval will take (Tessaban) before you can start building ?

Thanks again.

Not a clue mate, sorry. The bungalow is replacing a shack ( previously mums house) and we are just extending our main house. Therefore, no changes to any documents or new ones required.

That is exactly what my TW & I did in 2007 on property next to inlaws.  We wanted a vacation type small bungalow to be used for our 1-4 month visits (and future guest house); 1 bdrm, smallish living room, small western bathroom.  It also has a small inside kitchen.  Used Super block; 1 AC.  Cost 325,000 baht.
The following years, we added a large covered Sala (patio) w/concrete floor; walled the perimeter, with double entry gates; added sun blocking 'live' trellis on E, S, & W sides with live flowering vines, property landscaping; rain water storage units and worked on plans for our future 'big house'.  We are currently finalizing the "big house" plans and should launch the construction in about one more year. 
It took the builder about 4-6 weeks for construction; bungalow was a Thai government furnished plan; so there was no wait time for plan approval.

Mike.........we recently built a house a bit bigger than what you are talking about for just under 500k. You are welcome to come and look. You can see directions on the "burirampieman shop and cafe" thread, or you can PM me for details.

Just an update,

We looked at rooms already today, the Krasang Hotel we looked at, the first room is very close to a road and a bit noisy with dogs barking and the other room we looked at was something where we can't stay in very long, especially as we will be renting for at least 2-3 months.

The apartments from Zabsa unfortunately don't have car parking, so that's (again) unfortunately out of the question, for the time being we will stay in the BIL house.

Also we went to both (yes there are 2 in Krasang) Tessabaans, they both said no problem, you can immediately start building, however you need to bring in (at one point) drawings of an architect, and you will get an approval. So we definitely need architect plans, but those will be finished (hopefully) in about 1-1.5 weeks.
