The best episode I learned about buying a home in Thailand is that it precisely pays big time to think through exactly what you're doing before you go do it. This may sound base sense, but believe me, it's easy to get big headed about spending a lot of money in Thailand - especially when you have a great earnings from a western country!
It's easy to get ambitious when your dollar is worth many times the Thai baht! Overnight you're a millionaire (in Thailand at least), and you can build a huge home with no expenses spared, using all the best materials money can buy. But wait a second - before you go do it, here's a few things to keep in mind...
Go To Thailand
The first thing is that you should be careful about over-spending, and keep to some sort of budget. Sometimes materials and prices of things (builders, carpenters, wall tiles, cement and furnishings for example) can fluctuate wildly. One day you're paying 0 for those beautiful doors, and tomorrow you're charged 0 for the same thing. Ouch. You ordered, they delivered.
The other thing that can catch you out is falling into the trap of impressing everybody colse to you with your wealth, and beautiful new home. Sometimes it's good to stick to the budget, and just build your home to lockup stage - and do the interior essentials (like painting and furniture buying, and that vital hot tub) down the track a little, or at a later date.
Go To Thailand
Ultimately it's good to get the home completed (albeit in a uncomplicated style), so at least you can move in and start living the great Thai life, rather than stressing out over construction and material costs because you blew out your budget. The point is to crunch your numbers carefully. Don't be tempted by the emotional 'got to have the best home in the street' side of things and you'll do well with your new Thai home!
