Video

I play a game where I take a drink every time you mention how many outlets there are in a house. I subscribed this morning and I am already shitfaced on the second video. After watching the rest of the video this house is pretty well thought out. I have lived in Thailand for a bit over two years and have looked at hundreds of Thai homes and the architecture leaves a lot to be desired and most homes leaves me shaking my head. As someone who has had many homes built in the USA I find details of Thai homes to be incredible poorly thought out. I don't mean to be rude it's just the truth. When I am talking about details I mean functional. Like exactly where the outlets are installed, or the drip line of the roof on this house being nice. How hard is it to know exactly where the bed and TV would be placed and put outlets exactly on either side, stuff like that. These small things make a huge difference. This house is very well done but the kitchen is poorly thought out. I have a spreadsheet of everything important to me when building a house and most of it requires hardly any addition costs just preplanning. I have several hundred items and I continue to add more because there is no perfect house but you can sure make a huge difference at very very little extra cost if you work at it and make improvements. Steps off soap box.

Fxck James the minit you went to the kitchen area the tile work with the missing beds on the tiles done my head in. Retired bricky.

I was thinking of building the same, so if someone said get off my land? I can take my house and go! 😂

Hey James, I think these tiny houses could also be used as a nucleus to a minimal living design i.e. Install one under a large covered area with outdoor kitchen and entertainment area etc. Also have a great trip back to the UK with Annie 🙂

Shout out to Uncle Craig!!

Very nice . Please can you share the website.

Nowhere to put clothes

These walls are thinner than mt hair

4 thousand quid is a nicely specced MacBook pro - absolute incredible they can do all that with Aircon included for that price.

Hi James, many thanks for this video, options for those needing a granny flat or those with land in a nice place they want to visit for a few days a year. Have a great and safe trip back to UK. Not sure if you will be there for the general election or not, but the politicians look in chaos (maybe not as bad as Thai politics).

thanks for sharing very interesting, would be great on our farm with septic tank and solar panels, thanks for the leaning wall of tak update but i miss bob the bush how is he 55 55

love the bum gun. already converted

Thanks for the vid, I am looking for one of these or a cargo container to create a home/office.

I'm not seeing any insulation materials either for the walls or ceiling, or did I miss some?

Great James even for a guest house near our own home for relatives coming to visit that’s for the blog James

Really nice and the workmanship is good

The Brits imported a bunch of Canadian-made wooden 'Prefab' houses just after WWII to combat the housing shortage after German bombing. I remember seeing some in East London during the 1960/70s. Probably all rotted now. The Thai insects will have yours for lunch if not properly treated.

This is the new style with the round window, they are called "Muji" I think

james is this termite proof?

Great video. Make sure you stay hydrated on your cycling holiday!

I am definitely with you on the ‘bum gun’ invention. When I returned to the UK it was like medieval Britain. Tried a newfangled Japanese loo and didn’t get on with it. Prefer to trust my own aim.

Very entertaining and informative as always James. Down on the islands they are selling these style houses as the Western speculators are going high density per rai they are also selling converted containers. To me they look like council projects we have back home and are ruining what was a tropical paradise. Safe journey you and Annie and the portable bum gun. Please say a big hi to your lovely mum and enjoy your time with her you lucky man.

If wood laminate floors , no thank you. Not very durable with all the moisture and rain in Thailand. Tile is best .

Link to where you bought the bum gun bottle? We were in the US the past two weeks, and I really missed the bum guns!

It would be useful if you have enough land and your current house doesn't have enough room for visiting family guests. But if you're building a new house on your land, you're better off just increasing the budget on the main house and building with more rooms.

They look good and as you point out have a few different purposes. I think they will sell well. Have a great time in Blighty !

James, we are doing a survey trip in North-west including Tak next week. Let me know if you want us to do a survey for you. Chris

Like the houses your right ideal as a guest house have a good and safe trip back to the UK currently back myself at this time

Looks sturdy. May need to look at this if we expand living space at the house near Phitsanulok.

Thanks James, nice video. You by chance have a link to the home builder? Apologies if I missed it.

Excellent for a small resort.

James I had a 43 sqm house 1 bed, 1 bath with kitchen including plumbing, electrical and septic tank, built near Phrom Phiriam for 500k baht...much like that 399k one... but i had columns sunk into the soil about 5 meters deep

Thanks for the interesting content Mr James! Tiny houses gained popularity here in USA more than a decade ago. The major expense lies in purchasing or leasing real estate for the placement of the tiny house, along with the provision of water, electric and sewer - a sewer system alone built to code could cost more than the tiny house. It's not uncommon to see rates of >500USD per month to park an RV in an a designated RV park. RVs here are larger than a tiny house and obviously mobile, but decent ones in only fair used condition can go for >30K USD. The 420,000 USD median home price (Q4 2023) in USA has driven up the cost of all housing alternatives - apartments, RVs, tiny homes, houseboats and associated costs. Greed thrives in the USA!

Looks aok for guests and people passing through .as you say the finish is spot on .

That is friggin brilliant..... You can prebuild a pool/water area and design all the walkways and etc. and when that is ready then you can plant 5 of those houses around and have a really special build at the fraction of the cost of building everything from the bottom up o.O

Nice

Leave the sex aid at home and just get a small bucket thingy and plastic mug at your mum's.................Removing bum guns is sacrilege and mum needs a serious talking too.!!!

Tidy little unit's James, could stick a few of them on our land in Cha Am & rent the bad boys out.....nice one.

Hello.. thanks for your efforts... I'd like to see the construction method and materials.. insulation etc.m

Ideal man cave. Cheers for sharing

Normal good video James , can’t see solar power man contacts

Safe travels. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and sincerely appreciate all that you do.

And have a safe trip…..!

Hey my brother….thanks for the shout out mate….you need to pop over for a cool one….those portables would be great for the mia noi’s….lol

Does WE Home have a website?

I am absolutely not interested in the UK but please do a few videos at least. I remember your mom as a very lovely lady. It would be nice to catch up. Greetings...🙋‍♂

Great little house to put in the garden, have a good trip home hope the weather is good for you.

Thanks James, they're probably the best little houses I've seen too
