The plan

Before we could build a house we needed a plan.
In Thailand there are a bunch of pre-approved house plans you can fetch from the local municipality (Thesaban in thai). After looking at these without finding any plan we really liked we started to google around on the internet for others. The house should be placed in Thailand and therefor it was important to find a house plan suited for the thai climate. 
We found a very interesting site — it’s a company drawing complete plans with all documentation and blueprints, they then sell these for 5000 bath each. They do not do any changes or special solutions, just these plans. You will find a link below.
We bought the plan for the house BP27, but was not completely happy with it, so we started to do some modifications and ended up with an own version.
When we were done we let a thai engineer make the official blueprints and calculations on the changed plan so it could be approved by the thesaban office and be used by the builder.

Blueprint

The first version of the blueprint. About half of the house is one floor, the bedrooms are raised as a second floor with mostly open areas below (laundry and outdoor relax area). I guess there will be some small changes here and there during the building process, but in general this is the house. Even if it looks like that, we will not have any cars under the bedroom.

Community water

Perfect timing. The community have started to dig and mount water pipes right outside my fence, so I will get water from both the well and the community = no future water problems!
