This is a blog about building a house in eastern Thailand from beginning to end. The house will be used by me and my future wife Ang when I quit my work and retire. You can read more about us in another part of this blog.
The small place Kram is located about 200 km from Bangkok, 3 km to Gulf of Thailand and a long sandy beach.
