Building in Pattaya

Building in Pattaya can be a relatively cheap and rewarding option. Many foreigners prefer to acquire land and build their own Pattaya house rather than live in an existing house that might not suit their preferences. But when building a house in Pattaya you will need a Thai spouse or legitimate company to own the land. With ample building supply stores that stock a large range of local and imported products and a ready supply of skilled labour, building in Pattaya can have its advantages.

Be aware, numerous builders have arrived in Pattaya over the years to take advantage of unsuspecting foreigners and your only recourse to the law is often frustratingly insufficient. Those who have a Thai spouse or friend to help with the instructions, bargaining and supervision, generally get the most satisfactory results. With inferior quality, delays, mistakes and sloppy workmanship, good communication is essential. As a result many trustworthy foreign managed firms have thrived here.
