Pre--House build, Buddhist ceremony, Hua Hin Thailand

A very traditional and important part of Buddhist culture is, blessing the first post of a house build. I have seen some blessings with 'no' monks and just the builder. We had 5 monks and the head monk, who is very revered and well known, we where very lucky.

Coming along nicely mate.
Cheers mate
Looking good so far Dave, will you have a guest room 😁
Cheers mate, No guest room as such, more a junk room.
Extra land to get eaten alive by mosquitoes closer to the mosquito farm.
Do you plan on putting fish in the pond, the pond looks good for fish or is it just for watering the plants.
It already has a lot fish from the previous owner. I have caught one or two, some are good eating, some are not!! Cheers Terry
Looks like we are doing the same work at the moment.
Touche, good luck
Just subbed you
Hey Dave and Fon, congratulations we would be happy when our building project would have achieved this level. I think the concrete slab and the tiny rebar is to weak. When the soil under the slab will sink, the concrete plate will hang free or not? What do you think?
It'll be Ok, I'm satisfied.
Attach the rotavator as rear weights. You could push more earth with less wheel spinning!
That would work, but the rotavator is fixed Japanese style and I have converted the rear linkage to Universal 3 point linkage
Hi there how much for concrete all done and wire mesh thanks regards vince
Nice, watch like a Hawk. Unless someone else is paying. Hahaha
Myself and the builders are very conscientious, regardless. It's called pride in your work.
Lovely to watch, I think we all have our favorite long straight edge 😊
Thanks mate, this is far removed from the over regulated, building in the UK, very refreshing. I like a nice curve.....😎
I think you are missing rear weight.
That would be handy, easy to make with concrete
Hi Dave. Look like the slab of base concrete too thin. you think so?
In the past I have laid acres of concrete. The slab layer does not need to be super thick, it is for foot traffic and not vehicles. I am not worried at all, 75-100mm is plenty. Cheers Andy
Looks good . Good plan
Thanks Lee
How come they didn't get cement burns on there feet, or did they 😮
Looks like the guard dog been promoted to inspector as well as guard dog .give that dog a raise 😂
Haha yes, he is an excellent guard dog. He barks and looks aggressive with strangers, but does not bite.
Beautiful ceremony. Best luck with your home build and your future in Thailand. Happy New Year. My thai wife and I will be building our dream home in Buriram in another 10 years or so.
Thank you very much for your kind words. Good luck to you both
Thank you for the information 👍 That’s a Great idea, I want to build something similar, as a base when I have a house built
Thanks for your comment. I have now built a toilet on the side. Can live in it, no problem. I use it for a man cave and storage, while the house is being built. Big change since this video.
@ Thank you Dave 👍 I have caught up and watched your most recent vlog of the concrete pour, great job your builders are doing, we have bought a piece of land Thap Dai, by the Immigration Centre outside of Hua Hin, so I am watching your build with Great Interest, Thank you Martin &Wi
@@MrMartgolf Cheers Martin and Wi, I can tell you, if you need a builder this guy is fantastic. I here so many horror stories of rubbish builders, I lucked out.
What size is your land and how many sq meters is your house going to be?
thanks for creating and sharing
Thanks for your kind comment
Looking great so far.. Well done.. 😊
Thanks Gordon, all still going well and at pace!!!
Hope you had a great New Year’s Eve ,,nothing wrong in blessing your home.
Thanks Keith, HNY to you
We wish you a good start in the new year. We will follow your building proceeding. Tom & N
Thank you Tom, HNY to you.
This is incredible. I discovered Thailand and the culture last January and have watched videos like this and know there is a much better life outside the USA. Great Video and you captured it very respectfully and with honor. A+ 😇
Thanks for your kind comment. HNY
I believe its important to do the traditional things when someone is in a different country. It shows respect.
Exactly, I was happy to do it and I feel blessed.
@@Dave-and-Fon I couldn't agree more. Thank you for your interesting videos.
@@HePeNaTip 🙏🙏
A personal house warming. How interesting. Should be a productive 2025. Cheers !!
It's a very traditional ceremony and very important for Thai's. I loved it, great experience and I feel blessed. Cheers Randy, all the best for 2025
I recently put in a concrete windowsill on a Victorian house with some matching corbels. I opted for using fibres in the concrete mix instead of rebar, I was chuffed how it turned out. Got asked by a couple of neighbours if I would work on their houses, poor things struggle in London to get any building work done.
I've used fibre cement before, it is good for certain applications. Certainly, wouldn't use fibre cement for a Lintel, but a sill perfect. Later in my build I'll get these guys to make concrete kitchen units, and worktop, popular here with tiles on the top. I'm surprised there are any builders left in London and travelling in is an expensive pain... Thanks for watching, mate and a HNY.
@@Dave-and-Fon Oh I weirdly enjoy watching this sort of thing. I once put tiled a kitchen worktop in a country place, had to use epoxy grout. It's not a surface I'd used because of the cleaning. Polished concrete work tops look nice though.
How much you paying the guard dog 🐕 😂
Haha.....He's a distant neighbours dog that was born under our Mango tree. It is his birth place and stopping ground. Great dog
thanks for creating and sharing looking for more vlogs of you
Thanks for you support and kind words
Hey Fon and Dave, the soil and filling looks similar to our land, in which area you are building. We started for planning a new villa in HinLekFai.
Hi, we are in the Wang Pong area
Which architect and builder you selected? Any idea to exchange contact data?
@@TomF-w1k I didn't use an architect and the builder is a family friend. I keep a close eye on everything and have a good relationship with all the guys on site. The builders contact details are on the back of his shirt.
Always nice to follow you videos. 👍 Thank you! 🙏 I am trying to learn things to building my house next year.
Well, thank you.
Wetter than an otters pocket
Standard here
@@Dave-and-Fon easier to work…but less strong…
@aladin6392 Indeed
You do make interesting videos of the rural life and everything in Thailand.👍 Keep it like this!
Thank you🙏🙏
Did you film this today?
I filmed it about 2 weeks ago.
Are you folks going to let the soil pad settle and self compact over one to two rainy seasons before building ? We did on our block after seeing a few disasters , major structural problems such as sinking and cracked walls mainly.
I'm digging deep, through the pad to solid ground
Really nice to follow your channel. Thank you🙏👍
Thank you, I hope you enjoy.
My wife wants to retire in Hua Hin in about 5-8 years. I'll have to visit the area.
@@jinsin5394 It's a great place for retirement
@@Dave-and-Fon nice! We're flying to Thailand today. My 1st time visiting 😁
@@jinsin5394 1st time, you will love it
Excited to see it get started.
Thank you. I will try and do regular build videos.
can you set up dealership of CT125 in the philippines? we really need that motorcycle who can run on floods, verstatile. there are dealer who sold this motorcyle but 3x the price
You can apply, with the right funds, to set up a dealership. It's all about the money
Nice one, save lot of energy or man power
I couldn't let a bargain pass me by, Cheers mate
Beautiful 😊👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
🙏🙏
Can you send to India?
อยากไปขี่ CT ด้วยมากครับ ถนนน่าขี่รถมาก
🙏🙏
Nice
🙏🙏
Is the pad just to have a level place for building? It doesn't look as if you are in a flood area.
You are correct. Cheers
That was cheap and they did a good job . Cheers
Yeah, very reasonable for this area of Thailand. Cheers
My wife and I did the Mae Hong Son Loop last year on CT125s. 1000km in 5 days with side trips.
We are planning the same in the future. Cheers
Cool road. Everything looks so lush after a long rain. Those CT's are amazing. Cheers !!
Cheers Randy, it's my favourite time of year here, but sadly, lasts about as long as your summer!!! The Ct's are gutless but a real fun machine, I love it.
"arse washer" very posh for sarf London🤭
😁😁😁
So nice..Thailand is a great place and I always believe they have a great knowledge when it comes to agriculture so having a farm in this Country is a good thing..Great! watching from Philippines
Thank you for your kind words. Thai people are indeed marvellous and ingenious. I was a dairy farmer before coming to Thailand and things here, in a tropical climate are very different. Thanks for watching.
I didn't understand until this video where you were, I thought you'd picked a plot of land in the middle of no where, now I see you've got a road coming. Bloody luxury 😂
When I bought the land it was cheap, as it was a farmers, dirt road. The deeds, for want of a better word, showed a 8m wide government road. Shortly after I bought, the road was put in. Just rocks at the moment but soon to be concrete....Obviously, the price of the surrounding land has since gone up, good for me. I've finished the brick s**t house now, tried and tested...💩 I may have time now to ride my bike!!!!!!! Thanks for watching mate.
@@Dave-and-Fon I like watching, it's very interesting. Sounds like you were in on the ground floor as 'they' say. I like that you got the man cave done first 😂
@@BeansOnToast_YT Haha yes, man cave needed....and a throne room!!!!
I have been there a number of times ... some great deals on some of the furniture there ....
