Two pieces of land in Surin at the end not for sale

Also, in Thailand, land is expensive depending on the area where you want to buy.

Good for us is we do not want to live in busy touristic areas and also do not prefer the seaside to live. Nice to go there sometimes but better to rent a hotel.

Once I rented a house with a swimming pool in Mae Rim (Chiang Mai province) and for me it wasn’t the best experience in my life. Never again so to say. Yes, we like nature, my girlfriend organic gardening and growing own vegetables and herbs. And yes, we like water in the garden. So, a nice pond if the time is there will be part of the project. Offering a nice habitat for some water animals and to store rain water during the rainy season to keep the land around the project a bit drier.

For a while we were interested in a part of land near a village lake in Surin. At the moment there are banana’s growing on that land. It is not too big and a pond is not needed because it is on the other side of the street so to say. Actually, we discovered the landlord cannot sell the land because the land-paper is at a bank. Something that happens a lot in Thailand to get a loan. So to say ‘normal’.

A friend of my girlfriend recommended us another piece of land. It is a nice spot next to a cycling road to a big reservoir and dam. Not too busy but enough ‘life’ around. Around one thousand square meters. And the price we liked. At the end of the day it worked out the family discussed and wanted to keep the land in the family. So… not for us.

All steps on the journey of discovery. No problem. The right place will unfold and we are not in a hurry.
