What’s it cost us to develop our farm?
Life in Thailand after leaving the UK.
Join me on my Thailand adventure as I attempt to create a fruit farm on five acres of land, build a house, dig a well for my own water source and install solar panels to become completely off grid!
Watch me generally fumble my way through every process, trying to keep positive and upbeat throughout 🧘‍♂️

Your house and land are looking great, congratulations. We also had a big, big, pond....more like a lake actually, dug and used the dirt to raise about 4 rai of land. What I loved was that we could do it without council interferance, no fees paid to get permission, no restrictions from beauracrats. We did the deal on a handshake with the contractor and he moved in 3 x 20 ton diggers, 6 trucks and 2 tractors with blades the day after our handshake. Two weeks later the land had been transformed and we have a building site and beautiful views............TIT, This is Thailand.

Great content and beautiful house! Im Thai and was born and raised a bit in Esan (Northeastern part of Thailand) and moved to Bangkok with my family. Living in the city can be great at first since everything is pretty much available for you but the downside of it is the chaos and commotion from the city. I also miss when im able to look as far as i can and its still my family's property and the freedom you get from it. Now i graduated from college and one of the main things i currently want is to go back and farm on my property and keep improving it. Keep producing quality contents😁👍👍

Congrats with the move here Kris! I’m happy for you. I definitely think that the balance of the east in comparison to the west holds far greater appeal than it used to. For me the list of things that used to be great about living in the Uk has gotten smaller and smaller. The only good thing about the Uk now (in my opinion) is the ability to earn, and even that is now not so appealing because of the huge hike in the cost of living.

I paid 30,000 THB for a pond of 1 Rai size about 7m deep on my wife’s parents land. This has been a great investment better crops and their own fish pond. 30,000 baht 4 days and a big Macro. You’d pay that just for delivering the digger. Well done love the videos. If I were 20 years younger I’d do the same. Best wishes.

Thailand can be a beautiful place. Petty theft is rampant out here, even to other Thais. I recently sold most of my land(8 yrs holding)Fed up with constant theft. The fence may work for awhile. But, come dry season and you having all the ponds for irrigation. I can for see a section “falling over” or being cut. Some times a good yelling match helps. I personally keep large dogs, 40-60kg up. The locals are afraid of my dogs, which in return keeps them off my land by my house. Best of luck on your adventure.

Sorry I forgot to include the fence cost, too busy ranting about the cow farmer 😂. We paid 130 baht per concrete post and another 70 baht for installation/ barbed wire. It took 180 posts so it was quite a costly job TBH. 36,000 baht in total. We had some sections damaged last year with the flood, I’ll fix them myself this time, albeit not in the hot season lol. I’m patiently waiting for it to cool down so as I can get that job done. I should have done it as soon as it happened last October, but I kept putting it off until it was too hot to do anything except sip lemon tea in the shade. I’ll be more motivated when we’re living on site 👍👍

Nice house you have there . Smart to raise the house ( and get a big free pound with it ) because ''when it pores , IT PORES'' in thailand . 2 things thou , is the soil very well compacted and are you in any way or form making retaining walls around the house and drive way , because ''when it pores , IT PORES'' and erosion is soon to follow . It also saves alot of trouble , and you know trouble NEVER comes alone and its always in a time you dont want it and cant handle it . Retaining walls : L shaped stone and concrete with alot of rebar . Or long hardwood poles ( beter burn the outer layer to prevent rot in the wet soil ) with thick wooden planks .

Nice development. Looks fantastic. Our air quality was crap for 2 months in Pattaya this year. How's it been up where you are ?

Same here. Pretty awful, although I don’t think half as bad as further north around Chiang Mai etc. I think I’ll buy an air purifier next year 😅

Great idea to do agriculture. I think, it's really a good way to support yourself, not only in Thailand but many countries, as long as you get the land at a good price. I guess it's land of your wife's family. What comes to my mind, because of the heat: Traditionally, the Thais build airy wooden houses, shaded by trees? Have you considered that?

Yes we will plant trees all around the outside of the wall, once the house build is finished 👍👍👍

Just discovered your channel and I'm very impressed. I'll be subscribing to follow your journey. Me and my wife are considering doing this exact same thing, moving from the UK. So many things to think and consider, or do you just dive in ?

Yeah lots to consider, but we dived straight in when covid hit. The realisation that we could be so incredibly controlled by the government made us think “fuck it, let’s do it now” 😅
