A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

[Froggy]

Just curious, roughly how much to build a house in LOS? Last time my boss said she spent half a million to add one more storey - look like attic to me - to her semi d in SG.

Your boss add one more storey in Singapore, first of all Singapore construction cost is expensive. Secondly adding one more floor means connecting to existing structures and have to strengthen them too so the cost can be very costly.

I cannot tell you how much to build a house in Thailand because very much depend on the quality and material one choose and also the size and design. It difficult to tell you really.

That was in mid 2000s, I think she can get another condo with the half million then..but now price increase should have covered her half million lah.

Was at BigC earlier and saw the Plu Ma (Flower Crab) quite fresh. Picked 2 and here it is, Steam Flower Crab. Special thanks to joetys for the Tok Kong Chilli Sauce to go with steam crab. A little hot now, waiting for it to cool. :p
