TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat who recently married a Thai woman and bought land in Thailand is considering whether to start building a house before moving to Thailand or wait until relocation. Many comments advise waiting until he is in Thailand to supervise the construction. Key recommendations include finding a reputable builder, having a clear contract with staged payments, and ensuring he is present on-site to oversee the work. Additionally, obtaining a proper lease for the land from his wife is important for legal protection.
