Ning invited Rud and Nok over to join the conversation with Pan. He was taking us to Lao this time. He went there at this particular place, Wang Wiang, several times, making friends with the locals so he could actually tell what happened to those places over the years.
This is the second episode on the Thai vernacular architecture series. so far, we have recorded 4 episodes, there could potentially lots more to come. On this episode, Pan showed us, as well as to Ood and Ning, photos of two villages that he visited in the central of Thailand.
The previous episode was almost a year ago. At the fourth year anniversary of Changkhui, the podcasters met and decided to continue the program. Pan, a guest from a few episodes ago, shared his experience in visiting and recording the Thai vernacular architecture at the north of Thailand. He showed a few photos and described how the locals applied local materials to fit into their living. This was just part 1.
A term a week, so far so good. This time Chai and ning talked about different types of stones being used in construction work; decoration stones, landscape stones, etc.
The chosen term this week is Cement. There are many different terms of cement for the real estate and the construction use in Thailand. Some of these terms are not even familiar to Ning, though, she is a project manager. Surachai, from the construction side, chimes in what he knows and share some funny stories along the way.
if the IT industry have bits, terabytes, v.35, FE, the construction industry also have their own jargons, especially in Thai. Ning and Chai started with a simple word, queue, which was pronounced in thai, but, in facts, was derived from the english word "cubic". This measurement was widely used to measure concrete, woods, sand, water and soil, and they all have different meanings. This was especially useful if you ever listened to people in the industry discussed. They also talked about the land and space measurement, such as Rai, Wa and square meters. So many terms that they need to expand into 2 episodes and this was the second part.

The first episode of Rueng Bann Bann in 2009. Ning and Chai managed to turn a not-quite-related topic into an episode. They took top 40 richest persons in Thailand by Forbes magazine in 2008 and discussed who were from the real estate and property sector.
Actually, the content was not as frightening as the title implied. Ning and Chai discussed about what natural speed bumps one could expect when building a house. On the second part, both touched on earthquake, flood and hails.

We had a visitor on this episode. Pok lived in the USA and came back to visit his parents and seek other opportunities. He dropped by for a visit as a fan of our site, so we invited him to stay on this episode. On this episode, Chai proposed the topic as he really wished he could see such owner in the future.
Obviously, we confused everyone with this program's episode numbering. It was the overall 21st episode, though, only the 7th episode under the new name Rueng Bann Bann. Our host, Ning, came up with questions that would always come up on every webboard and home-building conversation.
It had been almost a year since the previous episode, so during a dinner we managed to squeeze an episode out of the meeting. Ning and Chai shared some funny expereince about some stealing events that had them wondering about the thieves did that.
Ning managed to finish the topic on this episode. Again, the same crowd as the previous two episodes joined the conversation, with Chai as the main engineer and Pan as the architect. The people in the photo, from left, were Surachai, Pattanapong, Kanjana, Wikanda, Chanlermporn and Pakabutr.
A pretty crowded episode. A team of six talked about what to consider when building a home, they came up with a list of 13 points to ponder. Pakabutr was a professional architect, while Surachai and Chalermporn were civil engineers, the rest of the crowds were just friends who would like to know.
Get ready for the rainy season. This year, it rained early. This episode provided some pro-active solutions and recommendations to get your home ready for the season. Our host, Ning, managed to get Chai to co-host the program and share his experience.
Welcome to the new release of the program. For the first episode of RBB, Ning and Nok (a guest appearance at Study Abroad) provided some criteria in selecting a house or a condominium. They also talked about the importance of having a common legal entity to handle houses and condominiums common issues such as roads, swimming pools, etc.
Continuation on home expansion. This time, Chai and Tak finished the foundation topic and Tak finished the architecture and the function aspects. Chai also pointed out the do and don't of home expansion, he mainly stressed on planning. He also mentioned a case when an owner felt really sorry for making his home expansion.
Chai and Tak provided a framework for the discussion. There were four aspects of the topic that two would cover; legal, foundation, achitecture and function. On this podcast, we managed to cover the first two.
This time, we talked about the sink, counter, lighting, ventilation and some issues that should be pointed out in toilets construction. And a comment on jacuzzi.
Chai and Ning were missing in action this time. So there were only Tak and Passakorn. They discussed about how to go about selecting sanitaryware. What to look for and how to select toilets, showers, etc. We could not finish it in 30min, so we needed to extend it to another week.
Chai and Tak continued the discussion by having Ning talking about her experience. Then Chai categorized the inspection tests, according to his experience. And at the end, Chai did get into discussing about our other program host, Yut, from Khui Kui Tao.
Chai provided a guideline for home and condo inspection, this was something you should be aware of when you bought a real estate and was about to make the final payment, after this inspection. He also gave us an example of what he had experienced with his customers, and, also, we had an example from khun Ning (Changkhui Episode 13). Well, you did not usually get to see people use ping pong balls to perform house inspection, or, use a hose to spray a house for the inspection, did you?
Finally, Aey had trigger, or Tricked?, his mother to help financing the restoration. Chai explained step-by-step how to go about restoring a house. Indies' Girl was, once again, our moderator.
They both met professionally when Passakorn decided to build a room-for-rent in Phuket, Tai-Tan Court. This discussion would be a look back to what mistakes had been made and should be a lesson.
