We Built a Carport in Thailand — Any Concerns? 🇹🇭

In this video, we take a close look at our carport in Thailand, now finally finished at our Thai house in the village. The Thai carport build is done, but was it a mistake? We added extra foam for heat protection, but people keep saying it will fall off. Is that true? Will this carport last in the Thai heat and weather? I walk you through the build, the materials, the design choices, and the real concerns we have now that it’s complete. No sales talk. Just what we see on the ground.

We also break down the carport costs in Thailand. What we paid. What extras we added. What might have been pointless. What upgrades or add-ons we’re considering next. Shade, heat, drainage, structure, long-term wear — it’s all covered. If you’re planning a house build in Thailand, especially a rural build, this stuff matters.

Living as an Aussie in Thailand is very different once you leave the cities. I’m an Australian living in rural Thailand, in Isan, building a long-term home in a Thai village. The heat, the builders, the advice, and the shortcuts are real. This video is for other Australians in Thailand, expats, or anyone thinking about moving to Isan, Thailand and building a simple, permanent home that actually works.
