My house spilleth over with bikes.. Parts.. Spares.. trailer.. And my brothers crud and clutter...

While non essential I wouldnt mind a combination lockup, workshop, and man cave..

It would want to be a lot larger than a single shophouse width, If I do it I would want a space I could do a project car in as well as stick bikes. In fact if there was more room I would be happy to share it with anyone who wanted a bike store, toolshed, etc.. People who leave bikes in Chiang Mai for months could store them there and it would solve a few needs. Phils place is also spilling over most times I am there with stored bikes.

I would want it on the south west side of the city.. Canal Rd, out as far as Hang Dong or over to Saraphi all work.. Even south San Kamphaeng tho prefer to be SW rather than S or SE.

It will have zero commercial activity so being near a main road or where people can access it isnt an advantage, cheaper is an advantage.

It should have water and electric (for a beer fridge).

It will need to lock down securely, it wont have mega value put there but I dont want to have my bikes and tools easy to rip off either. Being overlooked by dodgy cheap boarding rooms with itinerant workers is a big negative for this.

If anyone encounters anything, Mae Hia, Samoeng Junction, Nahm Prea.. For 1000's not 10s of 1000s per month.. I would love to know.
 
Why don't you buy an out-of-commission double length shipping container and put it on your (her?) new land?
 
I thought of that.. And it would solve the storage need, but it would make a piss poor workshop and man cave. There would be no power for a beer fridge or power tools, No space to work on a car well, it would be hot as hell in the warmer months. Etc Etc.

Yes thats a good way to lock up come bikes and free some room. But I wouldnt mind a space to do stuff also, tinker on bikes and potentially a car, etc etc.

Hang Dong storage offered me a deal on having a container, again it solves one part of it.. But if that was the only issue I could get another XL carport tent awning type thing and stick a lot of stuff in the corner of my garden. It only becomes worth doing if it ticks all the boxes.
