Thiland is the most welcoming country I visited, people are so nice and warm and mean well. My favourite place is Phuket and Phi Phi beach, that’s where I spend my best vacation yet. There I met the girl from Mukhatan, her name is Chapaporn, she works in the hotel as a housekeeper. We still call each other all the time…

Hopefully she stays apart from her father because he causes nothing but heartache for her…even so me and the old man get along ok.

When I first heard of the house removal I just laughed at the images it stirred. It seems papa’s side of the family, that surround the house and make up the large part of the village, are a pain in the ass.

Hi Talen,
Like most things village style everything is so practical and there for a good reason and not for fashion. I bet there are 101 tips in and around the house that many people could learn from.
Take care

Memories once again. The house looks very similar especially inside to Wilai's mother's old house in the village. I remember how hot it got upstairs in the afternoon and how much cooler it was downstairs under the house. When it rained heavy at night the water would drip through a few holes in the tin roof and yes the floorboards always gave me the impression that I might go through them. The thing that really got me was the steps leading upstairs, easy to go up but due to the height between steps a real bugger to get down.

What a sad thing to happen to Pookies mother.

I like her idea of consolidating the houses on one lot, as being split between two homes is always difficult. You can never remember just what is where!

And since her family owns both, why not?

Hmmm… I guess all in all, it is a brilliant way of getting rid of an errant man… move the house out from over him
