Color of a Hut

August 21, 2007 | 6 Comments

So we finally arrived at the village. And coming around the last bend I spotted the Hut. And the color was… light pink.
I was chuckling as I stopped the car. But I had to admit that it did not look too bad. And the tone is so light that it’s almost white.
As for the rest […]

So we entered Tesco Lotus in Korat. It’s our usual pitstop for some foodstuff and some pressents for the boys. But this time we where doing some big shopping for the hut.

An Honest Cop

I had a quite pleasant flight across the bay to Thailand this time, and everything was on schedule. Nan was waiting for me at the airport and finding the rental guy for the truck was easy.
Excellent service from Thairentacar. And I would recommend them for later. The only mishap from their side was giving us […]

And that was all the […]

The Kitchen

August 2, 2007 | 5 Comments

Nan had another good shower of rain last night. And she says the rice paddies now “have water little bit”. But she hopes it continues for a few days more.
We are discussing where to put the kitchen area for the hut. Nan does not want an indoor kitchen, as she does not want the smell […]

I love it

August 1, 2007 | 5 Comments

Those words are what best describes my continued fascination with Thailand. I wonder how much that will fade once I stay there for a long period.
Isaan is a friendly place to be. At least I have not encountered anything I will describe as a big problem. But then I have always had someone by […]
