This house is down the road from me and I thought it was perfect for the thought that goes into the planning and building of a house in Thailand.

I don't see anything wrong with that house :D
This image is clearly photoshopped as nobody in Thailand would be that stupid:rolleyes:
It's a slider, you can see the little wheels underneathQuote:

I'm sure the tree is on a hinge.Just like either Batman or Thunderbirds.
Smart Thais after all.......
Maybe they thought they could cut down the tree and then got no permission? Or they really were stupid.
I think you might find it has been left there for luck or was planted by a monk or some crap like that. I have two at home like that well not in my drive way but ones that I am not alllowed to move or kill.
Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. We're about to move office and the building right next to our new one has a tree bang in the middle of it - I kid you not, they've built the office around the tree.Quote:

I should've grabbed some when we were first there, it looks as bizzare as it sounds :)Quote:

My guess would be that the tree is not on their land.
Maybe they got the land cheap because of the tree.
Maybe they plan to poison it after waiting a year.
There could be many explainations
Ahh no, before a thai builds his house he gets some holy man in to say where the gate must go. He must follow the holy man's advise or suffer eternal bad luckQuote:

I should add that this is on a housing estate, they cleared the land and filled it, made the roads then planted trees in the communal areas, then built the houses :(
I thought it is that latest in security against car theft.
Nice day for a drive on one of Phuket's major roads:

Long, sweeping left-hand bend coming up:

WTF???

Looks like the same corner that a house used to take up about 6 inches of the left travel lane on a two lane road. From airport to Phuket town.
That was 'fixed' several years after the road was finished. lol
E. G.
I believe that is called a culling post :) must be good fun driving there at night :)
