Around the neighborhood...

I don't have a mooban.

Just my house on a main road.

I could take pictures of passing people at the gates, maybe prod a few of them with sticks to make them pull a funny face.

**hillbilly** · 16-01-2006, 08:17 PM

mrsquirrel, we all live in our own special 'mooban' so please let's have your pics!

**Goddess of Whatever** · 18-01-2006, 06:05 PM

Today I woke up early morning and walked to work because I wanted to take some pictures on the way to work for you guys.

Bye-bye my house, see you at the evening ja!

(That's Jeng, my housemate is closing the gate)

Just walk out my lil soi then you can see my fav hair dresser (which I don't visit there much)

Oh-oh.. this is my fav food shop! hmmmm yummy!

Yep! That's Jeng's car.

Look at my Soi from the main road. There's a new bank which just open for a month.

**hillbilly** · 18-01-2006, 06:10 PM

Thes are the best pics so far of a true BKK 'mooban'. More please!! How spicy is the somtam?

**Goddess of Whatever** · 18-01-2006, 06:15 PM

The post office which is opposite with the new bank.

I rent movies from here.

TSUTAYA!!

THis is my fav noodle! Just walk out the Soi. They sell at night only.

Walk up the north a bit, you can see the plaza of people here.

Also AIS!

It's still close because it's 7 ish when I walked by.

Let see how busy here is.

No matter how busy it is but Thai people always errr.. Tak Baht (I don't know what you say)

Gold is always with Thai people.. Look at that, there's 3 gold shops in a row!

**Goddess of Whatever** · 18-01-2006, 06:22 PM

When I am sick, here is my fav place to visit.

There's Family Mart, 7-11 and another 7-11 which are not far from each other.

**Goddess of Whatever** · 18-01-2006, 06:27 PM

Alright, let's walk into Industrial Estate but here they call "Industrial Park". Could anyone tell me what's different?

Damn, I was going to be late, let's take a motorbike!
I'm on a bike now.

THis is the park inside here (never walk around there yet)

Got work already!

Look, the car park is not enough for us.

What did this 'truck' cost you? BTW, your stuff is what I love to see...

**Goddess of Whatever** · 18-01-2006, 06:53 PM

7 Baht and 10 Baht after 7 pm.

**aging one** · 18-01-2006, 07:31 PM

That is a true taste of Thailand thanks so much to the both of you GOW and Hillbilly. Five stars from me mates!!

**Goddess of Whatever** · 18-01-2006, 08:01 PM

Love you, AO.

**aging one** · 18-01-2006, 08:05 PM

Pleasure indeed young lady and older Arkie!!

**hillbilly** · 29-01-2006, 03:31 PM

Luckily, this lady drives around the 'mooban' selling noodles for around B20. When you get done eating, just put the bowl and chopsticks on the side of the 'soi' and she will come back later to pick the dishes up.

This couple will make your old furniture look like new. They re-covered our sofa and chairs for B5,800.

**hillbilly** · 29-01-2006, 03:36 PM

Here is a popular spirit house.

Here is some land for sale by one of the lakes. The location is great and pretty quite. However, way to expensive for my taste. About B90,000 per sq wa which is about 4 sq meters. This person has about 110 sq wa for sale.

**hillbilly** · 29-01-2006, 05:15 PM

Here you can recieve a Thai massage.

**hillbilly** · 29-01-2006, 05:44 PM

This 'mooban' was originally set up to have the poor, middle-class and rich people all living together. The Thai's with money have taken over but a few homes with character remain!

**hillbilly** · 29-01-2006, 05:48 PM

The modern day vulture!

We have many recycle people that cruise the 'mooban' looking for certain items. Some will only pickup paper, while others look for metal, glass or bottles.

My experience has shown that no matter what I throw out to the curb, it will soon be picked up.

**hillbilly** · 29-01-2006, 05:49 PM

Our new mini-superstore has got many of the locals upset. Yet, some say 'mai ben lai'.

**hillbilly** · 29-01-2006, 05:51 PM

In the midst of it all, a Thai farmer at work. One can see the fancy homes in the background.

**hillbilly** · 29-01-2006, 05:55 PM

Typical soi dogs that live by me. Their owners brought them home, shut the gate and have done nothing for the dogs since then. We could have them picked up by the local officials but my wife does not want these 2 dogs to die.

Instead, let's allow these dawgs to have a slow but painful short life. TIT...

**Ken May** · 07-02-2006, 04:56 PM

Actually, those pix look a lot like my neighborhood, too.

**hillbilly** · 07-02-2006, 05:56 PM

Where is your 'mooban' at Ken May? Show us the pics...
