Well as the title suggests this actually means literally moving your house in Thailand, now we all seen them take apart those teak wood houses and rebuild them some where else, but this is a bit different.

This house is in Wat Nong Yai Temple in Naklua or Pattaya, not sure which area it comes under, and I assume the big boss Monk lives in it, as you can see it is a nice size house and aint too bad looking as Temple houses go.

Anyway I parked up and I am looking at it and it just didn't seem right, I could see that guys were working on it but I couldn't understand what they were doing, the old eyes aint as good as they used to be, so I went and had a closer look and had a chat with the workers, well it seems that they are going to move this concrete house to a new location about 20 meters away, there they have the holes dug out ready to place the old house in, now remember concrete don't bend or flex too well, it tends to crack, also how are they going to lower a whole house into holes?

I got to admit I really don't think this can be done without causing a great deal of major structural damage to the house, hopefully tomorrow they will be ready to start moving it and we shall see what happens.

Posts have been broken away from the footings and all chained and acroed up.



The underneath of the house, what a mess.



Some structural damage they reckon a quick rendering will sort out



Acros and chains all over the place.
