    I doubt that there are many English gentleman here in Thailand. A lot of riff-raff though.

    Ma and Pa's place in North East of England.

    I used a small proggy called shrink pic which catches images that you are going to upload and compresses them in the appropriate manner.

    Very handy

    It may look impressive.

    Sadly we only own a section of it. (nowt like pretending though) My address is at xxxx Manor though.

    It was bought out by some home developer and they made it into apartments.

    Looks well posh though, is well posh as well.

    If I return to the UK for any length of time that is where I get to stay. It's got a private access to the local railway station.

    THe other house is in the middle of nowhere in the borders of Scotland. I couldn't live there. It's a bit remote. When we were back there in October i forgot what silence sounds like.

    Are now that is nice.
    Look at those mullioned windows.

    OK not easy to build that in LOS but a half timbered Elizibethan cottage should be easy

    They are nice, but, better suited for cold weather I suppose.

    Insulation works both ways.

    It keeps the heat in or it keeps the heat out

    It would be expensive to get a house like that built in Thailand, and although beautiful it would look slightly out of place in the Thai countryside.

    I think the hardest part would be the lack of experience Thai workers would have building a house like that. Expensive? Yeah, the stone would be expensive.

    ^ Yes. They have a few places dotted around Bangkok. I can see the one they're building on Suk Soi 31 from my window.

    I am thinking of getting a condo from them maybe next year. They said theres no rush as they have alot of developments for next year. I wanted a permanent place in BKK so my missus can go and see her family when ever she wants and we always have a place to stay. I could rent it out but maybe that will mess mt schedule when i come over if i have tenants.
