Your own is outstanding.

A real credit to you Neil, and Meechai.

Well done, the sharing is much appreciated.

Thanks Mathos for your comments ...

Certainly in the begining for us it was very important to have access to such amenities (Swimming Pool and Gym), but we were not "full time" permanent residents in the country.

Having a swimming pool is not just for Christmas as the famous saying goes! (about wanting a dog for Christmas).

We have seen some expats who "must have a pool" and end up forcing and squeezing one into what could have been a very nice garden.
They then try to force some kind of tropical greenery arround the squeezed in pool .... (we saw this by a friend of ours and really wanted to take some photo's but didn't get the chance!).

What happens next is that (at the time of squeezed planting!) it looks great, fantastic! .... untill it's time to shed the leaves, into the squeezed in pool of course!
