I think you posted this pic a while back with a comment that it was overly expensive. Did you change your mind and buy it? It is such a distinctive piece.

It's a German coffee table. You stick one leg on its leg and one on its ass and squat.

Every morning I get out for a brisk walk. I say brisk, that is a relative term. I took some pictures that could have gone into the 'taken myself' thread or Cyrille's 'where you are posting from' thread or I could have created a new thread in the Isan forum. Anyway, I decided on putting them here, for no special reason at all. Certainly they are not up to the standard of the 'Amazing' thread.

There are four routes I walk and these pics are from just one of the loops. The area is old farming land, mostly owned by the villagers who live about 3km away, and the pics show some of the structures that have been put up over the years. The first few are the most basic, the 'thieng na' that were put up as shelters for use when working in the fields. Before the motorcycles arrived the workers would not walk home for meals and at busy times would sleep overnight in the theing na.

#1 The basic thieng na.



#2 A larger example.



#3



#4 More upmarket, with a toilet.



#5



#6 This one has electricity.



#7

I can't make out a bird in #6

^ It's another Greenish warbler!

Nice pics Shutree!

I thought it was a common pipistrelle

Are they Malmo Mike's secret holiday pics?

That would need to be in the 'Bat' thread.

Daughter got given 20bht for CNY so went to the local shop for these. You chuck em on the ground and they "bang".

She got 4 packs

This is the next chapter in my story of the local real estate scene. Since the village population keeps growing and the village land is expensive some people have moved to their fields out here, sometimes using or modifying their existing 'thieng na'.

#1 is built with cinder blocks so it could become a house. No one lives here at present. It has electricity and a satellite dish. All mod cons.



#2 Looks even more like a house although there is no glass in the windows.



#3 Also aspiring to become a house, the owner visits regularly to work outside but it seems that no one lives here



#4 This one is now a house. A couple occupied the place a few weeks ago.

...The Gullah have preserved more of their African cultural heritage than any other African Americans. The English spoken by the Gullah is greatly influenced by their native languages of the Fante, Ga, Kikongo, Kimbundu, Mandinka, Twi, Ewe, Ibo and Yoruba...

Fascinating those preserved cultures in the south. another one is Tangier Island
there is an intersting netflix documentary on their cuisine called High on the Hog

not the best youll ever see but worth a watch

...can't remember the details of the post, but I've still got my same old coffee table...so, the item in question is probably too expensive...

Chapter three in the series on the local real estate scene. Here are some of the houses which are or have been occupied.

#1 A couple live here.



#2



#3 The windows here are never opened. People do live here, they own the dog, Mak.



#4 This style of house is not unusual around here. Unfaced cinder block walls, cheap steel rooves and wooden shutters without glazing beneath. This remains a poor province, one of Thailand's poorest.



#5 A small stepp up, the block walls have been faced. No paint though.

Was it you who drew the cock on the wall of that last house, Shutree?

I hope Shu doesn't photograph the wrong gaff

No, I hadn't even noticed that hieroglyph. Definitely time the householder got around to painting the place.

It reminds me that on this loop we meet a good many dogs and most are friendly after the gf has bribed them with dog chews on a daily basis. One friendly girl is a beige, long-haired animal who runs to meet us. One morning she sprinted up, sporting what looked like purple spectacles painted onto her face. Her owner was outside and confessed that he had been drunk the previous night and was responsible for the decorated dog. She was all cleaned up and no worse for wear the next time we saw her.

^ i have noticed a few dogs that sported blue or purple rinses in their bonces.

Some more of the dez. rez. locally.

#6 This impressive detached dwelling with land is available to purchase. The old owners have moved back to the village.



#7 Staying with house #6, one of its key selling points is the collection of mature cactus plants to the front. A good 3 metres tall and currently in flower. Not a common sight around here.



#8 Moving yet further up the property ladder, this delightful house has a roof, faced walls and glazed windows. It has been empty for a while.



#9 Close to the top end now. This house was built with farang money, he and his wife live in Europe somewhere. Tiled roof, most unusual around here. Her dad stops by occasionally to keep an eye on the place.



#10 The newest house nearby. Modern glazing and, well, walls and car parking.

What a bozo!

The world's largest ball of wool was made in Cawker City, Kansas in 2013.

I got the tranny mounted

The Ducati is coming together. First time Ive built Lego in 20 years.

^ you've just reduced the value of it by 60%. You are always complaining about boomers having an easy financial ride and there you are throwing your money in the bin.
