Bangkok Life part 23


This week as been very busy. Dave from Huddersfield briefly visited on Sunday and on Monday I showed Dave and two of his friends Geoff and Julie around a couple of the Temples of Bangkok. I will tell you more about it in a later post.

Nuch had Friday off work so we could go to the house and finally sign over the house to say that it was completed. This is the 4th time we have been up. It is silly things like windows sticking and settling cracks in a couple of walls. I also got chance to see how they actually build the houses. Across the road from us, they where building Town Houses. Basically they put down the foundations, then all off the walls and floors are pre-cast on site and just craned into place were they are bolted down. The roof is then welded in place and the tiles put on, Voila! The quality is not as good as a new house in the UK, but it is still very good, also a three bed Town House would cost more than £12000. We hope to be in by the end of December. We began to think about the garden, as you can see from the picture, its quite big. So we are going to have lots of fruit trees like Mango, Banana and Papaya.

I discovered a new fruit this week. A Salon looks like a peach and is the same size, it as a core like an apple and also a texture more apple than pear. The taste is more pear than apple and they are very juicy. Gorgeous!
