View from the end of the Soi50-70 metres from the riverbank is where we will build but hopefully high enough above the floodlevel that seems to be occuring lately.changnoi

Front View from the SoiHouse was built about 35-40 years ago. Apart from a kitchen and bathroom add on at the back not a lot changed in that time. Some great wood floors, was tempted to keep it for use in the new house but no where to store so gave in and recycled it with the locals.changnoi

After the knock down for Wood and Roof TinThis is what was left after the guys came early one morning after mother-in-law had struck the deal. Not much left thats for sure. A couple of other people came and tookbits and peices over the next couple of weeks. Was surprised what lengths people would goto to salvage the metal from the concrete stairs and columns.changnoi

A Visit last week back to Thailand shows further DemolitionWe had to take a trip back to Thailand to sign some bank & land documents and visited the build site and the guys had been back to further clear some of the old house.
