bTicino_six_module_unit.jpg
bTicino 6 module unitThis is the bTicino 6 module unit (without its escutcheon). Notice how it is not important in Thailand to have things nice and level. The modules in this unit are standard one-way ocker switches costing 24 baht each. The unit with its escutcheon costs 80 baht and includes the screws.jazzmanFeb 28, 2007
Shera_board.jpg
PorchThe gable end is covered with the same cream coloured 3" SHERA board that will be used for the soffit. The drainpipes for the Tuscan pillars can be clearly seen. They will be clad when we get an idea of what with- probably light green mosaic tiles.

Porch ceilingPorch ceiling made of plasterboard aka gypsum board, Rigips, or known in the US as sheetrock? In the picture is the recess for a downlight. Atilla has recesses like this in all his rooms for the ceiling fans. The Thais just love working with plasterboard since they discovered it last year...

The first wallsWe thought they were going to tile the roof first. 8 ton of tiles had arrived the previous day according to the logistics, just to sit around for another 3 weeks while all the exterior and interior walls were raised.

kitchen_base.jpg
Kitchen base units.Frustrated at not being able to get nice wooden base units carpentered locally, we finally bought these nice cupboard fronts and a matching 3-drawer unit in a sale at Global House. Sale? Hmm... still not cheap - this is 22,000 baht's worth of wood !
Nevertheless, factory made and very nicely finished and polished.

Holes_in_base.jpg
Holes cut in the brick base for the cupboards.The light shining through is a special cupboard for the gas tank. There is a steel door on the outside. You drive up with you car with a new gas tank and push it in through from outside. Saves carrying the heavy tank all the way round the back to the kitchen.
Lacking any better ideas, the fronts were tiled with leftovers from one of the bathrooms.

Secluded beachHere is the beach which is directly in front of the condo. You can see you won't have to fight the crowds here. This place is the essence of peace and quiet. But there you can see just down the beach is downtown Pattaya. MsDozerFeb 22, 2007
