Here's the front of the house with overlooks a narrow soi, Thai for side street, opposite Chian House. Note the seaside blue. Next door to the right is used as a hand-produced food kitchen making all sorts of small Thai dishes. To the left is a quiet Thai man. There are comings and goings at the kitchen between 6am and 10pm each day.
In through the front door.
To the lounging and dining area. An L-shaped room. The stairs to the next floor are on the left, next to a downstairs squat toilet and shower room.
Round the corner of the L to Peter's lounge or currently one of Kaya's play rooms. The door to the right is to the kitchen.
The kitchen, now devoid of ants, is the furnace of the house. It is south facing and the only ventilation are vents in the wall.
Upstairs into Peter's front room which he uses as a spare room. His room is at the hotter but quieter south-facing back of the house. Kaya sleeps in her LittleLife tent-style travel cot.
The murals were painted by a Japanese ex-girlfriend of Peter's who lives two doors away. Big space for Kaya to practice her crawling. Tile floors easily mopped after wees.
This overlooks Chian House where we are usually serenaded by Eddie, a Thai guy who sings and plays guitar. Its a really pleasant backdrop and he's sometimes joined by others. I enjoyed a beer with Eddie last night. He's been entertaining us each evening with his rendition of his favourite Beatles' song - 'Don't Let Me Down'. He knows half the chords and almost as many words.
