There Was A House In Namsom,

[Lickey]

And now its gone! we walked to our old house yesterday only to find the house on the corner had gone! it had a little pic on the wood of the rising sun, cos the morning sun would go into bedroom and wake up the farmer,

Anyway, Mrs questioned her brother,[neighbour] what happened to house? where is family ect? He told us that a truck came and some labour, and in 6 hours the house was on truck and away, it was an all wood house on 1 mtr stilts, about 10mtr wide and near 30 long,

Apparantley, farmers 7year old 30 rai rubber plantation had just started producing, and thieves had been there collecting the sap, he decided that moving his house to his farm was cheaper than fencing it off, and his 5 dogs would patrol the rubber trees.

Its a good idea if you dont have a big concrete house like us, or your farm isnt fenced off.

Cheers Lickey.

What a great idea for some enterprising farang.

As it is not possible to own land in Thai,it is legal to legally own the structure thereon.

Portable homes,just what we need

Hi justcrusin, yep, good idea, start a portakabin buisness, i would have one on our farm, just to get away from all the lovely girl customers who come into mrs salon, Seriously, it would be ideal in the dry season to look after the night time irrigation ect, and the peace and quiet would be a bonus, oh yes, a fridge full of beer and a CD player,

come on farmers, what would you have in your farm re-treat?

Cheers, Lickey.
