Not sure if this qualifies as an old house; but what is perched on top of it looks pretty ancient.

The accommodation is nothing more than a container; but it does have an engine out the front as a conversation piece, and the aircraft on top must help reduce the heat from the sun and provide additional sleeping space when people come to stay.

^^^ FR...That container has an old Fairchild C-123 Provider perched on top. Not an uncommon aircraft

in these parts back in the 60's & 70's. Used in a few configurations such as logistics, the AC variant used

on the HCMT (see attached link) and the UC version (sprayed Agent Orange on Vietnam) amongst other

variants. Here's a wiki link...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_C-123_Provider

And another link about the AC variant...

Mind you, I wouldn't wanna be living in the conex below the plane if said plane

was of the UC variant.....Hmmmmmm....

If you go see it again look for a serial/tail number & PM it to me...an old

friend can trace it's history....could be interesting. Or have a good close

look on the engne and find the serial number...same thing regarding

history and better still...an engine serial number along with the tail number.

Apologies- but spirit houses seem to have been acceptable so far in the topic- and I want it to appear in my 'my content' list. Thanks for reviving it Olinki- some great photos here. (Note to self- spend more time browsing the photography forum).

Yes rhythmworx, look like a french architecture from the last century; like we can see in Vietnam and Laos ;

but in these countries, they did very good renovation about these buildings;

never in Thailand ;

don't know why the words repair, , maintain, keep up, clean, don't make dirty , don't exist in the thai dictionary ...sad.png

A bit of a cheat, since this is a reconstruction at the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek Garden in CM.

It always amazes me how they managed any degree of safety, cooking inside a wooden house on an open fire with only a small bed of sand for a base.

Mrs R delivering a lecture on drinking. Fortunately this time it was only on how, in her childhood home, the family kept the drinking water on a stand like this.
