The houses here are over 60 years old, although there must have been a fair amount of replacing walls and roofs at one time or another.

Ban Khob Dong, Doi Angkang, Fang.

It's always hard to tell how old houses are on Samui, but very few more than 30 years or so old.... This one has an old guy perhaps in his eighties living in it...

He grows squash ... just about all his post supports collapsed earlier this year!

Not so old but it's called Fred Flint-stone house.... made of cement...

Somebody is living in there.

Washing day, today.

Freshly "Mia Farang" visits the elderly...

Just shows what a difference a lick of paint can do.

Fortunate to be invited into the grounds of the Tak Sin Army Camp in Chanthaburi, an area not available to the public.

This building currently under restoration dates from the year 1900 and was built by the French Army who occupied Chanthaburi province 1893-1906; it is one of seven French buildings on the site, and the last one to be restored.

Bungalows for rent.
