Anyone know this house?

[aTomsLife]

I just saw the below article on Yahoo! Apparently a flight attendant built his own home on a Mango farm in Isaan. Looks nice -- small, but very practical living for one or two people. Says he completed it for $9,000 U.S. Anyone know the house?

Exceptional fruit dropped on the grounds of a mango tree farm in บ.คำปะกั้ง for relaxation.

MMmmm... a few things pop up for me:

1. TeleTubby mansion. A bit goofy IMHO, but whatever blows yr kilt up.

2. He built a load bearing masonry dome structure, in Thailand Full Stop.

3. Then he painted it a sun-absorbing dark color... Should be a proper Roaster most of the year.

4. They'll move out, and the locals will convert it to a karaoke or brick firing kiln within a few months.

5. It's all good for the local economy.

1) For $9,000 I think it's a great design, though far from a mansion. Looks about 50 sqm.

2) You'll have to explain, why is this problematic?

3) Agree, good point.

4) I'm curious what the guy's living arrangement is / how secure is the property? Especially given that he's a flight attendant.

5) Sure, but the article makes it sound like he built it himself. Is that even legal?

Maybe the paint was on sale... it's a novel idea... but as far as I can see not practical...
