Our Thai Home

This is the rest of the house, came fully funished. Photo taken from the kitchen doorway, and the childrens bedroom is just off the left side of photo and our bedroom is the one after the desk, And that is our house very small, but as we keep reminding ourselves, it is slightly bigger than a caravan. 

Our kitchen, fully furnished right down to spoons and forks (had to borrow some knives as Thai dont use these!

These are some photos that capture Asia for us.  Wish we could pass on the sounds and smells as well.  The smoke has been very bad, and havent seen blue sky, stars or the mountains, but in a month it will clear with some rain.  We love Chiang Mai!
