A Tour of "My Thai Home".Having lived in Thailand now for almost six years, I was ready for someplace a little different from the norm. It is difficult and in my opinion not a really wise idea to buy a house here so I choose to rent. My new house rents for less than an average apartment in the U.S.

Here is a tour of my "new" home.......http://daveearly.smugmug.com/My-Home/A-Tour-of-My-Thai-Home/House-250/331560819_4sKZF-Ti.jpghttp://daveearly.smugmug.com/gallery/5421866_jY9Fm/2009-05-06T02:58:16ZCopyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
