Start

My name is Kjell. Together with my girlfriend (future wife) Ang, we will start a story about building a house in east of Thailand.
It started with many years of travelling in Thailand. We went south (Phuket, Krabi, Phang Nga, Trang, Hua Hin, Cha Am) and north (Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Nan, Pai) to find a place we want to live - without success. One day my mother showed me a clip from a newspaper - it was a small sleepy fishing village in the east of Thailand with name Mae Phim. After some discussions with Ang we decided to rent a car and find out this place - and here it was - a place to live.

Mae Phim is the beach with 3 km of soft nice sand and clear water. The adjacent village is named Kram. Except from some small scale turism from Norway, Sweden and Finland the main turists here comes from Bangkok during the weekends or bigger holidays. You drive here from Bangkok in 2 - 3 hours depending on traffic and how fast car you have.

Roof - Part 2

The roof took three days. The put tiles both on the high roof and most part on the lower roof. They decided to wait with the part that is between the big and low part because the plastering work on the high wall could make the tiles very dirty and difficult to clean after. Another solution should have been covering the part, but that was not an option - they are the experts, so it's just to lean back and let them do what they want. Lats and lifting tiles. Some parts done Under the high roof Notice the security hooks and helmets (not?). Low roof Most ready now. The team will now wait for the plastering work on the outer walls on the high part and then its time to finishing up.
