around my Thai house

Most of you have seen many of my Thai pictures already. But since I have acquired some new friends since I last been to Thailand I thought to make this picture slide.

This is about a 100 yards from my house in either direction. As you may see my house is not completed yet. I expect it to be completed sometime after I get a new job and am able to pay for some more of the work to continue.

The house is in the town of Chom Tong. This is where I have been coming for the last 15 or so years to practice and learn about insight meditation. Of course Chom Tong is much larger then this. These pictures will not give you a clear picture of the town, the Wat ( Wat mean temple in Thai), or the meditation center. I t will just show a little of what its like to take a stroll around my house.

My house is a little bigger then many of the other houses around it. It didn’t seem so big when we started; in fact I thought it was kind of small. I have two lots of land. The first lot is mostly covered by the house. The second lot is adjacent to it. I thought I needed just a little more space and that having a garden would be nice. In addition to completion of the building of the house I will also need to have a little landscaping done.

It’s probably better that I don’t have steady employment most of the time. Just image how much I might have bought and built if I had a job and a steady income.

For those of you who don’t know my house will be the one in the beginning of the slides.

Best wishes
