To the left, Ao's mother Noi with Martin's gift from
Norway. She is a tough cookie and in charge of everything
that goes on at Arcadian Villa. |
|
|
Money goes fast. Thank God for the ATMs so Martin can burn
some cash. At Ao Nang's Shooting range. Not bad. |
|
|
The sign of the shooting range. It is very
well constructed. No bullets can leave the confines of the range. |
|
|
Safety rules are clear and to the point.
Ao's new house, if he can finance it. Asked the bank and it
takes a month to process. |
|
|
Front view of the house to be. The backstop
of the house. Here there will be a waterfall. |
|
|
The entrance side towards the mountains. In
his living room. All units have 3 stories, but no kitchen! Cannot fathom
that, house without kitchen? The architects must have been sleeping. |
|
|
They are building at the back of the house. If the mountain
doesn't fall down on them, it's a nice place. On the third
floor. There is an enormous room there with no access. Could easily been
used as a guest room. Again, what kind of architects build and enormous room
with no access? Someone must have been sleeping in the class. |
|
|
There is a kind of sea view if you look hard enough through
the trees. Waster containers of some sort at the back of the
flats up the hill side. |
|
|
Cutting stripes in the concrete is hard work.
Here you can see the machine. It is to prevent slippery slopes up to the
house. |
|
|
Making rails the old fashion style by hand.
Off to the Gillhams. This is the view Martin enjoys while developing
himself, reading computer magazines, drinking beer and tanning. |
|
|
The loo and the shower of the pool area. Frequented by
Martin often before and after his bouts of swimming. Usually 3 times 1000
meters a day. In tanning mode underneath a cover in case of
rain. |
|
|
Martin's rain hut. Nice, but this far, it never rained
during the day. It only pours down in the morning and that's it.
The beautiful landscape of the Gillhams. |

Stuart, the owner, has a flair for gardening as can be seen
here in is flower bed with rock. Stuart himself, a proud
father of Jack, just two months old. And his beautiful Thai wife. Lucky
fellow. |
