Our house is in the lower middle class area of town. There are 4 houses in our compound with another missionary family in one of the houses. We have aircon in our bedrooms which takes the edge off the heat during the day when it gets really hot (over 40 degrees celcius on some days!) and keeps us cool at night. We have a real battle with the ants. Leave any traces of food around and there will be an army of ants within the hour all over it. They've even been getting into my laptop. I've had to store it in a suitcase to avoid the ants finding it! We rent the house reasonably cheaply compared with Australian rent. Just over AU$100 per month. We have been having problems with the owner's dog, Cola who has been getting aggressive towards Lisa. Our supervisors have given Lisa two bamboo sticks to show the dog who's boss. Our house help (Lina) lives with the owner of the houses in our compound in the house next to us. Her English is quite good so it is great for asking questions with our limited Thai.
- Please for safety from the dog and also from the very steep steps in the house which lead to the bedrooms
- Praise God for our house help Lina who has helped us a lot in our early stages in Thailand
