The house John West rejected in Lampang

We looked at about a dozen houses for rent in our recent trip to Lampang. This was the best of the lot. We really liked the house, but it was a bit too nice unfortunately. We do not know what group of people we will seek to reach in Lampang and a house like this may exclude all but the high class of Lampang. At 15,000 baht a month (AU$ 100 per week), it is very cheap by Australian standards. We eventually decided on a house which was 6,000 baht per month (AU$50 per week). Our house is in town, whereas this house was a bit out of town.
A very enticing aspect of the above house was that it had a club house with these pools and an air-conditioned gym! It would have been a very comfortable missionary life, but not to be for the moment.

Surely there are rich people in the town that need the gospel too ;)

Well done Cho's.
