Our Apartment

I haven't posted in months! I took these pictures a while ago and forgot to put them on.

If you're wondering what the inside of our apartment looks like, here it is!


This door is our front door. So the door and big window are in front behind the TV. The short cabinet to the left is the shoe cupboard b/c Thais keep their shoes in a cupboard by the door, they don't wear them in the house.

This is what you see from the front door... the living/kitchen room, separated by a classy pleather couch...

A better view of the indoor kitchen... that door leads to the outdoor kitchen (sink, stove, and washing machine outside).

Door to the outside kitchen (and to our Thai neighbor's outside kitchen)...

Stove/washing machine. Emily lives right over that wall behind the washing machine!

This is the "ant cupboard." People keep their food in here so ants don't get in the food... and the ants stay away because of those purple bowls at the bottom. The bowls are filled with water and ants can't swim! We had terrible ants in Chiang Mai, but since we're the first to live in our apartment it isn't so bad yet. We have more spiders than anything else.




Close up of the "moat" bowl...


Upstairs there are two bedrooms that each have a bathroom attached. These bathrooms have a shower, toilet, and sink all in about a 15-square foot room. We have one "dry" bathroom in our bedroom and the "wet" bathroom in the office room.

So here's the office...


Leading to the wet bathroom...


Our hot water heater! I couldn't get a good shot, but that shower head points directly down to the toilet.

I guess I forgot to take pictures of the bedroom... maybe I'll get some soon.
