Home Sweet Home

Accommodations in Thailand are a little different than at home. Depending on where you live, you might not have a toilet, but instead a squatty potty. You might not have any hot water or anything that resembles our showers, and you for sure will not have a kitchen.

Thankfully, we have it good in Thailand. We have a toilet, hot water, a box thing that resembles a shower, air conditioning, and a mini fridge. Below are a few pictures of our place that we decided to pay a little extra money for, so we could have the things that we're used to. Also by pay a little extra, I mean we pay 120 U.S. dollars a month for this place with utilities and wifi included.

You can see that when you walk through the door you're right in the part of the room that we have as the bedroom. Now the bed is not that comfortable, and sometimes the occasional lizard runs behind the bed. But it's okay because the lizard never tries to cuddle us, so we just leave them alone. 

Across from the bed we have our desk and then at the end of the room we have our wardrobe.  

Then next to the wardrobe we have the mini fridge, and on top of it we have a little electric burner that we bought. In Thailand, food on the street is so cheap, that it's cheaper to eat out all the time than to buy groceries and cook. This is the reason that many places do not have a kitchen in them. We, however, wanted to be able to make eggs for breakfast before school, so we bought a few dishes and pans and the electric burner. We also bought the table so we would have somewhere to sit and eat, and this is the part of the room that is the kitchen.

The door at the end of the room goes out to the laundry room and bathroom, which are partially outside.

The first room you walk in to outside is what we consider the laundry room. We have a washing machine downstairs in our apartment, but there is not a dryer. So once we've washed our clothes or towels or whatever, we hang them on the clothesline in our 'laundry room' to dry. You also can see the sink we use to wash our hands and brush our teeth.

Off of the laundry room we have the bathroom. Here you can see the box that is our shower, that thankfully has hot water. We also have the toilet, and next to it is a sprayer thing that people use instead of toilet paper. We went and bought toilet paper anyways.

Anyways, that's our home sweet home for the year. I hope you enjoyed the tour.
