Here is the house we lived in for 3 years, we had a gardener, driver and maids, Here i am in silk cloths with white shoes, and the view down the driveway. The small hut at the gate was for the gardener .
Wow livin it up in style!
I still love the heat. there were huge catfish and sunfish in the water, never could catch a catfish. A horse staple was behind our house a very wealthy man rented this house to the USA Govt. We had to boil any water we drank or cooked with , Once the maids did no,t we all were very sick for days. I was in the hospital once there terrible sunburn on the beach. The same beach the TV show of Survivor used a few years ago, the most beautiful beach.
Looks like you were "Puttin' on the Ritz" with those white shoes! All you needed as a top hat and cane! "Top hats, and narrow collars, white spats and lots of dollars..." Fred Astaire had nothing on you guys :)
That's great, funny story is we were dressed for dinner in a thai restaurant we went to unbelievable ones The top one is Thailand during these years, all were outside.I remember a huge boat restaurant which looked like the kings boat long and gold. We would walk onto this the food was outstanding light all above us. We had suits made of silk and my sister had silt also. It was so cheap there we had the made for us we never went into stores, only the outside markets.
Beautiful. These could have been used in a brochure to entice people to visit. Thanks for sharing. Lao
Are those your parents in the back row, or older siblings? They look very young. Sounds like you have some very good, life-long memories to relish.
Older brother and older sister, i am in the middle. My young sister is beside me and a younger brother was born in Thailand
Just remembered what was the name of the water around the house,Klong it never dried up, around the streets they do dire up after the rain month.
