Monday
October 14th together with dog Kadhow my girlfriend and I went to
visit her mom in Muang Surin (Surin city) in Surin province. Just to help a bit
with redecorating her house and to have the chance to visit and feel some land
again as written in my blog of September 2.
Surin is
a province of a part of Thailand called ‘Isaan’. It is in the North-East part
of the country close to the border of Cambodia. It is not a real touristic
area. It is mostly flat country side and well known as the rice shed of
Thailand, wonderful Thai Silk, and the Thai elephants (with its yearly so-called
Elephant Roundup).
We visited
some land plots and both discovered one of the plots feels very good. So we
want to go on exploring more about possibly starting to build and live there in
the future.
It is a
plot of 9.372 m2 rice field land (about 52 x 180 m). My girlfriend’s dad, over ten years
ago, heightened about 2.250 m2 of that plot for more than 1.5 meters with good
soil. No rice production on that piece of the land. So to say after this long
period it is ‘untouched soil’. Maybe it will give us the opportunity to build
with concrete strip foundation.
This
heightened land looks and feels as a kind of terrace above the lower rice field.
A pond of about 400 m2 is part of this raised area.
About 100
meters away is a rubber tree plantation and a small forest. There are 5 cows as
neighbors who have shade of a shed. The next neighbor is about 250 meters from
the land and it is about 350 meters away from a provincial road.
Also Kadhow,
the times we visited to check the measurements from the land paper, felt enthusiastic running around in the huge field.
Soon some
(more) pictures.
