“Oh! Eight years ago, I was at my mother’s relative’s house. a distant relative He’s over there. And that time was the time when I wanted to have my own house. I’ve seen more than 20 houses and this is not an ordinary village. And I’m someone who likes weird things. Things that other people don’t like. Or call it unconventional, PK will like it no matter what. And when I saw this place, it looked like a big mountain with a lake because it felt like Long Island where I grew up, so I started to like it. But with the fact that at that time we didn’t have this much money And there is no job like this. But the price of this house is high. This house is a model home. which the sample house is not this size This is a new extension. At that time, it was 20 million, and we had 6 million saved in our account, but hey, I wanted a dream in the future, so I took the remaining 6 million to borrow and slowly drilled the pool. make a corridor around Building up a house is gradually doing one project at a time. After paying, let’s continue. That is, there is no need to hurry because the concept is really there to stay.”

It’s just that I’m a person who has a high personal world and a high imagination, which is called an artist. And it can’t show it all or that it can do it all because he was afraid his brother would annoy him So I felt that if one day I had a house, it would have to have my personal space. in our being the most want to do anything Well, this house brings together all my needs in life that I have. like having a jacuzzi to sit outside like a foreign rapper, there’s also a swimming pool.

Then I got an on-off switch box. that can use a remote to turn on-off all lights It can be turned off and on by touch. or remote One remote can turn off the whole house.”

With one good fortune our parents found him. he has his We don’t have to take care of him. The middle brother, the eldest as well, has a family and works well. money we earn We don’t have children yet. then who will give We spoil fans. What would he want or where would he like to travel?

As we eat rice boxes, we eat dumplings, we have eaten chicken rice since we came to Thailand in the past. We worked at events and we ate backstage. We can eat whenever. Which, for us, doesn’t depend on the luxury of the food. But it’s up to the people who eat it too. Really like this person.”

The jacuzzi is all new, the kitchen is reworked, the bathroom is renovated, the house actually didn’t have a living room in the past. And then in the living room is a lawn and then made it all the way to the edge of the fence and then make a swimming pool on the right flank and the fish pond on the left flank Because I am a person who likes to be addicted to water. Turn around and you’ll see the lake.”
