Simple housing in Banlaem

Not all Thai houses will have a kitchen or furniture like we do. People will sit and eat on the floor. There is also no shower or bath as we know it, instead there is a big 'tub' for the water and a jug. Thai people bathe by throwing water over themselves.
Most toilets are squat toilets although the western style toilets are becoming more available. Near the squat toilets there is a container filled with water and a cup or a hose pipe. These replace the flush of water.
In almost house, including slum housing, a TV, fridge and radio is a matter of course.
