My Thai friend and MBA classmate built a 4-million baht house next to his parents' residence. The house of his parents (in fact it was built for him) is so big already that there actually was no need for him to build a new house.
I have been staying at his parents' house every weekend when I have MBA classes in Bangkok. It'd be too far for me to go back to my campus where I am teaching and at the same time living.
So my 29-year-old friend (I will turn 28 last week of this month) built another big house. (Kanus-a pa kaha ko kabalay ug ako?
).
More than a month ago the house saw its complete completion. I mean the house is already complete in every sense of the word - furnishings, furniture, appliances, etc.
On the night I came to his house last month, my friend, with his Thai friends, welcomed me at the dining table. We ate and talked and occasionally I checked Tubag Bohol out. The whole house is powered with a wireless Internet.
"Mike, your room is ready," my friend told me, pointing his finger at the second floor. I smiled. "You can stay here as long as you want, and that's your room and Sumit's (our Indian friend in the MBA class). But Sumit seldom joins us on weekends as he stays with his relatives in Bangkok. So, most of the time I stay alone in this room and even alone in the whole house as my friend and his girlfriend would often go out for work and party.
The room is better than many hotel rooms that I've been to.
Friends are jewels of treasure - they can give you or lend you their room or entire house.
