The house that Dee built...


(and her brothers). This is a pretty amazing story. Two to three years ago Dee overheard that a baby was going to be sold for 750 Baht- about $25, so she bought her. Today there are 40 kids living in two homes near Sangkla Buri, a town near the Burmese Border. It was going to cost a million baht if they had builders build this house, so Dee, her brother and cousin got on the net and did a bit of research and built it for about a third of that. It has a distinctly un Thai look as you drive in and see it over rice fields with a rubber plantation behind- more like a swiss or English dwelling.
