Treavor and I were mall-hopping the other day while on a date. On the way to boarding the escalators, I walked by this lovely display advertising a housing development on our side of town...
I had seen this display before, but had my camera handy this time. The first few times I walked by it, I did a double-take at the name...really? Richy Rich Land? I still laugh out loud when I see it.
Our city has every level of style and standard of living. While some of you may still think that all Thais live in incredibly rural abodes, there really is a precedent for everything here. I have visited friends in one-room shanties and others living in high-end homes with private ponds and multiple possessions busting out of every available storage place.
The home we live in is comfortable and in a gated-community...so I am not writing this to point fingers at foreigners OR Thais who live in pretty places.
I think it is mainly the name of this living community that gets me every time. It is unashamedly ostentatious and gives me a good laugh when I see it.

| If this is a "real-life" model of a house in the Richy Rich Land community, then I think I would invest in black-out curtains if I wanted to get any sleep at night! |

| Every Richy Rich Land house comes fully equipped with a Benz. Or, at least, they look extra good-looking in the carport. |
You never know what you're gonna see here.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look at an ordinary day here in a very extraordinary land.
