It is rare to still find traditional houses on stilts in Thailand constructed with Teak Wood. Teak is both termite and pest proof, extremely durable but expensive.

This house was over 150-years old and besides all the jars of ancestor's ashes, the family also raises Fighting Fish. Cock Fighting and Fighting Fish are the two big rural sports in Thailand during non-growing seasons. It was difficult to believe that these beautiful fish could be so violent!
