The builder used concrete pipes to make up the columns - a clever approach I think.
Having seen the building of the main bird house, putting up these walls was a piece of cake.
Steel structure supporting the roof being erected.
And finally the steel roof over it.
Part of it would be my workshop cum store.
Around the farm, catches from the deep pond never seem to run out! This is only 1/3 being dried in the sun.
But this was the catch that make me envy - it's claws was 30cm long and I have yet to taste one!
My first visitors are my blog reader Nana and husband from Bangkok; dropping by during their tour of bird farming areas in the south. My brother & good friends were around too.
The next two visitors were from Singapore, again my blog readers. They will be bird nest farmers too in near future.
I took them to tour around Petchaburi & Samut Songkhram, just to sample a bit of what Thailand has to offer. Of course not to miss out the famous bird nest temple of Wat Chum Lon at Samut Sakon.
Near Khao Yoi (between Samut Songkhram & Petchaburi) is a Laos Cultural Heritage Center with a number of beautiful Laotian village houses.
A scenic forest park near Cha-Am.
A short walk from the bird nest temple of Wat Ban Laem is the "railway market" at Mae Klong Station.
Vendors placed their wares right to the edge of the railway line!
Albert was pleasantly surprised, "I've seen this on TV before, I don't know it is right here!"
As for me, I saw the first nest formed after returning from the road tour to northern Thailand during the Christmas/New Year holidays. So what is better than that to wrap up 2009 and kicking off with 2010?
