LANNA HOUSE MUSEUM

 I guess it's only fair that the traditional wooden houses from around Northern Thailand share the bill with a host of amazing trees.  Above, kiddos enjoy the shade, while a couple houses stand on stilts in the background.

Can't believe we hadn't come sooner to the open-air museum, as it sits just across the canal road from our neighborhood.   Will be great to bring friends for a picnic next visit.  About a dozen or so wooden houses have been transported and re-assembled from towns throughout the old Lanna Kingdom, as part of an amazing effort by the traditional architecture faculty at CMU. 

Eamonn loved climbing up into and exploring each house, while Ren remained a bit more hesitant... It did feel just a bit like an intrusion to enter these century old houses, where generations of families have lived.
