Khao Tao Lake

[caller]

The teacher in a school video called this building "Learning Center for Royal Initiative Projects" อาคารศูนย์การเรียนรู้ที่เกี่ยวกับโครงการพระราชดำริ.

Sounds pretty much like a musum to me!

I had a walk around the lake and surrounding area last month and the name of a new villa behind the lake amused me:

Maybe you already knew this, but that's the title of an award winning Swedish drama series about Swedish expats living in Thailand.

Actually, I didn't know that!
It's a villa on the road around the back of the lake that goes to Had San Noi.

With my current car problems, today was the first visit for a while. Looking at the building, it is finished, and waiting for somebody to move in. No signage that I could see, so the suspense goes on.

Nobody can re-create my car problem (even me), so if they can't see the problem, nobody knows what to fix. Therefore, I am driving it as normal, locally, with instructions to drive straight to the garage if it happens again. Meanwhile, daily visits to the lake should be back on.

I followed the building of the whatever it is in the lake, right up to almost completion before I had my accident. Has anybody been that way recently? Do we know what it is yet please?

[STEVE G]

^ I can happily confirm that they're waiting for you to get mobile again before completion, so as to keep up the suspence!
When I was here in May, there was some decorating going on with a trestle and paint in one of the rooms and a guy, presumably the painter, asleep in a hammock outside.
I was there a few days ago and the trestle and paint had moved to a different room and the guy was sat on the steps outside eating.

IThanks Steve. My recovery is faster than expected, and I could be back there within 4 weeks.

I've discovered recently that you can now get off the path around the lake on the far side which you couldn't do when they built it.
Between Camp Loch cafe and that place with the small carousel, someone has put in some concrete and a step that gets you onto a lane that leads to the road to Had Sanoi.

[Big Boy]

There used to be a small bridge there before to Memory House?, but it was demolished. When Lock Camp arrived, they put that little step in.

[STEVE G]

Yes, it's handy because I like to cut through to Had Sanoi.
