MY HOME

Thanks to the wonderful Google Maps application you can now see where I live from above. I've added some descriptions to make things a little clearer. As you can see (if you click on the pic to get the larger view) my home is in the bottom left corner of this image. I have a room in a condo block right next to a temple. Directly opposite my condo is a spa complex. A little further down the soi (street) is a small 7-Eleven store and a few steps more brings you to a slightly larger Tesco Lotus mini market. Just a five minute walk from my condo is a large shopping mall.
This pic, I guess from the developments that have happened since, was from around one year ago or more. The shadows indicate it was taken in the morning, and there's also the usual amount of traffic on the road at the end of my soi, although surprisingly little on the highway at the top.

Nice.
What area and shopping mall is this?

This would be Tha Phra. Not exactly a tourist or even an expat area but nice all the same.

I am surprised by the amount of greenery in the picture. What kind of trees are these?

As you can imagine there is a huge variety of trees close to my condo. Some I don't know but there are certainly a significant number of mango, coconut and palm trees. There are also one or two pines. I'll take some pics and post in the next week or so on this.
