Someone needs to pinch me. We have officially moved into our new home in Phuket, Thailand three days ago. It has been Chad and I’s dream to try living in Thailand since before we got married, and now here we are.
We found a beautiful house in the Chalong area of Phuket. We are within walking distance to restaurants, shops, new friends homes, and a short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Not only are we over the moon about being here in Thailand for a bit longer, but we also just booked tickets to visit our family and friends in California in April! We are stopping in Tokyo, Japan on our way to America, so do not think that just because we have a house in Phuket, the travel is over, we will continue to travel and I will continue to write about it.
I wanted to give you all the grand tour of our new house… Welcome!
Our new home in Phuket, Thailand
We may have downgraded on the pool size from our place in Hua Hin, but our new yard is easy to take care of, not to mention beautiful.
The foyer. I don’t know if the shell curtain thing will stay, as I keep hitting my head on it, but it sure looks pretty.
The living room.
This has to be the largest piece of furniture I have ever had in a house I have lived in. I just don’t know what to do with the storage space.
The dining room.
A typical Thai kitchen. It used to be an outdoor kitchen, but has since been blocked in. The two bedrooms that are adjacent to the kitchen have windows that look into the kitchen (or what used to be outside).
Other view of the our kitchen. You can see the windows to the bedrooms in this picture.
Walkway to the bedrooms and baths. (Sorry no pictures of the baths, I figure you can imagine what a toilet, shower, and sink look like
The guest bedroom.

I hope I haven’t bored you to tears with the tour of our new place, but I have had so many people ask about it that I figured it was easier just to use my Monday Montage to show you instead of tell you.
Happy Monday everyone!
And Three To Go 
Looks like a very nice place to stay in! Not at all bored, thanks for the great tour. Must be exciting to see family soon. And Japan, nice! Btw, Elle has promised to write a free but fun post on Japan, which you might be interested in!
Oh I cannot wait to read it!
What a gorgeous outdoor area you have and blue skies…. a real treat for us in the UK at the moment with grey days.
I love the outdoor area around this house. I have friends in the uk and have heard it had been a cold winter, and spring is off to a grey start too. I hope it warms up, or at least you get some sun soon!
Love the new house! Looks very comfy and homey. I also love the mirrors on the closet in front of the bed. Great placement;-) can’t wait to see you guys!
Thanks Patti! Sometimes I love those mirrors, other times I scare myself with my morning hair in them. Haha
That was fun to see the house! Thanks! The kitchen looks like a long galley kitchen!
And a trip home? Wow!
It does!
Yes, it is both exciting and nerve wracking. So many people to see and not much time really. I am just really thankful that z is going to get to know some more of our family. When we left she was so young. I am also thankful that we are heading back here after. 🙂
Make people come see you. We’ve tried the running around bit and it’s for the birds.
It will be nice to have a “home” to return to, won’t it!?
Looks very cool and what a lovely adventure 🙂
Thanks! I think it is pretty cool. 🙂
Love, loved getting to meet you on Sunday! Love your new ‘pool’ house! I’m coming over for a swim!
It was so great meeting you, I am looking forward to chatting more on Sunday.
You’re welcome anytime… I may make you pay a kombucha toll though. Haha 🙂
Wow, it looks fantastic. Congrats on your new home. It’s makes you feel so more settled when you have a base, doesn’t it?
It does. And I was ready for it. I still want to travel all the time, just not with so much luggage or for so long in each place.
Congrats on the new house! Lots of space 🙂 Love Z’s room 🙂 and the pool is nice 🙂 California and Japan both sound good 🙂
Thank you!
It’s beautiful! And huge! Great find 🙂
Thanks! We are pretty happy with it so far.
Wow, gorgeous! And look at that kitchen! I think it is bigger than my whole apartment here 🙂
It’s the biggest kitchen we have had this whole trip! I am pretty excited about it.
Your house looks fabulous, spacious and very clean. A dream. Congratulations once again. I love your backyard and kitchen. Lovely 🙂 🙂
Thank you!
I think I missed this on post but I’m glad you linked this up over at Bronwyn’s notice board. Your house is adorable! We had a shell curtain before too!
Outdoor kitchen is really common in Asia I think. I remember my great grandmother’s house, she had this huge kitchen and dining area but she also had a “dirty” kitchen outside. And the house I grew up in back in Iligan also had a dirty kitchen even if we had a fully functioning kitchen inside. That’s something we don’t have here in the house we are renting in Cebu though. But it doesn’t stop me from cooking outside. I have a portable charcoal stove that I use for dishes that takes a while to cook! 😉
I can really understand the outdoor kitchen, you don’t want something cooking in the house for long periods of time on hot days.
The shell curtain came with the house, and actually is a great theft alarm, everyone that walks in the house hits their head on it. 🙂
What a fantastic place to live, love the house! I am jealous of all that amazing food you must have on your doorstep too! 🙂
We do have some pretty good food here. I just need to start walking to the places more often to combat the amount I eat. 🙂
