My Thai wife tried to turn my Bangkok condo into a farm


My wife in her childhood days
At least she didn't put a rice paddy in the second bathroom. But it all turned out OK in the end and made good use of floor space that is usually wasted in tropical high-rise architecture -- outside decks which are useless for living but really function mainly to create shade. This is not to say we are promoting the idea of "vertical farming" as it is sometimes imagined -- heavy duty ag in interior spaces apparently patterned after, and possibly conceived of, while under the influence. You can see our approach in this short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgoILoIVwG8
