Feel free to message me about your plans. Even if my calendar doesn't show availability, I have quite a lot of flexibility as I can work remotely if I stay in the Southeast Asian region.

You can watch birds & a handsome squirrel jump across branches from the bed :)
There's shelves, drawer space, and hanging space for you when you visit.
The balcony is a wonderful, leafy space, with a covered roof. The fan cools the area down.
View of the office, balcony and wealth corner (in feng shui). In reality, the wooden bar and shelves outside the door hide the cat's litter box :)
View from the desk. There's a 32" computer monitor screen, Bose speakers, and a Canon printer that you can plug into and use when visiting.
The kitchen is compact, but has a microwave & convection oven, an airfryer, hot & cold water dispenser, an espresso coffee machine, plus a medium sized fridge.
The kitchen has compact space yet includes a dishwasher, oven, and gas stove.
