SIEM REAP, Cambodia — A Cambodian airplane fanatic has built his house shaped like a private jet—despite never having been up in the air himself. Construction worker Chrach Peou spent his $20,000 life savings building the concrete “plane”—complete with wings, tailfin, landing gear and engines—near the town of Siem Reap, gateway to the famed Angkor Wat temple complex.
The 43-year-old widowed father of three said it took him almost a year to build, using money he had saved over 30 years.The house, which has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, stands elevated on pillars six meters above a rice field. “We can live here, sleep here, use bathrooms here, and have meals here like on a plane. It is my own, I am so happy,” Peou told Agence France-Presse .He said he designed the house after watching countless videos of private jets on the internet.“It is beautiful, attractive, there are palm trees nearby,” Kim Muoy, 28, told AFP during a visit to the airplane house with her family.“When I have money and know where I want to go to, I will take a plane to go there,” he said.
