STORY: Chrach Pov built himself an 'airplane house'

to fulfill his lifelong dream of flying

Locator: Siem Reap, Cambodia

[Chrach Pov, Builder and owner] “I feel so happy to live in the airplane house, because it looks like the real airplane when I walk inside it and I'm staying inside it even though it cannot fly. I am so excited that I can fulfill my dream now even though it is not yet 100 percent done.”

The airplane house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms

Pov reckons he has spent about $20,000 on the project so far

The construction worker plans to build a coffee shop next to his home for visitors

and still hopes to be able to fly on a real plane one day
