Jindapat Household

Note: While family names are not typically used to distinguish families apart in Thai, they are used here on this page for ease of reading in English.

Ming drawing the pink line between their houses with Pran's dad

The Jindapat Household belongs to Pat and Ming's family, and neighbors the Siridechawat Household next door. It is located on Plot 55 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Sometime shortly after Pat and Pran's birth, a short pink line was drawn by Ming between the trashcans outside of both of their houses. There is a telephone pole along with two security cameras between the outside of their houses.

Both houses are settings in Episodes 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 12, usually when Pat and Pran go home to visit their families during or after the semester. They also appear in flashbacks in Episode 2. Their houses are relatively close to South Tech University, as Pa regularly drove back and forth to help do Pat's laundry when she was still in high school.

P'Aof and the rest of the crew had searched all over Bangkok for two houses close enough to each other that Pat could sneak into Pran's room easily, even as a young child. In the original Bad Buddy trailer, their houses were originally set to be across the street from each other.

External shot of Pat's house, Episode 6

Between the pink lines, the Jindapat household has a red trash can, and is on the left side when facing the front of Pat and Pran's houses. It has grey fencing, and a large wooden double door swing gate that leads into a single driveway. Pat parks his car in front of his dad's in the driveway during Episode 8. His family also has a hose, and his father typically washes his car in the driveway.

They have a grey metal mailbox attached to the fencing on the left side when facing the front of the house. A small sitting area can be seen on the front lawn, with a seating area and a patio swing bench. Greenery lines the fences, as well as around the house and in the front lawn. The house has a light yellow plaster, with a brown terracotta roof.

There is a balcony, which is attached to Pat's Bedroom.

Despite having a stone archway, Pat and his family use the glass side door as the main entrance, which leads into their living room.

All the interior rooms of the Jindapat's house have white plaster.

Entryway & Living Room

Ming opening the door into the house and living room, Episode 10

The living room in Pat and Ming's house is seen in Episodes 10, 11, and 12. The house is close enough that if Pat and Ming fight in the living room with their door open, it can be heard from the house next door. The entrance to the house and the living room is a large clear sliding door with wooden frames. The door doubles as a window. It has white curtains, which are typically pulled back. This opens into the living room, with a chest of drawers, two cushioned chairs, and a large oval vanity. There is an air conditioner over the vanity. The ceiling dips in and has 3 wooden slats. The chest of drawers has four colorful statue decorations. Beside it is a large vase full of straw.(?)

This leads into the living room, which has a heavily framed painting of Paris hanging as a centerpiece. The family has a large light grey sofa with an L-shaped sectional on the left. There are about four or five pillows on the couch, all a distinct and solid red. As it is implied that Pat's family is Thai-Chinese throughout the show, the red could signify the common Chinese decoration practice of having a lot of red, for protection and warding off evil spirits. There is also a brown rectangular coffee table with a lower part that usually has a stack of books or two. In every shot the coffee table is shown, there is also a black-and-white patterned tea tray. On the far right is a red lantern. There are two narrow windows on each side behind the couch, usually with the curtain rolled up during the day, but let down to cover the window at night.

Near the family room is also a dresser with glass casing, containing a picture of Ming and his wife, as well as a couple of porcelain cows and a stuffed cow as well. This suggests that Pat and his family are Buddhist, as cows are considered a sacred animal in Buddhism.

Very little lighting is apparent in the living room aside from natural lighting, giving it a bright appearance during the day but remarkably dim in the evening.

Both the entry and the living room have light marble flooring. The living room has a large bright red rug beneath the coffee table.

It is unknown where they keep their outside shoes. Ming and his wife usually wear slippers inside the house, while Pat and Pa more typically go barefoot.

Dining Room

Pat and his family around the table for dinner, Episode 1

The dining room shows up in Episode 1 and 12. It is on the first floor of the house along with the living room, shown to have similar narrow windows, through which greenery is visible, similar to the greenery outside of the house. A four-shelf glass display cabinet with decorations, including different porcelain cows, sits inside it. Two paintings reminiscent of East Asian style art hang from scrolls on the walls. A red lamp similar to the red lamp in the living room stands upright within a walkway on the side.

In the middle of the dining room is a small stone chandelier with a larger light in the center of it. Two wall scones in a similar stone style are at the back of the dining room. Against the wall is a display table, with a photo of two people(who?) and a gold-ish paper circle fan visible.

Behind the dining room—and, notably, behind where Ming sits—is a framed white scroll with 合想 (hé xiǎng) written in black calligraphy and listed vertically. It is visible both in Episode 1 and in Episode 12. 合想 is synonymous with 如意 (Chinese), both of which are in the phrase 萬事合想 (Thai Chinese)/萬事如意 (Chinese)[1], which is a common Chinese phrase wishing prosperity and happiness in all areas of life. It is likely that the calligraphy is meant to bring prosperity and happiness to the household, and suggests that Pat's family is Thai Chinese.

The dining table is brown wood with five chairs with white cushion seats; two on either side and one at the end of the table, for Ming. There is a white table runner with red embroidery in the middle. Pat typically sits on his Ming's left, and his mother sits on Ming's right. Pa has sat at the chair both next to her mother and next to her brother. The dishware is white, with a simple floral design.

The dining room has polished wood flooring.

• Mason Studio has a pool; however, neither Pat's nor Pran's family or houses have suggested that either own a pool.
