Lets Go!!!!

Thailand, in Southeast Asia, is dominated by the Chao Phraya River basin, which contains Bangkok—the capital and largest city, with some 9.7 million people. Bangkok presents a distinctive Buddhist landscape, with gold-layered spires, graceful pagodas, and giant Buddha statues.



The House
The Thai House is a traditional Thai house built with a golden teakwood structure in an architectural style that was popular around the Ayutthaya region in central Thailand some 150 years ago. The distinctive wing-shaped roof structure is inspired by the temples. It is thought that these wings are a means of the inhabitants to reach heaven.



The first floor lay-out consists of three separate houses symmetrically linked together consistent with the traditional practice of keeping extended families living and working together in the same compound to create the sense of belonging to the family.

As one stands on the first floor terrace with a view overlooking the orchard garden, the adjacent structures are no higher than the coconut palms.The tranquility and the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape is both striking and mesmerising.



Each house has two rooms which can be partitioned into two adjoining bedrooms by
an optional opening door or a family suite. Five windows which open out onto the vast lush gardens and verdant orchards provide ventilation.

The height of the ceiling also promotes the constant circulation of air thus eliminating the need for air-conditioning. To combat humidity, electric fans create the gentle breezes needed to cool off the interior of the house.
