This traditional Thai House in golden teakwood was built in 1990 and since that time the family has been receiving visitors from around the world. The situation is unique - so close to the city and yet a world apart. As you will learn, the traditional Thai style has many attributes so that it is comfortable in the tropical climate and rains. The rooms are open on two sides, providing cross-ventilation (there is no air conditioning),the verdant nature and fans keep the rooms at a comfortable temperature.
Traditional Thai houses are composed of numerous structures that are added as the family grows. This Thai House has three parts (with six independent rooms) all joined on an upper terrace - a modern bathhouse is adjoining this.
About the hotel: I believ that Thai House is very genuine, but please be prepared that the place is located very far from everything and you will wake up 4.30 every morning with noice from very loud public radio 300 meters away, this will continue for approx. 2 hours. Prepare as well with lot of mosquito oil, both for indoor and outdoor use. Food is genuine Thai and taste average. Price 400 Thb for dinner.
About the reservation service: Convenient as always
About the hotel: it was fantastic--way out in the middle of nowhere but that was ok--I did not want to leave the place--except I needed batteries for my camera and diet coke
When I got there monks were chanting in the distance--then a market started up and there was music for hours
unbelivably beautiful home--well worth the small amount of money I paid to stay there--low by American standards but the most expensive place I stayed in Thailand--food was fantastic and the staff was wonderful and always helpful--would reccomend it to anyone who wants to stay in an authentic Thai home
About the reservation service: excellent booking service--never any problem anywhere I booked

This traditional
Thai House in golden teakwood was built in 1990 and since that time
the family has been receiving visitors from around the world. The
situation is unique - so close to the city and yet a world apart.
As you will
learn, the
traditional Thai style has many attributes so that it is comfortable
in the tropical climate and rains. The rooms are open on two
sides, providing cross-ventilation (there is no air conditioning),the
verdant nature and fans keep the rooms at a comfortable temperature.
Traditional Thai houses are composed of numerous structures that
are added as the family grows. This Thai House has three parts (with
six independent rooms) all joined on an upper terrace - a modern
bathhouse is adjoining this.
Meals are served on the lower floor.
Two terraces surrounded by lush nature provide symphony for the
senses; birds singing, monks chanting, fragrant flowers, hundreds of
green plants, the occasional dog and more.
The Thai House can accommodate up to 50 people for lunch. Advance
booking is necessary, often groups travel to/from the Thai House by
boat.
Three separate houses symmetrically linked together.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 mesmerizing.
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. Visitors
consistently note the peaceful sleep they experience as they are
awakened only by bird song the next morning.
Adjacent to the sleeping quarters is a separate room which serves
as the Thai-style bath house. The bathroom is equipped with modern
western-style facilities.
On the lower floor, there is ample indoor dining hall for banquet-style seating for 30 to 50 persons, and the Thai House does receive visitors for lunch.
Breakfast and lunch are usually served on the sheltered outer
patio area. Taking in the fresh country air, most guests enjoy a
healthy appetite.
