The Thai House homestay concept, developed by a Thai family that has been entertaining overseas guests for over 10 years, offers an attractive alternative to standard hotel accommodation.
Situated on 12 rai (4.8 acres) and surrounded by fruit trees, the custom-designed house was built in 1990 by 25 craftmens who worked on the premises for a year. The walls, stairs and rooftops feature traditional carvings which reflect the age-old artistic skills for which Thai artisans are known. Traditional Thai craftsmanship is preserved and skillfully incorporated with practical space utilization well-suited to modern living. At any one time, The Thai House accommodates up to 16 overnight guests.
Visitors to The Thai House are welcomed into a Thai home as a guest, rather than as a tourist, and are provided with an opportunity to experience life among the locals in a setting that makes you feel very much at home.

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. 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 mesmerising.
