The Thai House
Royal architecture in the Tropical Village
The biggest and most elegant building in the Tropical Village is our traditional Thai House, built out of wood and bamboo.
Thai houses are perfectly adapted to the Tropical climate. For example, because of frequent flooding, they are built on tall stilts!
The Thai House would be home to a large family. It consists of three smaller buildings: the sleeping quarters, the reception building, and a large house for eating. These three houses are built around a central atrium where there is usually a large, shade-giving tree.
The Tropical Islands Thai House was designed and built by Ladda Teijavnaija, a Thai architect who has also worked for the Thai Royal Family.
