Is retirement retirement home in Thailand two floor or single floor?
This is probably the most important factor that determines the cost and time needed to build your house in Thailand. Until recently, Thai houses were traditionally designed using houses standing up from the ground of wooden or concrete pillars. Thailand refers to them. A typical Thai house is constructed, for example, with twelve pillars arranged in a 3 × 4 matrix, which is called the "12 pillar house".
The home of Pak Chong, who is about to retire in Thailand, is "16 post offices" (4 to 4 pillars), and the upper floor including the living space is 3 meters above the ground. This is much more difficult and expensive to build than a single barber's building with all the accommodations on the ground floor.
The difference between a two-story house in Thailand and a house on the west side is as follows.
Western homes usually have dwellings in the bedroom on the first and second floors.
In Thai house, there is a living room and a bedroom on the second floor. If there is a room on the ground floor, it will probably be a utility area.
The tradition of living accommodation that has been enhanced in Thai houses has been around for centuries and there are two reasons why this tradition has evolved.
1) The room above the ground floor was safer than roaming animals like lions and tigers that were prevalent at the time.
2) Many of Thailand are flat and prone to flooding. The house which raised the corpse (pillar) is safe from the flood.
My husband unfortunately wanted a post office. I praised it, but I was satisfied with the same downstairs house. My husband is paying for his decision to have a traditional Thai mailman in terms of additional costs and time spent on construction.
Therefore, please be careful if you have to actually have a post office, or if you can resign yourself to a one-storey building that is inexpensive and quick to construct.
Bathroom with bathtub or simple shower room
This is another option to shape the price and time to build your retiree's home, but it is Thai compared to the Western theme.
Traditional style and typical Thai home is not usually designed with bathtub, as it is a Western style bathroom standard. In fact, my husband, the Englishman did not have a bathtub, so I did not want to have a bathtub. He likes to take a shower. For this reason, a straight shower room is what he wanted.
Funny for Thai people, I want to relax in hot tub and bath tub filled with aromatic bath salts or bubble bath. As a result, my husband agreed to set up a bath. When I saw having a walk-in shower room, I have two bathrooms. Bath, toilet, washbasin, shower room only. But again, the choice is the result of asking "Who is the house?"
Type of kitchen - Thai style or avant-garde Western style kitchen
The style of the kitchen you care about is another topic that will always have a major impact on the cost of the house. Normally preparation of cooking Thai cuisine is done at the floor level. It means that the "floor level" is sitting on the floor regardless of whether it is the first floor level or the second floor level. In the UK house there is a Western standard kitchen, but on the floor to hit cooking materials.
In addition, Thai food is usually cooked by a single gas ring (or charcoal), sometimes with two heat sources, but no more.
According to the cooking and cooking approach of this dish, the Thai kitchens are historically very easy to understand and have little long worktops, ovens, grills, integrated sinks, integrated cupboards, furniture and much more.
In fact, the kitchen in Thailand's new kitchen is not built as a sealed room often in the Thai kitchen. Instead, it has a covered minimal outer wall and a simple countertop.
When building a Thai-style house, you do not need to pay a western-style kitchen with all the luxurious furniture expected in the modern Western home.
In Thailand, refrigerators are necessary as Westerners, but innumerable Thai kitchens do not include refrigerators, freezers, clothes and dishwashers.
In Thailand's retirement house, there are Western style kitchens with long granite counter tops, dual sinks, refrigerators and freezers. However, installation of cupboards, drawers and washing machines is not the current method, but it can be offered later.
Regardless of air conditioner
Whether you choose whether air conditioning will have a major impact on the construction of your home if you are properly designed.
A Thai house designed properly for air conditioning is considered to be different from a house designed to utilize natural air flow instead of air conditioning.
How the house built in Thailand was designed for natural ventilation (without comfort and cooling)
In a Thai house without air conditioning, you rely on natural air flow that blows through the room to dissipate heat. Our retirement residence in Pak Chong, Thailand, is designed in this way.
You need lots of options for natural wind to flow through the room. The house must be made of a light material that does not absorb or re-emit heat. In our house there is an outer wall made from wooden planks that can blow the wind.
The opening for flowing the natural air draft is characterized by open windows and doors, air flow louvers, and an open room design.
They prevent wind blowing and windows concentrate the sun's light like a greenhouse so windows with windowpanes must be avoided.
Just by looking at the traditional Central Plains Thai houses built 100 years ago, we need to understand how to design naturally cold Thai houses.
Features of houses designed for air conditioning
The air conditioner functions like a refrigerator, the house needs to be constructed like a refrigerator and make the best use of air conditioning. This means to prevent natural airflow - it must be designed as a very well sealed building and keep the doors and windows tightly closed - if natural light must be present Reduce heat from window glass, sun's rays. Double glazing is also useful.
It is clear that the house designed for air conditioning will be more expensive than the house designed for natural ventilation.
