holiday house rent bangkok taling chan residential house rental accommodation

September 16, 2008

brand new holiday 5 bedroom teak wood home in Bangkok Taling Chan

district. Suit family with children and animals as the place is safe

and has a terrace under the elevated on stilts house. Goes cheap, even

short let - as I can't go on holidays to Bangkok as often as I use to

go. At the moment stays there my daughter with her children, but she

can move to my sister in law house just the next door. A much better

option of staying in Bangkok than the town centre, with it's noise,

pollution, traffic jams and crowds of tourists. In a Taling Chan

home-stay you will immerse yourself in a traditional lifestyle and

learn a little bit about Thai culture and customs. Walks through the

fruit orchards and flower groves make a very challenging experience.

You can feel here like living in the traditional thai willage - yet 5

minutes walk is 7/11 shop, cash machine and a daily street market.

There is nothing comparable to it in the whole of Thailand - a dream

student home stay or a holiday accommodation.

Location of object

The exact address to my home: 172/9 moo 11 Kanchanapisek

Salathammasop Thawi Wattana 10160 Bangkok (it's on the west border of

Taling Chan district with a newly formed Thawi Wattana, and a few

hundred yards south of amphoe Bank Kruai, already in Nonthaburi

province). The location is here 1:5000 - you might see larger ones if

you don't recognise this area. The home is 80 meters south of the red

circle on the first map - by the canal. If you are coming by taxi just

stop immediately after the klong Bang Tal, go down over a small wooden

steps to the canal and walk along the concrete path by the canal 150

metres - almost to the end of this path. If you are coming by car pass

the canal and park on soi Muban Chuangchun Park Villa - you will have

to walk back about 150 metres.

travel----- The best months to travel through Thailand are December

and January. Second best are November and February. These months

constitute the 'cold' seasons. In Bangkok temperatures are still as

high as during a good West-European summer though. At night, it cools

off a bit but temperatures will rarely drop below 20 degrees Celsius,

even at night.---------- From roughly March till May, Thailand

experiences the hot season, when temperatures can soar into the 40

degrees range. Not the best time of year to go walking about cities or

countryside.---------- From roughly May till October, we have the

rainy season. It is quite unpredictable when it is going to rain

though, and there are sometimes episodes of up to two months during

this period, when there is no rain fall. Other years, rain falls more

consistently almost every week. Traditionally rain falls during the

late afternoon. It seldom lasts more than a few hours. ----------

Flooding of areas of Bangkok and in the provinces occurs, more at the

end of the rainy season in Bangkok (the drains are more clogged by

then).---------- Temperatures tend to be high, but cool off somewhat

each time it has rained. Contact data

There is something subtly exotic about wood. No other substance seems to mature in the same way, changing it's texture and smell in a second life that defies life's normal rhythm.

The traditional Thai teak house represent a style of living that is almost absent from Bangkok these days - with citywide modernisation, it is hard to find older houses that are still in use.

Villages such as Lampang in the North, featuring predominantly teak houses, are becoming more and more rare as people switch to modern building materials.

Built around the concept of simplicity, Thai stilt houses were the functional solution to a hot climate in the days before air-conditioning.

The gap between the floor and ground enables a cool breeze to to naturally ventilate the entire house, and the open window style still in practice today further aids this process.

Building with native teakwood gave the houses a natural beauty that is still imitated in today's architecture (think of the sweeping, upturned eaves of many Thai roofs.)

Prized for it's durability and attractive finish, teak has been logged almost to the point of extinction, and the magnificent trees (sometimes reaching 50m in height) are today rarely found outside dedicated plantations.
