ACCOMMODATION: The interiors, with their high pointed ceilings and numerous small windows, are superbly furnished in traditional fabrics based on exquisite old style Ayutthaya and Sukothai designs. Soft pastel bedspreads and matching shades on stoneware lamps blend with the hue of the polished teak wood. Each house has an antique dressing table and special little extras such as a silver betel set, or a bronze lotus bowl. The bathroom carries on the traditional theme, but beside the klong jar that would have been the only bathing amenity in an old house, there are full modern facilities. Cool sea breezes should be sufficient refreshing but in case it gets too hot, there is also a discreet air conditioner tucked away against the wall.

Outside on the terrace there are comfortable Thai style cushions and low tables for romantically relaxing on. The ground floor courtyard of each house is paved with mosaic tiles and each possesses its own lily pond. Around the gardens, purple, orange, yellow and red flowers create a vibrant splash of vivid colors. Adding to the picturesque old style setting, ox carts are decoratively filled with colorful plants and coconuts.
