Thailand Photos: Ban Rai - Uthai Thani - Karen village home stay: 03 - 05 Dec 2005

An old house in Ban Chao Wat was built almost nail-free. The house is a large one compared to others in the same village. Below is a sketch and views of the house I made during my home stay. The owner couple was not present so I did not go inside the house. Entire house was made of hand-cut wood and bamboo, and thatch. Only the central walkway was roofed by corrugated plates - aparently an recent work.


The views A to G are shown below. The first two pictures show the front views of the house.
