Staircases in Thailand

**dirtydog** · 25-06-2005, 03:30 PM

Yet another riveting post by the dog on something that affects us all...

Now generally stairs here in thailand are made out of concrete and are as ugly as hell, this first staircase we made out of teak wood, this we charged about 150,000baht for.

now aint that a beauty

yep its real teak, each piece was sanded and laquered.

**dirtydog** · 25-06-2005, 03:34 PM

And heres one we made out of granite, each step is a single piece of granite, notice the skirting is also made out of granite, things dont get classier than that do they

ermmmm, nope i have know idea how much this one cost. but it was a lot

**dirtydog** · 25-06-2005, 03:42 PM

Ok, this one we didnt build, i personally dont like this type of flooring.

Do you ever do spiral staircases or 'open tread' ones?

**dirtydog** · 25-06-2005, 04:53 PM

it just so happens that recently we built a spiral staircase out of concrete that was open tread, obviously it wouldnt pass euro or any normal countries standards, but hell we aint in euro land, i shall take a pic of it next week, well as long as it aint collapsed

Here's one I built with my own hands, this was done with spare broken tiles, yes I realise the color scheme is something Issan Alex would choose, but hell I had the tiles spare.

as you can see from this pic we got the stainless steel bannister going in, a mere snip at 27,000baht.

**dirtydog** · 16-07-2005, 06:26 PM

now aint this a beauty....

**Marmite the Dog** · 17-07-2005, 03:07 PM

Hmm, steel & wood. I can see that I'm going to have to keep a tight rein on DD when he builds my mansion...

**Arthur Sixpence** · 17-07-2005, 08:02 PM

Here's a nice one in the missus's gaff

**dirtydog** · 17-07-2005, 08:12 PM

Arthur, you can't be serious about that ceiling, I mean it's foking awful and tacky, as for the stairs I should imagine that they are very slippery when wet, I hope she aint trying to kill you

or more importantly your dog.....

**Arthur Sixpence** · 17-07-2005, 08:19 PM

Nowt wrong with the ceiling. Actually we don't live there yet, when we visit I don't go upstairs, it's a mess and will be done out eventually. The ground floor is nice though.

**dirtydog** · 17-07-2005, 08:45 PM

I have to admit, with a name like arthur sixpence you had me fooled, i had no idea at all that you were an asian

And heres what 167,000baht looks like when it's turned into a staircase.

**Fabian** · 28-07-2005, 03:32 AM

That steel looks good but does not match that good with the wood, Marmite is right.

**dirtydog** · 20-08-2005, 12:08 PM

And finaly the long awaited spiral staircase, actually this thing was a real nightmare to actually work out how to build, ie we knew where wanted to start the steps from and also where they ended, it was the working out the inbetween bits.

**dirtydog** · 20-08-2005, 12:08 PM

**dirtydog** · 31-05-2007, 06:23 PM

Well here are some more traditional Thai stairs, although I don't think they made many spiral ones in the old days, this is at some hotel they are building on Soi Kor Pai in Pattaya.

More the old style ones here.

Dear lord! Dirty Dog has been in my house taking pictures of my stairs!

Those are snap to ours, except of the colouring maybe. Our floors are a lot darker than that.
