That front wall will get late afternoon sun on the longest days in May/june, as the Or Bor Tor told us we had to align the house with the side road to keep a minimum 2m distance. That meant turning it about 10 degrees unfortunately, but some Golden Cane palms and Heliconias will keep the sun off that wall. We have a couple of those big wooden bed/table things, I'm thinking of putting some arms and a backrest on one, give it a nice stain/varnish, add some outdoor cushions and turn it into a day bed under the fan that is going there...very colonial ! No punkah wallah though unfortunately.
