Thai beach bungalow DIY replica in the U.K..

Built this Thai beach bungalow similar to the one i stayed in on Samui 13 years ago.

It was 100 baht a night back then.

It's used as a general storage come summerhouse/kids play house.

Tools/ingredients - one wonky spirit level

- big bag of nails

- claw hammer

- wood saw

- 5 lts of wood stain

- 3 rolls of 5m felt

- bag of cement for the stilts foundations

- pile of timber from the local DIY superstore

-4 x sheets of perspex(child friendly windows)

- one lock and latch to keep the terrors in

- one packet of plasters and packet of paracetamol

Hey presto, we now have a reminder of our beach holidays in Thailand..

I think the local pigeons will soon be staking a claim to it. :)

Looks a bit impractical mate with those tiny doors

Nice job.
Did you receive a zoning / building permit prior to construction ?

I like it

No permission needed as it's just under 3 metres high.

All it needs now is a fan, mossie net and mattress:)

A bonny wee hok it is!

The dog kennel is too big for a poodle , :)

Yes...... Similar :)

:)

Nice inviting colour as well.....

Had to opt for the roof felt instead of bamboo due to the English winter.
However, i might put some on top for show.

Make it look more realistic!

Well spotted Dapper, that chimney needs to go...not Thai stylee.

It's just a bit a fun for the garden and a totally impractical waste of money and time, but fook it.

Rent it out to sex tourists.

Ccc, the feckin door doesn't fit.
the rats have a way in.
needs a dog.

... and to be on a beach on the other side of the planet.

But yes, nice little project there Chitmeister.

Perhaps that fireplace thing should be in the center of it . Pipe it out the roof and you have a four seasons resort. Snow shoes,bear skin rug,dribble a little water on the lava rocks and its a steam room.
For all we know it opens up to a cold war bunker complete with wine gallerie and hot toddies sporting the latest in under earth wear.
Dooms day prepers home sweet home.
I would call it " Da Bunker".:yerman:

Gave the bungalow a makeover today, constructed a crazy paving patio in the evening suntrap at the side.

Just need a spot of rain to seal the deal now.

Planted a wall of bamboo around the perimeter to give it an authentic Asian vibe:)

End of an era!

12 years this ornament of a Thai beach bungalow has been wasting space at the end of our garden.

This weekend the decision was taken to replace the ornament and general storage of crap/carboot stock/knackered tvs/more crap space with something more practical, a mancave.

The destruction didn't take long, 6 weeks to construct and a day to wreck and burn...

The tools of the trade..

Burn baby burn...

Backyard Underground Bunker Tour/Update 5 years on - YouTube

That video has been watched, but digging all that clay out with a single shovel is a mancave too far for me.
