Samui Buri Beach Resort & Spa

Traditional Thai Heritage takes a very simple and beautiful form and is well adapted for our tropical climate. The traditional Thai house is ideally adapted to its environment. There are many features common to traditional houses up and down the country. Entire living areas are often raised on stilts to protect against flooding and to allow life to flourish alongside river and flood plain areas. Roofs are normally steeply slanted to quickly carry rainwater away from the house. Many are often decorated to reflect religious and local historical influences. The use of hardwoods, bamboo and dried leaves in the construction process helps to keep the buildings dry and cool.

Over many centuries the Thai house has acquired its own unique style. The distinguishing marks are an elegantly tapering roof and various finials and decorations that differ regionally. While architectural features vary throughout the four cultural regions; Central Thailand, the North (Lanna), the North-East (Isaan), and the South, the method of raising a platform on poles is common to all parts of the country. It offers protection from dirt, hostile wildlife, thieves and most importantly from the monsoon floods which affect all of Thailand. There are regional differences in style though.

Northern houses have smaller windows because of the cooler weather. Houses in the Kingdom's Central Plains have a much larger central veranda which often serves as a communal area for many different houses. Traditional Thai houses are still the design of choice in rural areas but less so in urban areas.

Ayuthaya (Mid 14th to late 18th Centuries)
Architecture from this period can best be divided into four distinct sub-periods that span more than four centuries from 1350 to 1767.

The first sub-period (1350 to 1488)
The second sub-period (1448 to 1629)
The third sub-period (1629 to 1732)
The fourth sub-period (1732 to 1767)

The influence from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) was thought to be quite strong throughout the second sub-period as was the obvious influence of Khmer architectural style during the third sub-period. A notable surviving building from the second sub-period is the beautiful Sri Lanka-style bell shaped chedi at Wat Phra Si Sanphet. During the third period the King sent architects to carefully study the characteristics of Khmer architecture and the prang once again became very popular in Ayutthaya. Good examples are at Wat Watthanaram, the corn-on-the-cob shaped prang at Wat Ratchaburana and Wat Chumphon at Bang Pa-In.

Most of the temples throughout the era had very elaborate structures with particularly ornate chufas, door and window pediments being common. Carved Buddha images were often featured in the niches of the prang structures. The Chedi mostly had ringed spires tapering to fine points

Northern
There are a number of feature that differentiate the typical northern style house from those in other regions of the country, but the most obvious is the use of the highly visible plain or highly decorative roof kalae. The kalae is the diagonal cross feature located on the roof at each gable end of most houses.

Another, but not so obvious feature, is the size of the windows that are invariably smaller than elsewhere due to the cooler climate in the north. Another way northern houses make use of the available heat is by combining the living areas with the kitchen area in an open-plan way.

The outer walls are commonly built to slope outwards towards the roof for extra strength. Some northern houses in the more remote and rural areas even have thatched roofs.

Like in some other regions, it is common for the overall structure of the northern house to be raised on stilts or pillars.

This offers a measure of protection against flooding and also wild animals though these are increasingly rare nowadays. A front facing veranda or balcony is also a common feature.

North-East Houses

Since prehistoric times various peoples have settled in the northeast of Thailand. Over the years the area has played host to a wide range of regional architectural styles and influences. However, the style most distinctive to the region is undoubtedly that of the Khmer's which inhabited the entire northeastern region and beyond from the 7th through to the 13th centuries.

Southern Houses

The most striking feature of the Southern Thai house is the roof. It is set up with more elevations. Between these elevations there are free spaces which let the outer air circulate in the room creating a more refreshing environment.

The kalae on southern houses is just one vertical stick on the front gable of the house. A real Muslim influence!

Thai massage
TWO HOURS
The Traditional Thai massage is a technique that employs slow, strong movements and acupressure, along with some gentle stretches which energize and invigorate the body as well as realign the energy pathways. Thai massage is best enjoyed as a regular practice. It can be somewhat uncomfortable if you are not limber. Thai massage is best enjoyed if done for two hours. This gives the therapist the time to work the whole body. Some people prefer more time especially if one likes more attention on the neck & shoulders which is an area usually not addressed in a shorter Thai massage.

Relaxation oil massage
ONE AND A HALF HOURS
A smooth, strong, full-body massage done with Thai herbal oils with particular focus on the back, neck and shoulders. As its name implies, a relaxation massage is less energetic than a traditional Thai massage. Combining Swedish and soft tissue techniques it works those areas of your body which carry the most stress; the neck, shoulders, and back. Choose from one of our many Thai herbal or aroma therapy oils each with its own special healing qualities.

Head massage
ONE HOUR
Our head massage is a nurturing and totally relaxing hour of gentleness. The masseuse works on the face and head and lightly on the shoulders, using a combination of gentle pressure, stroking, and massage.

Foot massage
ONE HOUR
