Traditional Thai Teak Wood House To Rent Bangkok Taling Chan Thonburi Home

[londonthai]

My brother in law, thai with no access to internet, wants to rent out a three bedroom teak wood house in Bangkok Taling Chan district, on the border with district Thawi Wattana and Nonthaburi. It has just been finished and nobody is living there.

His house is at this stage inhabitable - he is going to complete it off within the next few months (ceilings in the rooms, another bathroom, kitchen, a fence around the property, water tank for hot water outside the house, a small pond, plants, put some home furniture).

As his house is not finished yet he is opened for suggestions how to organise it depending who is going to live there.

First of all if the location is right for you - the best if you visit, he will show you around anytime you are in the area - if needed he can speed off the works there.

He is looking for some 10 000 baht per month - depending what standard you want.

It's by Thanon Wongwan Rob Nok (Western Outer Ring Road) and by the Klong Bang Tal - 5 minutes drive to the Southern Bus Terminal (towards Kanchanaburi, Cha Am, Hua Hin, Phuket, Krabi and Malaysia) on Thonburi & 15 minutes to Chao Phraya River, the Old King's Palace & the Wat Pho. There is also a frequent bus to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

10 - 15 minutes drive from Khaosan Rd. Two air con buses go there from Khaosan Rd - but can take up to 30 minutes. Also fast mini buses for 10 baht depart from the Central department store on Phra Pinklao towards Supanburi, just past the Southern Bus Terminal.

There are as well 2 raiways stations close by: Chimplee and Chumtang Talingchan connecting to Bangkok Noi/Thonburi and Hualampong stations.

You can feel here like living in the traditional thai village - yet 5 minutes walk is 7/11 shop, cash machine and a daily street market. A short ride there is a famous traditional thai floating market in Taling Chan by the Chakphra Canal.

Pictures on request.

Around are traditional houses with orchards, gardens, peace and clean air.

Suit family with children and animals as the place is safe and has a terrace under the elevated on stilts house.

A much better option of staying in Bangkok than the town centre, with it's noise, pollution, traffic jams and crowds of tourists. In a Taling Chan home-stay you will immerse yourself in a traditional lifestyle and learn a little bit about Thai culture and customs. Walks through the fruit orchards and flower groves make a very challenging experience.

There are several nice home stays in that area - old thai teak wood houses on stilts just overlooking slowly moving canals. You are in the middle of verdant and vast, lush gardens.

There is nothing comparable to it in the whole of Thailand - a dream student home stay or a holiday accommodation.

pictures are ready - just send me a PM with you email address (I can't post my email ad on the boards). I will forward to you a mobile number to my nephew who will show you around the house or meet you on the street.

the exact address for that place is

172/9 moo 11 Kanchapesak

Salathammasop

Thawi Wattana 10160

Bangkok

(it's exactly on the west border of Taling Chan district with a newly formed Thawi Wattana, and a few hundred yards south of amphoe Bank Kruai, already in Nonthaburi province).

The location is here - in order of scale 1:5000 to 1:100 000 - you might see larger ones if you don't recognise this area. The home is 80 meters south of the red circle on the first map - by the canal.

If you are coming by taxi just stop immediately after the klong Bang Tal, go down over a small wooden steps to the canal and walk along the concrete path by the canal 150 metres - almost to the end of this path. If you are coming by car pass the canal and park on soi Muban Chuangchun Park Villa - you will have to walk back about 150 metres.
