Thai Lanna have been going for at least 10 years. I don't know any who have used them. We have a half wooden, upstairs front bedroom and lounge with alot of outside space. Open underneath which keeps it cool. Superblok for the rear , upstairs and downstairs. Bathrooms, guest bedrooms dining room and kitchen. Used al ocal builder in lower Buriram of which there are quite a few. Wood from an old house was used which kept the cost down. Teak is expensive but other hard woods are fine. There is a long established site, cool thai house, which is probably the best place to look and ask.

Thanks for the info. The type of house you have is also one of the options I am looking for. But as my primary language is not English, the meaning of 'superblock' is not clear to my, I fear. Can you enlightening me [emoji6] [emoji6] [emoji6]? Thanks

Superblock or Q Con. trade names which you can google, are basically concrete blocks which have had 1% Aluminium paste added in the formation process. It was a German invention from the 1930s. The result is basically a very strong light block with tremendous insulating properties both in terms of heat and noise. Very commonly used in construction in Thailand because of this and easy availability. You have to use a special paste to build with them. More expensive than bricks but because of their size construction is quicker. 

 

Plenty of references on this site and the one I mentioned plus other Thai forums.

 

 

I Googled it, but came across explorations about superblock in urbanism. If it is keeping heat AND noise out, this is definitely worth looking at. Once again, thanks

Looks similar like YTONG bricks we use over here (Belgium, Europe)

 It is called by many trade, or manufacturer names but the correct name is Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC)
