Years ago I saw a villa being built in Phuket and when they were doing the ceiling they used sheets of paneling that was made from real teak veneer in 120 cm X 240 cm sheets.  It is exactly what we need for the ceiling on a conversion we are doing.  I am aware that all the big home centers have teak veneer plywood in various thicknesses but it is not the same as paneling because it has no divider lines.  The advantage of the paneling is it looks just like tongue and grove and is very light and yes much cheaper than using real teak tongue and grove for a ceiling.  We have a weight limitation so I cannot use real tongue and grove.  

Has anyone seen this style of real teak veneer paneling anywhere recently?

They do not. Teak plywood IS available in wood street, a 20mm sheet is around 5,000 baht, none of the home centres I have visited have had anything remotely similar.
