Sala Pictures

[TexasRanger]

Does anyone here have a Sala (ศาลา) in their garden? If so could you show some pics? We plan to build one with concrete base and columns.

A couple of variations of a theme.

These include toilet, shower, sink in one room, and a storage area in the other room (for the BBQ, CD player and all the Pool toys!!), which could easily be converted to a maids/guests quarters if needed. Both approx 10m x 6m.

Those are very nice, and give me more food for thought as I plan to build a sala and a separate workout/storage building. Thanks.

Just a very basic structure over the pond.

Boy you have a nice house.

You mentioned in another thread that you raise fish in this pond. Is this a commercial venture or just a hobby?

I'm just a hobbyist. I like watching the different kinds of fish fighting over the food pellets I cast upon the water. That and watching our golden retriever swim in their midst. Sunsets are also nice on the waters edge, as the sky is reflected on the surface.

A sister and aunt do try their hand at catching and eating them sometimes but my little pets are not easy or willing target. The water is too deep to make it child's play, and I kind of like it that way.

Thanks for the compliment on the house. My wife designed most of it and we quite enjoy living in it.

Pardon my ignorance, but just what is a "sala"? Is it basically a Thai "gazebo," i.e. a free-standing covered structure open on the sides?

I guess wikipedia calls it an open pavilion, but yes you have the general idea with a gazebo. That structure in my pond would be a very basic, sala type structure but they can take many different forms from plain to very ornate and religious.

There is an example posted by NomadTad under Evaluate My Photo, Garden View to the Sala and Pond.

These are charming. Like 27.000 baht

Ummm . . . those are grand houses? Not salas?

Very nice!

I often use Google Images search for ideas.

Here are the Thai Sala results.

This serves the purpose. My wife scrounged most of the material and the total cost was about 2,000 baht.

Around here the villagers would call that a Hang or perhaps a Gratop.

My wife calls it her hut. She has one on each mini farm. This one is the deluxe duplex unit. The other one is a single level.

Here are a few of our local variety.
