The architectural challenges of designing a villa in Thailand are very different to those presented by building in North America or Europe. Thailand is one of the most visited countries in the world, and most of the visitors are tourists looking for luxury accommodation in a bungalow, hotel room or private villa.
Other than the bedroom the room that makes the biggest impression is the bathroom. People want to be pampered when on holiday and the place where they can pamper themselves the best is the bathroom. A long soak in a bath with aroma therapy, subdued lighting, perhaps a sea view while lying a Jacuzzi are all images that conjure up the idea of luxury accommodation.
For those having a beach holiday in Thailand water is a key aspect of the vacation. People will spend the day in their swimming costume lying around the pool or beach and taking a dip to cool off in the swimming pool or sea. The exposure to the sun and becoming covered in salt water makes it important for people that they can clean properly at night and moisturize the skin afterwards. This makes the bathroom very important.

Thus the key to designing an attractive villa in Thailand is to put some thought into the design of the bathroom. Using marble, mosaic tiles, bamboo blinds and allowing views of the sunset are all integral to good bathroom design in Thailand.
Little thought is paid in Thailand to sustainable design. This is a mistake in a country where temperatures rise to the 40s. Water shortages occur every year in parts of Thailand. It is therefore a good idea to incorporate low flow showers and a grey water recycling system into the design of a bathroom in Thailand.
It is possible with flair and attention to detail to create a luxury bathroom in Thailand that is both environmentally friendly and luxurious.
