sau romain, fixing the capitalContemporary Thai architecture favours fake Roman columns. (Like the Brits with their pseudo Edwardian porticos, some people love it, some find it totally kitchy - problem is, you can't choose and build your own house in the UK). Some local Thai workers refuse to build to any other design. We refused to be pressured into Doric columns at over 5,000 baht each, we used concrete drain pipes to have Tuscan pillars.

formworkFormwork for the 18 colums. It had cost us roughly 1,000 baht in wood per column. But wood for a house like this would normally be about 30,000 baht, a major consideration in a low budget project. This picture resembles some kind of mediaeval battle engine.
