Baan Samlarn manages to successfully mix
old and new influences, with a combination of traditional styles,
authentic Thai ornaments, natural materials and contemporarily designed
furniture and accessories. As you enter the villa you are greeted
with ornate wooden wall carvings and a formal square teak dining table
with leather backed chairs. The fully fitted kitchen, to the
left, has black polished surfaces and redwood units and a central
island feature with breakfast bar and water-hyacinth stools. A
flat-screen TV is also mounted on the wall. The bedroom pavilion
on the right has a colourful twin bedroom to the rear with doors
opening into the entrance garden. Wooden beds sit on polished wood
floors and are dressed with green and blue silk cushions and throws.
Modern artwork matches the colours and even the wooden lamps have
coordinated materials. A wooden TV cabinet with flat-screen TV
completes the balance of this room. The bathroom has an aquamarine
mosaic tile effect in the shower room. The front ground floor
bedroom has steps leading into the room, on the right is the dressing
area and the bathroom which has twin sinks, a shower room, a raised
decked area with free-standing bathtub and a planted inner garden with
outdoor shower. The bedroom has a wooden double bed, comfortable
furniture and brown and cream matching furnishings. There’s a
flat-screen TV and doors out onto the sea-facing terrace. Upstairs,
past the stained-glass window and chandelier, is another rear bedroom
with twin beds, flat-screen TV, decorative lamps, green and brown
accessories and balcony with views over the entrance garden. The
bathroom has a shower room with lilac mosaic tiling. To the front is
the master suite with a modern styled four-poster bed, antique ottoman
and comfortable seating. A flat-screen TV and a balcony with fantastic
views over the property and the ocean finish this chic room. The
bathroom has a feature sunken bathtub and separate shower room. The
terrace in front of the dining area has a central water feature with a
Thai sculpture sitting proudly in the centre. To the left is another
bedroom pavilion having a double bed, dressing area, bathroom with
shower, free-standing bathtub and inner garden with outdoor shower.
This bedroom has a comfortable woven sofa and a flat-screen TV. To
the front of this room is a planted area and the main living pavilion.
A wooden floor with marble around the edges, and the wooden lined
vaulted ceiling create a natural feeling in a room which is enhanced by
the choice of furniture included. Natural materials dominate with
leather, wood, bamboo and water-hyacinth making up the majority of the
furniture. The plasma TV is set into an alcove in a dark wood unit. And
cleverly selected Thai ornaments and artefacts provide a traditional
element that complements the modern artwork and furniture designs.
A
covered terrace at the end of the pavilion overlooks the manicured
garden and the sea. To the right is the sizeable blue-tiled swimming
pool with waterfall feature which leads down to a sala that contains a
bathroom, kitchen and entertainment area with an imposing dining table
and ample all-weather garden furniture. From here steps lead down to
another garden tier, an outdoor shower and steps onto the beautiful
beach. The villa is located within sight of the Raja Ferry where locals
commute from the island to the mainland. The ferry pier can also be a
decent reminder that when you live in these peaceful surroundings,
others are travelling in the busy parallel universe.
