Stay in Thailand’s Unique Earthen Home: A Smurf’s Dream Vacation

Stay in Thailand’s Unique Earthen Home: A Smurf’s Dream Vacation

Chiang Mai district in Thailand is famously known to tourists for various lovely things it has to offer.

It’s a center of Thai handicrafts. Here you can buy handmade objects made of silver, wood, various pottery, umbrellas, etc.

It’s also the home of the Phu Ping Palace, which is a summer home of the Thai royal family.

Overall Thailand is known for its many natural wonders, and if this side of the country interests you, then consider staying at a genuine clay house listed on Airbnb.

1. Out of a Storybook Design

If you go to read the home’s description, you’ll get an immediate sense of the host’s immense love for natural life.

It translates into the design of these heavenly vacation homes.

They look like a product of a child’s imagination and you could experience them for a ridiculously small price per night.

The home has had quite a few guests and boasts a staggering grade of 4.87.

Each individual house is quite small, being able to house two adult guests, but larger groups can always reserve more houses.

2. Earthen Home For Nature Lovers

Each house is built from clay as the host’s aim was to allow themselves and their guests to live in complete harmony with nature.

Plus, we mustn’t forget the other benefits of clay as a construction material.

It makes for an eco-friendly, energy-efficient house. Clay is very breathable and has great insulation, both of which are important for our health.

3. Prioritizing the Natural Life

In their description, the host Thawatchai is very candid as he warns potential guests that, being a natural resort, the Earthen Home is surrounded by insects, bugs, lizards, and even cats.

The whole place was designed to allow the guest to become one with nature, hence all of these little creatures are a given.

There’s no reception as the Earthen Home isn’t a hotel, so you may not reach the host at all times, but he tries his best to be available as much as possible.

4. Smurf City Layout

The garden is fully fenced, but it is shared among the guests of the resort.

I don’t know about you, but I find that detail quite charming. The home allows you to socialize, experience natural life, and live simply and naturally.

The overall aesthetic supports this notion as the entire place is designed to look like a Smurf village where all guests are a part of the small community.

5. Small Bedroom

As previously mentioned, each individual home houses two adult guests and the host counts children over three as guests too, given that they need a bed of their own.

The interior is confined, hence the number of guests per house is limited to ensure a comfortable stay.

6. Kitchen

The kitchen is just as small and contains only the basics. There’s a mini fridge and a microwave, so the food choices are limited.

However, the resort includes a restaurant run by the same hosts, and there are various bars and restaurants nearby.

7. Living Quarters

The living quarters offer a view of the garden, there’s a cooling system and stable Wifi.

Children’s toys are available, though there’s not much indoor entertainment available unless you bring your own.

After all, the resort is meant for those who wish to connect to and spend time in nature.

Each house includes a bathroom, of course. Though the bathrooms are also quite small, they include all the immediate essentials.

8. Other Amenities

The parking is included in the stay, and for those who wish to stay a while, there’s also a paid washer available.

The garden includes a barbecue grill and as already mentioned, the guests are free to use nearby resort facilities.
