A beautiful antique wooden house in a back alley in the Huai Khwang area of Bangkok. These kind of traditional Thai houses made from teak wood are antique - usually more than 100 years old - but they're becoming increasingly rare. While older residents slowly fade away, their descendants often sell the land to developers or build a new, modern property. After all, in the 21st century it's pretty inconvenient to live in one of the old style Thai wooden houses. There are quite a lot of these kind of traditional homes still scattered around Bangkok - some of them more grand than others - but it's always a pleasure to see them. Often they're surrounded by trees as the green foliage provides shade and keeps the property cools while temperatures outside reach more than 36C. That does mean that the wooden homes are full of insects and small creatures, so the residents often have to sleep under a net to keep out the bugs.
