I've had just enough time... to be captivated by rain trees and huts.
Anyone care for a cup of tea under the rain tree? Taken in the Naidee Sculptured Huts, Hua Hin
When I came
across the main yard, I involuntarily
let out a “wow!” exclamation. For there before me is the dream outdoor dining area
I will build if I had the money. But it is already built for me, to have a
leisurely cup of tea under the giant rain tree. How did the architect build
something so close to my dream without consulting me? Join me in wandering
through the grounds.
What a
wonderful place to have a quiet meal with friends.
Even the
main serving area is so tastefully done.
Don’t you
just marvel at the architecture?
As the sun
sets, the ambiance changes. A marvelous example of architecture complementing
nature.
With the
daylight still available, I went exploring. Saw this large building close to the
dining area and decided to check that out.
Like all the
other buildings, this large functional building is also tastefully designed and
constructed to blend in well with the surroundings. I wondered what it is for?
It is a living quarter for a group. It is not only well designed but also very practical and versatile. The hall is big enough to take at least a bus load.
This is such
a charming public toilet. It shows that practicality does not have to come at
the expense of style and beauty.
I wandered
to the other side of the lotus pond to take this shot. The whole complex is
very well thought out and planned. I’ve so many pictures that I will continue
this on the next post to share with those of you who could not be there.
Very nice blog post! :-)

I absolutely love their dining area, especially under the giant rain trees. What a serene place for a cup of tea and with a book in hand, it makes for a perfect evening. Oh, adds a little soft music and you can't do better. It is wonderful how they blend modern comfort, style with traditional architecture and a perfect blend with nature and the surrounding. I couldn't help but have deep admiration for the planner, designer, and constructor.

Absolutely a lovely place!
I appreciate the keen observation of a photographer who brilliantly captures this nice place and shares with others. I think the architect went through a 'mind to mind transmission' process with you and that helped him/her building your dreamy place! I hope you enjoyed your tea under rain trees!
★october blue added this photo to their favorites.
Yes ...just to sit and enjoy a cup of tea in such an inviting place would be delightful ! The freshness of the open-air setting ...the play of light and shadow under the leaves of the rain trees ....the feeling of being in an osais of peace and harmony ...all of this would be 'food for the spirit ' as well . Whoever designed this was surely your kindred spirit ...and it seems poetic justice that destiny led you there ! Thanks so much for sharing :-)
