<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>Thai Garden Design became involved in a project in Bangkok where the owners were developing both home and office buildings on a large plot in the Sukhumvit area. The Thai Garden <a title="landscapers thai" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/landscaping/team.html" target="_self">team</a> were involved in several areas, one of which was the <a title="landscaping services" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/landscaping/services.html" target="_self">design and construction</a> of a large house decking at the back of the home.</p>
<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c017eeb416f2f970d-pi"><img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010534c75d2a970c017eeb416f2f970d" style="border: 2px solid #000000;" title="composite wood deck bangkok" src="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c017eeb416f2f970d-800wi" border="0" alt="deck installation thailand" /></a></p>
<p>The deck was to run the full length of the building, and be raised to the doorway level, with several steps down and a walkway across to a pool sala built by the team (<a title="sala bangkok" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/landscaping/2013/05/tropical-garden-sala-for-bangkok-garden.html" target="_self">post here</a>). The decking chosen was a wood composite board (Shera) which the owner felt would be less maintenance over the long term. The team had to build solid supports to raise the decking and to house a pond filter nearby (also built by the team).</p>
<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c017eeb416fd2970d-pi"><img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010534c75d2a970c017eeb416fd2970d" style="border: 2px solid #000000;" title="contemporary house decking thailand" src="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c017eeb416fd2970d-800wi" border="0" alt="garden landscape designs bangkok" /></a></p>
<p>Once the supports were all installed, the team constructed the deck and painted it a deep brown, giving overall a very contemporary finish, which the owner liked, and which also matched the colours of the sala and privacy boards around the outer walls. Access panels were also constructed to give access to the filter, and a trellis with climbing plants was built to give privacy from nearby areas.</p>
<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c01901c4410b8970b-pi"><img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010534c75d2a970c01901c4410b8970b" style="border: 2px solid #000000;" title="new composite decking bangkok thailand" src="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c01901c4410b8970b-800wi" border="0" alt="thai landscaping decking" /></a></p>
(Picture above: Connecting walkways and planting also make for a nice, tropical atmosphere within the back garden area).

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>Thai Garden Design joined this build a few months before due completion date. The owners were beginning to think about the garden details after they had coordinated the main house build and details. Thai Garden Design presented a selection of options and ideas over a period of time, with <a href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/landscaping/online-garden-design.html" target="_self" title="2d garden design">designs in 2D and 3D</a>.</p>
<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c01901c0230ff970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="tropical garden designs in thailand" border="0" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010534c75d2a970c01901c0230ff970b" src="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c01901c0230ff970b-800wi" style="border: 2px solid #000000;" title="tropical garden (before)" /></a></p>
(Picture above: The sala is proposed at the back, alongside the pool) One of the ideas was to build a place to relax on top of a large concrete water tank at one of of the swimming pool. The tank itself was pretty unsightly, so to convert it into something useful as well as hide it would kill two birds with one stone!
<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c019101f83fab970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="landscape garden designs bangkok" border="0" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010534c75d2a970c019101f83fab970c" src="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c019101f83fab970c-800wi" style="border: 2px solid #000000;" title="tropical garden designs bangkok" /></a></p>
<p>(Picture above: Garden has been filled and cleaned, with the team beginning work on the sala) The design and details for the <a href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/landscaping/build-your-own-perfect-thai-sala.html" target="_self" title="thai sala">sala</a> were agreed and team began to build the sala. The main details were that it was to have a conwood deck floor (with connecting deck to the main house), steps down from the sala, and a landing deck leading up to the swimming pool, a nearby terrace and tropical garden, all electrical included, an enclosing bench on two sides, and a large fan.</p>
<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c01901c023403970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="sala builder bangkok thailand" border="0" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010534c75d2a970c01901c023403970b" src="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c01901c023403970b-800wi" style="border: 2px solid #000000;" title="sala bangkok designs" /></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/landscaping/team.html" target="_self" title="thai garden design">team</a> also designed and planted a low maintenance planting scheme around the sala, to screen it from other areas, increase privacy, and create a 'tropical Bali feel' that the owners were comfortable with.</p>
<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c019101f84257970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="landscape architect bangkok" border="0" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010534c75d2a970c019101f84257970c" src="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c019101f84257970c-800wi" style="border: 2px solid #000000;" title="thai garden designer" /></a></p>
<p>(Picture above: Al selection of ladypalms, cordylines, hedge plants, ferns and cuban cigar plants really add up to create the tropical feel of the garden) The finished sala is surrounded in tropical plants, feels private, and is a great place to relax just before going for a dip. A garden terrace with tropical garden is also just a few steps down from the main sala (see picture below). </p>
<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c01901c0235b8970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="tropical brick terrace thailand" border="0" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a010534c75d2a970c01901c0235b8970b" src="http://www.thaigardendesign.com/.a/6a010534c75d2a970c01901c0235b8970b-800wi" style="border: 2px solid #000000;" title="tropical relaxation terrace" /></a></p>
