Picture this: a hammock strung between two palms, waves gently lapping at the sand, the scent of lemongrass in the air, and your only worry being whether to order a mango smoothie or a coconut shake next. Welcome to Thailand’s little slice of tropical heaven—Koh Samui.

In the heart of Bangkok, just a short walk from the chaos of Siam’s mega malls and BTS stations, there’s a hidden garden where time seems to pause. Here, surrounded by banana trees, spirit houses, and koi-filled ponds, sits a traditional Thai teakwood home that feels like it’s watching the modern city through antique wooden windows.
