Baan Cheep Chang

The villa stands in beautifully landscaped grounds of over two rai (over 3200sqm) and comprises three main buildings. The villa itself which has four huge air conditioned bedrooms, two lounges, a large reception and seated hand painted bar area, a dining room which can seat 14 indoors comfortably, a TV/DVD room and a study with computer/fax access.

One other building is a central Thai style two bedroom house which can be used for children or as lodgings for nannies/maids (the rooms are non air conditioned but have fans) or passing guests. This building also houses the service kitchen. Another smaller building which also has two bedrooms houses the villa manager and staff.

The villa has been tastefully decorated with no expense barred by the owners and is floodlit at night along with the pool. For dining requirements you can choose the main mahogany dining table which comfortably seats 14 or the outdoor table under the veranda by the pool which can seat up to 8.

All rooms have views of the river and only the back room does not overlook the pool. There is a large balcony on the first floor which is an extension to the upper lounge and has sweeping views of the river and pool. This can be used for sunbathing or sipping cocktails in the evening.

The gardens themselves have been nicely landscaped and comprise a walkway on the banks of the river which lead on the one side to a Thai style Sala which can be used for massages or drinks overlooking the river and at the other end a small pontoon which may be used for fishing or simply contemplating the passing waters! There are also two artificial ornamental waterfalls and a lotus pond which add to the romantic effect and are also floodlit at night.

The indoor dining area is an antique mahogany dining table which seats 14 in comfort and is situated right next to the owners kitchen which is large and has all modern facilities such as microwaves, ovens, coffee making machines and toasters. All kinds of table ware and glasses are available and are of the highest quality. Barbecue facilities can also be arranged if required.

The downstairs living area comprises a large reception with a seated hand painted bar area for pre dinner drinks. The lounge downstairs is very large and can comfortably seat twelve people.

Close by is the air conditioned TV room with DVD player and cable TV with it's magnificent hand painted teak doors (cable TV gives access to most international channels with a wide range).

The upstairs lounge can come in handy when sharing the house with another family and it extends onto the first floor terrace overlooking the pool and river.

Bedrooms
Three of the bedrooms are upstairs and are particularly large. Some have hand painted ceilings but all have romantic mosquito nets and are all air conditioned. All have en suite bathrooms with bath /shower and toilet.

The downstairs bedroom is particularly romantic with a four poster bed (super king size) and hand painted ceiling and solid hand painted teak doors. The bathroom opens out to lush bamboos.

Only the master bedroom upstairs has a TV at this time and it is only for national channels. The upstairs rooms have wonderful green country views overlooking the river and pool whilst the downstairs room gives the impression of being in the jungle with a particularly spacious bathroom.

Kitchens
The service kitchen is housed in the annexe for staff or children near the car porch whilst the owners kitchen is right next to the dining area and has all the modern facilities for those wishing to do the cooking themselves. There is a nice selection of glassware and tableware for any home entertaining.
