It used to be a wooden stilt house, but it was damaged and could not sustain the lives of three generations of his family. After consulting, his family decided to build a new stilt house with a concrete frame. Photo: Ba Hau |

| People now understand that in the past, when there was a lot of wood in the forest, they built wooden houses. Now that there is no more wood, they have switched to building stilt houses with concrete pillars. It is simpler and they are not afraid of termites. They can build it once and live there for life.

According to the people, to build a wooden stilt house with 8-14 pillars, it costs from 150-300 million VND in labor and materials, while if you build a stilt house with concrete pillars and beams, it only costs about 50-100 million VND. Another good thing is thatConcrete pillar houses do not affect the worshiping customs or daily activities of Thai people.Photo: Ba Hau |
