Clay Cottage

“This is an absolutely unique guest cottage. Clay Cottage took one year, by several volunteers at Ban Rom Sai to build. The cottage is made entirely of clay! Using a unique construction method, which is primarily used in Africa, and with support from a local architecture professor, Clay Cottage is wonderfully cool in hot summer days and cozily warm in the cool winter evenings. There are many unusual features of this cottage, such as bottles as windows and built-in clay sofa, tables and shelves. The cottage is comfortable, but is more for the adventurous guest.
