Little House on Thale Luang

The Little House on Thale Luang (12 June, 2005)


The Little House on Thale Luang (GPS: 7.76101, 100.18048) is a rustic shed built on the surface of Thale Luang, one of the components of Great Songkhla Lake. It is located in close proximity to Thanon Chaloem Phra Kiat 80 Phansa, the elevated highway and bridge that separates Thale Luang from Thale Noi. Technically, the hut is on Thale Luang, but is reached from Thale Noi.

At time of writing, I am still speculating over the purpose of this little house. Some websites describe it as a shed used by farmers. Another website speculate that it could be the timber palace of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the Crown Princess of Thailand (https://www.thephuketnews.com/day-dawns-on-thale-noi-24455.php).

The Little House on the Thale Luang is very photogenic, particularly when seen at dusk. To take these shots, I used a long exposure to blur up the surface of the lake, so that it looks like a smooth sheet.

Getting there

The Little House on the Lake is visible from the lay-by along Thanon Chaloem Phra Kiat 80 Phansa. It would be difficult to reach the house itself on foot, unless it is low tide. Otherwise you can ask your boatman to take you right up to it.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
