About this property

The Philip's villa 1 is a beautiful 2 bedroom villa and a pool.

Philip's villa is located on Koh Tao Island. This island is regularly ranked among the 10 most beautiful islands in the world.
The villa was built on a flank of the heavily wooded island
which allows a pleasant coolness during the day. All ready for Lang Khaay Bay and Aow Leuk Beach, famous for its turtles and corals.

Philip 's Villa is a bright property with 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a lounge area, a dining area and a kitchen. Ideally designed for 4 people with its double bed and 2 single beds, this little gem conveys by its breathtaking views of the
sea. These gems are its terrace and infinity pool, offering a bird's eye view of the blue horizon.

The architecture:
At first glance there does not seem to be any temples outside, with typical Thai architecture. We must look deeply in the most remote countryside and observe the ancient administrative buildings to understand the basics of Thai architecture. Like any architecture, the organization is made taking into account the climate of the available materials and the way of life. The most common points in ancient buildings are; overflowing roofs to create the maximum freshness elevation on stilts to create a
fresh & sheltered ground floor space for handicrafts,
cooking or storage of crops ...
An external staircase giving access to a floor exclusively intended for sleeping. The changing housing needs, scarcity of wood, air conditioners and modern techniques of isolation it was because of this architecture and it becomes (except for some areas) difficult to find a trace. The major part of the constructions takes model on the Javanese or European Balinese architecture. What would become of Thai architecture if it had followed a similar evolution to what is seen in other regions? It is in this exercise has attempted to meet Vladimir Dubus architect in Paris. Unpretentious but with a decidedly contemporary look he structured his thinking around the most striking elements of traditional architecture. But an outside covered staircase, an overflowing roof (with a dual port false). A semi peripheral cladding completes the idea of ​​looking for freshness and facilitates a consensual integration into the landscape. Two houses were built on the same bases, the third being totally contemporary with roof terrace so as not to harm the exceptional view of other buildings.

Construction philosophy:
It is likely that the best ecological idea for a building is to bet on its durability, then comes the energy consumed for its construction and that necessary for its use. Concrete and metal are the materials that excel in terms of ecology, water necessary for their implementation the extraction of sand and gravel as the energy necessary to the development of cement. You would think that by building concrete was necessarily all wrong, yet so we do not take account of this destination of the book or its location of local skills and transport policy issues, energy calculations become false. The presence of abundant wood-boring insect in this part of the island compromise the use of the wood culture (too attractive to insects and providing construction opportunities with excessive use of insecticide). The most noble woods are mostly from smuggling and promotes the enrichment of the Burmese military and apparatchiks gente Lao, but above all it contributes to irreversible deforestation millennium drill.
Our contribution has a more ecological approach can
 70% of 455 cubic meters of water that we used for the building comes from rainwater water the remaining 30% were imported by boat from the mainland and were pumped into a river before it empties in the sea. The materials and their implementation assays were scrupulously followed, the location of the houses was made in order not to cut valuable tree (you will find on our field presence more than three trees bicentennial) materials used for roofs enable optimum recovery of rainwater. The wood used for the frame from wood certified culture and treatments were carried out with mineral oils. The energy value of the tile is very poor but also for aesthetics because the pools are natural stone and floor tiles in cement. These remarks are not intended to convey our constructions for Eco housing, they only underline our intention to have a long term the least harmful impact possible while making advantage for our guest free comfort faults.

Landscaping:
We do not want to welcome our guests in impersonal villas and the same we want to receive them in a place, simple, original, comfortable & alive so that they feel at home. Of course, our constructions of history but we can strive to enrich and develop them so that they bring to our guest the comfort and convenience of a resort area, whether for interior design or services that we will offer your advice and your ideas will be the same feedback well come we do not just want you to come enjoy the surroundings that we offer we want you to come back. You will find here and there in the villas 1 & 3 furniture and decorative items from the Thai handicrafts. As well as some of the original ideas of Clemence Zitrone who participated in the decoration.
Staff
Koh Tao is so popular with lovers of sea snorkeling dip and relaxation can enjoy it (other than of course stay) by the Thai themselves, in fact there is not a major center Koh Tao business and all its shops RAVISENT indigenous island is very small and does not offer in the long term what we need young people. Yet we have the opportunity host a Thai couple commonly called Papa & mama who provide hosting services and maintains it may seem strange that this be addressed in the context of this presentation but it seems important to mean that this discreet presence bind to their high availability will allow you to better understand their country. Outside the 5 or 6 Thai families living on the islands is mainly due to a Burmese labor as the economy works.

Leisure
Obviously first and scuba diving, you know that nearly half of dive certifications are done here. Water quality with over 30 m visibility the rich fauna of the coral fauna makes this place one of the most popular in the world. This wealth is not directed only to adventurers depths of the vast majority of things to see is accessible with a simple mask in 2 to 3 meters of water.
For the rest you will not be missing from the Thai Boxing in yoga through massage parlors you can without any difficulties embellish you stay multiple activities.

How to come ?
From bangkok
By air up to Samui and boat to Koh Tao
More economic Bangkok to Chumphon by plane and boat to Koh Tao (time and less convenient airport change
More economic and picturesque night train to Chumphon and speedboat to Koh Tao (if you've never taken the sleeper train in Thailand is an adventure that you can try)
And the top of the bus Bangkok backpackers or train to Chumphon and night boat (ferry) has arrived in Koh Tao 4 am after 6 hours of navigation. Very economical but very tiring
(There are flights Kualalumpour Paris and Kualalumpour Samui)

When to come:
Ten years ago, the island 's visit was limited to the end - of - year and august celebrations. It is clear that for more than 5 years the island has been active all year round with peaks of attendance December to March and August. The high heat periods are less stressful on the island than anywhere else in the region and it rains (unfortunately) much less has koh Samui and Koh Pangan yet distant 50 km. Ranked third best holiday destination by Lonyplanet guide in 2014 this small corner of greenery lost at sea will keep its charm since a long time no large hotel can never (desired) transformed this island amusement park.
