Within the main Villa is a billiards room and a table football table for eight players. The wooden players have been customised to wear the colours of two of Bangkok’s top universities.
There is an extensive library in Chom Dong Villa and also in Baan Cherngkao. We are currently in the process of cataloguing the books.
Hua Hin is 10 degrees North of the Equator and despite the worsening light pollution in recent years, it is still possible to enjoy sky watching at night.
A large collection of toys have accumulated over the past three generations, including steam engines and electric trains.
A Lambretta Li150 built in 1959 with a sidecar has recently been restored and is now in perfect working order. It was taken to Bangkok in November 2007 and restored over a year, before being driven back to Hua Hin.
