The houses further inland are also built on stilts and elevated one storey high. This method of building originated in Ayutthayu era as a precaution against floods during monsoon seasons. Both old and new houses follow traditional Thai construction. For example, porches to reduce temperatures in the main house and big eaves to provide shading and shelter.
