In the near
future we will change the accommodations at the park to
mud house. Now we have completed one house as you can
see in the picture. All of the huts will change to adobe
houses in the future. The reason is mud brick hut is
very solid, sturdy, and economical to build.
A new mud brick hut at the Park The bricks are actually
made on site. Part of their composition is rice hulls.
The brick walls are covered with a sand based plaster
which acts as a sealer. The walls absorb and deflect
heat so it is cooler when the weather is hot and warmer
when it is cold. The roof has sky lights to allow more
light into the hut.
On the top floor there are two bedrooms with bathrooms
attached and a central sitting room which is outfitted
with beautiful teak furniture made by jail inmates from
trees recovered from illegal logging and the walls are
graced with amazing photos of Park elephants by Lek. On
the ground floor are two bedrooms also with bathrooms
attached. As time progresses and the need to replace
visitor and volunteer accommodations arises, more mud
brick houses will be sprouting up at the Park.
