Why No Closets

[think_too_mut]

Most of those massive apartments in Singapore have no kitchen. No way you can make food better or cheaper than food wendors at the ground floor.

 

House upcountry has no kitchen - they cook outside, in a shed, spending most of their day and socializing under the roof.

 

No closets: humidity I guess. Clothes hangers on a metal frame or metal bar.

Maybe why there are less closets is that the people might be more open about their gayness.

This is something that should be considered when having a house built.

A Thai's idea of a finished house is a farang's idea of a pretty good start.

I have lived in 3 houses and 2 apartments in Thailand over the decades. Two houses and one apartment have had ample closet space. The others had none at all. Closets seem to be catching on slowly.

Thais buy some prefab, wooden, standalone closets. I have had those in every house/condo/apartment that I

have lived in over the decades.

That's upcountry Thai style. It's what I had in my house up north. It was government housing, and the government was obviously keeping costs low. (Nice two bedroom house for free though, I just paid the utilities.)

I refer to my condo, owned by a Bangkok Thai-Chinese and the condo is in Bangkok...maybe the idea has filtered to Bangkok now
