Beyond the hall is a neatly kept garden of Thai bonsai plants, with a fountain as the centrepiece, another aspect of the nature of the former owner.
The garden is flanked by two low walls joining the hall in front to the cluster of main houses to the rear. This gives the impression of a single integrated complex rather than a cluster of separate houses.
After the garden, stand the five elevated teak houses connected by an open verandah. The open area beneath the houses, a typical feature of traditional Thai houses, was used as a dining and reception area for friends and students.
On a showcase behind the dining area stand two vases presented by Mao Zedong.
