Factors to consider when choosing tables and chairs

1. Weather-resistant materials
Outdoor furniture is constantly exposed to sun, rain, wind and humidity, especially in Thailand with its hot and humid climate and long rainy season. Therefore, choosing the right materials is very important:
• Teak: A natural material that is resistant to moisture and insects, ideal for Thailand's hot and humid climate, it provides a warm and luxurious look.
• Rustproof coated steel: Strong and modern, resistant to rain and high humidity, suitable for outdoor areas that require durability.
• High quality plastic (HDPE): Resistant to sunlight and rain, lightweight and easy to clean, ideal for homes with small children.
• Synthetic rattan: Gives a natural feel and is easier to maintain than real rattan, which can be damaged by moisture.
• Aluminum: A material that does not rust, is lightweight, and can withstand the weather conditions in Thailand well, especially during the rainy season.
2. Size and use
• Small spaces: Choose space-saving furniture, such as a compact round table or a foldable table and chairs.
• Large area: Use a long rectangular table with several chairs, suitable for parties or large families.
• Multi-functionality: Furniture that can be folded or adjusted, such as a table that can be expanded when more guests arrive.
3. Design and beauty
• Natural look:
o Choose wooden furniture with natural textures and decorate with cushions or throw pillows in earth tones such as cream, light brown, or olive green.
o Enhance with potted plants or a vase of fresh flowers to add a natural and refreshing feel.
• Modern style:
o Use metal or plastic materials with a simple and elegant design, with monochrome tones such as white, gray, and black.
o Add a touch of playfulness with a modern table lamp or geometric decorative items.
• Tropical style:
o Choose rattan or synthetic rattan furniture that gives a warm feeling and fits in with the resort atmosphere.
o Add a pop of color with vibrant leaf or floral patterned cushions, such as bright green, pink, or yellow.
• Bohemian style:
o Use wooden or metal furniture with colorful printed patterned seat cushions.
o Decorated with tribal pattern outdoor rugs and hanging lamps with woven patterns.
