These homes are usually designed to blend in with the tropical environment, featuring open layouts, large windows, and balconies to allow for natural light and fresh air. The interiors are often furnished with locally sourced materials, such as bamboo and rattan, giving them a rustic yet comfortable feel. Many expat homes also come with modern amenities like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and fully equipped kitchens. Some may even have a small garden or a pool.
