If you have the land and you have the money, you can have any style house built in Thailand that you can dream up.
This house has a contemporary style with lots of glass to let the light in.
I think one story houses are the best in tropical climates, as the second story usually gets very hot.
Throw in a custom built in-ground swimming pool and you have the home of your dreams.
Custom in-ground pools run between 800,000 thb and 1,000,000 thb. Not cheap by Thai standards.
All in for the house and pool, (NOT including the land) is ~ US $75,000.
