Rugs would be a compromise. Easy to roll up for cleaning the floors when necessary. Wide choice of colours, patterns and price (in BKK not sure about HH), adds a touch of class.

Never seen them or heard of anyone having them unless they want to breed bugs, fleas and cockroaches. Inform her of this and maybe she will go off the idea !

All of the above and of course they are also dust traps, regardless of how good a vacuum cleaner is used on them. The other advantage of tiled or wooden floors is that in the hot season they are much cooler. I think the rugs idea is the way to go but there aren't that many places selling them in Hua Hin - Index and Home Pro have some but the choice is quite limited.

Carpet shop on 36/2 they fit one in our office - not the greatest choice ever made!

Index and HomePro have small selections ste. I tried pretty intensive Â½ year ago, but didn't find any better. I think it's Bangkok, if you want a decent selection.

I have carpeting in an older rented condo. It's pretty basic with no pad .. and has stains all over it .. especially near the fridge. I can't for the life of me understand why someone would want carpeting at the beach.

Add allergies to all the other reasons for not liking carpets.

I wonder if there is even a decent carpet cleaning company in HH/CA.

I've yet to go into an office that has been carpeted for more than a couple of years that didn't look terrible because of the stains.

And finally, my computer chair won't roll for ^&%$# on carpeting.

You might compromise .. carpeting in the bedroom and granite/marble/tile/wood elsewhere .. depends on how "whipped" you are. (running and ducking and looking for a place to hide)

Go for area rugs made from natural fibres like sisal or coir.
