Abstract
This paper investigates the thermal perceptual aspect from daily activities. The research uses the cases of small detached houses in Bangkok to examine the best manipulation of architectural elements to optimally provide thermal comfort in the Thai living context applying a multi-facet research methodology. Test result indicates that the various combinations of voids and interior configurations are responding to wind directions, which could obtain the interior air velocity up to 1.5 m/s. The effective range of summer day-time temperature for passive cooling in Bangkok is limited to only 30 - 33°c.
