Permaculture Supporting Members
For travelers who wish to explore, learn, and contribute during their stay, we offer an opportunity to join our community life temporarily. You’ll have the chance to meet like-minded people, learn about permaculture, and explore the local surroundings. A small contribution to expenses is requested.
Longer stays (from 3 weeks or more): A great way to deepen your experience and make a meaningful contribution to the community.
We encourage you to come with an open mind and a willingness to contribute in whatever way you can. If you’re only staying for a short time, we understand that you might not want structured guidance, and you can explore the village on your own while helping where you’re able.

Answer these questions:
No plastics or refined sugar: One of our goals is to reduce reliance on corporate products, processed foods, and single-use plastics. Here, a bar of soap is more than enough because we have a clean river. Are you okay with not bringing plastic or refined sugar into the village?
No food waste or market packaging: Are you fine with not bringing boxed food from the market, especially leaving leftovers in the fridge as a “donation”? (It isn’t one).
Natural tobacco only: Corporate cigarettes are not allowed here. Are you okay smoking only natural palm leaves and local tobacco?
Digital habits: Do you use your smartphone all day?
Expectations: Are you okay being the architect of your own experience here? Apart from a comfortable hut with a clean, dry mattress and sheets, do you have expectations of the village or other members? If so, what are they?
*Our chef is Thai, so much of our food is what he would prepare for his family. Vegan/vegetarian options are available and we use mostly organic produce from our own garden or local sources. Please let us know upon arrival if you have any special dietary requirements.
*Be aware that we are in a remote area, so it will be an adventure to get here but really pleasant if you are searching for a local immersion. Don’t worry, we can help you with any directions.
Thailand is a destination known for it and as a permaculture project, we depend on and respect that nature keeps its own life cycle. 🙂
We kindly ask those who go to the market daily not to be intrusive with snacks and sweeteners. If you wish to be kind to our guests, please refrain from offering food, medication, sugar, or processed foods, and do not bring plastic into this precious forest. We are not fanatics, but we strive for ethics as permaculture teaches us. This is our mission.
What we ask:
Participate in village life activities 3 hours in the morning for 5 days a week.
The rest of your time is free to visit the surroundings.
Try to understand what you can do for the village.
