Trainee Volunteers
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 (3 weeks or 1 month): 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.

*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.
