Volunteers should be ready to adapt to the Thai, local way of life, and willing to create relationships with volunteers’ friends, hosts and local people. Some difficult points could be the language and culture barrier, mosquitoes and insects, eating rice at every meal, missing feedback, changing plans often. Volunteers should be able to stay in a remote environment, without public transport. Volunteers should be able to take responsibility for themselves and the team by taking care of their health and security and be fully involved in the daily tasks

Put your hands and feet in the mud, to produce organic rice and to go on with this friendly house built to welcome volunteers and social/community activities at Mr Kong rice field place for agrotourism and sufficiency lifestyle.

HISTORY and REASONS OF THE PLACEMENT

Mr. Kong is a hardworking, creative and organic original farmer and has been back home working for a few years on his big family land on rice fields and sugar palm trees. Recently, he added a melon farm and a nice restaurant with his wife. A friend has also opened a coffee shop in front of the road. He has developed a kind of local friendly agrotourism and is an example of a sufficiency lifestyle. He has a big network of artist friends and this is how we learn to know him. P Tik, our musician and activist friend, indeed invited us to support the wish of Mr. Kong to take increasing responsibility in the society’s well-being by inviting children and local youth as well as outsider volunteers to his farm.
