Description

We are an NGO specialized in natural building. The organization has been set up in 2007 and its aim is to spread the knowledge on natural building and taking care of the environment by living in a self-sustainable and ecological way.

Ever since people have been building houses with adobe (clay), this technique has proven to be cheap, environmental friendly, ecological and social. It is, however, not a fast way of building. So, building a clay house is really suitable to organize in a project with a small group of motivated and interested people.
It is a perfect way to use all your skills, your body and your creativity to create a building of natural material.

We strongly believes in the environmental and social benefits of building houses this way. We really want to promote this way of building and the use of environmental sources in the area where people live.

We are building a Natural Building Educational Center, a center where we will organize workshops, meetings, educational projects, summer camps and social events for the people and students of Paksong area. A small park/flower garden, a vegetable garden and pavilions will surround the Natural Building Educational Center
This center will have a number of facilities, such as:
 Small clay houses for visitors to stay
 A library
 A big meeting area
 Toilets and showers
 A dormitory
 Water supply-units
 A dining area
 A kitchen
 and so on

There will be meetings and information sessions on ideas, techniques and methods of construction, gardening during your visit.

Your help in realizing the dream of the center will certainly enrich your experience as well as let you see the wonderful and joyful activities that the area has to offer.
a Thai style house where it is a shared room maximum 4 people.

Cet hôte fait payer des frais.
en savoir plus

Why does workaway.info allow listings of hosts who charge money?

In  third world countries (Where most hosts are involved in charity work or community development) some of our hosts may ask for a small donation to help the host family or charity (often less then 5 dollars per day) Workaway will allows this listing when the donation goes directly to the family or charity and is just to cover the cost of the volunteers stay.  (This this will be clearly marked on the host listing).
We will strictly not allow listings posted by agents or “middle men” or projects who we feel are looking to profit from a volunteers stay.
 

 

 

We ask a participation fee of 2500 THB per week ( 8 euros per day) to host you and provide you with three good meals a day at the Eco-lodge,
