  Description

  We are a family run SUP and Kayak shop located in paradise, Krabi Thailand! We offer rental boards, beginner lessons, and an incredible night tour. We are focused on teamwork amongst our crew and creating once in a lifetime experiences for our clients.
  We have two locations, Railay (world-famous beaches and climbing and tourist destination) and Klong Muang (with a slow Thai lifestyle). At this time we are only hosting work-awayers at our Klong Muang location.
  This is a unique opportunity to live like a local and a friend in this very special location.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  This is a rare opportunity to live like a local in Railay and Ao Nang. You'll have access to plenty of Stand Up Paddleboarding and kayaking. You'll learn a lot from our guides who are boatmen, fishermen, and all-around "jungle guys" about the sea and their special philosophies on life.
  
  We work hard and are dedicated to growing our business, but we have a great job, with office views of the cliffs, and plenty of time out on the water.
  
  You'll have SUP access during the day, the chance to join our epic night tour, free boat rides to Railay (at certain times), and as much paradise as you can handle!!

  Accommodation

  We have a very unique location to share with you!
  
  The accommodation is very basic, you may be assigned a bamboo bungalow or a tent. Basic shared bathrooms and basic cooking facilities. If traveling alone you may have a tent-mate with another workawayer (the tents are HUGE) It is essentially camping and living with nature.
  
  Our land is INCREDIBLE (at least we think so)! We are right on the beach with a beautiful peninsula to walk during low tide. Paddleboards and kayaks are available to explore the mangrove forest down the river and the sea in front of our property.
  You will be staying with staff members (we have a really lovely team) and other workawayers. We are away from the main touristic areas, but they can be reached by taxi or motorbike.
  
  If you are comfortable driving a motorbike they are available locally for monthly rentals for about $100usd, if you like to get out and explore on your own (which we highly recomend). Otherwise, it is about a 15-minute walk to the main road where there are some local shops. Food delivery and Grab taxi service are becoming more and more available in our area as well.
  
  There will be days and times scheduled if you like to ride our boat to Railay (one of the most beautiful places on earth!) on your free days (or if we set up a project to work on for our Railay location).
  
  We do have wifi, but if you are a digital nomad I'm not sure it will be fast enough/powerful enough, though there are many Cafes and places nearby to work with fast and reliable service. The best would be to get a Thai SIM card that you can use as a hotspot.
  
  Everyone must work together to maintain the space and atmosphere to be respectful of everyone living here :)
  
  NO SMOKING! NO DRUGS! No pork either, but all caps seemed a bit much (NO PORK!)
  
  *If you are not comfortable with a camping type of accommodation, this unfortunately will not be well suited for you. There is a road to take you up to the main road with some local shops/restaurants/beach area, it would be about 15-minute walk to 7-11 and maybe 45 minute to one-hour walk to the touristy beach area. For some people that may feel isolating, but you will be able to judge your perspective better than anyone, we just want to give a realistic impression so that everyone is happy :).

  What else ...

  Excuse our response rate, the pandemic hit Thailand hard economically and many businesses (like us) are trying to get on their feet again...it's been a hard time.
  
  We are REALLY looking forward to getting rolling again and are SOOO grateful to our workawayers for their help and support of our small business and community.
  
  If you are here for adventure you will find it, and so many very happy smiles ready to welcome visitors again.
