  Sawadee Wan Songkran Ka (Happy Thai New Year) Thank you for contacting me:)) And I'm sorry I took long time to message you guys back, I had exams and errand while i was in Bangkok . I would still need a tutor for Biology A-Level or Imat exam to be specific. But on the side there is also a remake office project. We did the cafe with concrete we would like a bit of homey vibe for this one so if you have carpentry skills, or other speciality tasks you done before please let me know. The helping flow would start after Thai New Year on the 17 April onwards. See you here soon !!

  Thank you everyone:) We are making new room to host more! , thank you very much for message and i'm sorry I took time to text back. I'm having Exams in Bangkok from 12-22 March. There is also a project for better security, as i described the upstairs (or up the hills) is a limestone mill, and i would like to create a program that link to automation gate for better security and organisation that doesn’t require men power to close and open the gate every morning and night. This is quite specific project i know and i honestly have no idea how it could actually work, but i would love to at least try:)

  Happy New Years!
  THANK YOU to Mitch-on-bike, Rainy and Chucky for Cafe constructions:)) They were the pioneers whom help me pour the cement, doing the floor the counter and other things with all of us have no experience before. Very big thanks:)
  Right now I'm looking for people who are good with Food Photography, I'm making Banana Bread, Pie , Quiche but these things are new to Thais so a beautiful photos could convince them to try something new! I am not having luck with this department so if you have good gears or surely can get a job done with my Iphone13. it would be amazing.
  although i still accept people who like to chip in in other department handy crafty or other projects you wanna do, please message me. it would take me 5-7 days to text you back.
  
  
  *update 1/09/24* Hey guys thanks for the messages:) Many people asked where we are, We are located in Khao Ta Loo, Sawi, Chumphon if you see on the google maps you will see we are 30 mins from the Sawi Train Station.
  For October there are some people want to come as solo already so if you wish you can come here alone. but I would still suggest coming with a buddy too, it's more convenience for leisure transportation and you need a buddy if you want to explore the woods in this area! so first let me know when you would like to be here.
  
  
  
  Welcome to my tiny pizzeria at Khao Ta Loo, Sawi, Chumphon! 🍕
  
  Hi I’m Mai:) , and I’ve recently returned to my childhood home in this beautiful valley. While I’m busy serving up fresh, local pizzas, I’d love to learn something new. I’m looking for someone who can teach me Biology, Physics, Math, and Chemistry to help me get ready for my entrance exams. After studying Business major in Belgium,
  I found out it was not for me and i rather do hand on projects person than working at the firms. I always find science more pleasing and less complex than solving economic problems. so i came back and starting every from maybe zero; building my cafe Thank you the help from past workawayer <33 ,learning Highschool level of Biology/Chemistry/Physic/Math , starting small pizzeria business and pop-up, taking care of my home and my pets and living an adventurous rural life.
  One day I hope knowledge i received would allow me to help those who lives in small towns like mine . i dont know what those job title would be or how but i am focusing on the starting point --- get into school! in the mean time i'm enjoying my small cafe brewing coffee baking new thing, learn how to cook from other cuisine so far i'm interested in french/italian cusine. and just enjoying converations and perspections with totally difference lives from people around the world !
