Description
Hola, Hello, Namaste & Sawadee!
We design and develop Fair Trade products with ethnic minority groups in Thailand and Nepal and are working remotely, hatching a marketing strategy plan in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
HOWEVER, we are currently looking for someone handy who could paint the interior of a small apartment for approximately 4 days here in Chiang Mai.
We are an American/British expat family who have lived in Thailand and Nepal for the past 20 years.
We are looking for someone to help make some changes to our Shopify website, do some sales research and help with some product photography and stop-motion videos.
General creativity, and an outgoing personality for both posts are the keys to building this global fair trade vision.
We also continually seek a digital marketing wizard with knowledge in Tik-Tok shops!
We've been working with talented artisans in Nepal, Thailand, India and Bali for close to twenty years. We love meeting new people who are out traveling the world, challenging their social norms and therefore making the planet a better place for everyone to coexist!
This workaway post is for someone who looks at life and business with an out-of-the-box approach. This workaway is a creative post for someone who is a go-getter, who is self-motivated and a team player. This workawayer enjoys being challenged and taking on new initiatives and must work well with an international team. Excellent communication skills is a must.
Being a fair trade company, our emphasis is not predominantly on the product.....It is on the people. We travel the world, meet new people, listen to their needs and assist them in organizing co-ops to easier channel their products to the western markets.
It is our mission to encourage travel because we believe that it is the key to a safer, kinder world.

We look forward to engaging in interesting conversations with you and learning together.

We had such a lovely time with Karolina and Deniz. They are both independent a pleasure to work with. Deniz is an amazingly talented camera man with a get the job done attitude and Karolina has a keen eye for detail, and will jump into new tasks with enthusiasm. She also makes a mean arrabiata sauce!

Mariel is extremely organized and goal and task driven. She's creative with her writing and a good researcher. She wrote several blogs for us while she was here and has continued to blog for us on her travels elsewhere---which is of course, super awesome!

Mar stayed with us for a short time and was extremely helpful in translating our website copy to Spanish. She's easy going and flexible. Language translation is so valuable! Thanks Mar!

Unfortunately Jessie's time with us was cut short! But we were so happy to have her for the time she could stay. She has a lot of knowledge and ideas regarding social media and she is very goal driven and organized, pleasant and respectful. Her enthusiasm lends well to any project and she is welcome back here anytime!

We had such a wonderful time with Emma! She is hard working, resourceful and respectful. Her research skills were especially valuable to us! She is amazing at noticing what needs to be done and just gets on with it. I think she would be an asset to any foundation/business/organisation! She was with us a month and the whole family enjoyed her… read more

I spent a month with Gina and her kids in Chiang Mai, and absolutely loved it! Gina is an incredibly kind and hard working person, and there are so many things to do in and around Chiang Mai in your free time! Come prepared to be a creative, independent, and self-motivated worker. Gina's so busy, she doesn't always have time to sit down and talk… read more
