Description
It's Moh, here. In 2019, I started an innovation company with the aim to connect small communities to digital economy by using design, technology, and social entrepreneurship.
Our lab is working on a project to connect international travelers to authentic, meaningful, and sustainable experiences around Thailand, starting in Krabi. Every experience is built around concept of bringing travelers back to connect with the nature and where our food comes from. So, it's a lot about immersion of what it's like to be a fisherman, farmer, local chef, and local ranger. This is to offer experiences out of the main stream routes while preserving tradition and nature. This is going to be an exciting learning experience for both travelers and local villagers!
We care about your learning experience as much as we are committed to our goal. So, please feel free to hit me up and have a chat on how we wanna work together :-)
