Description
Hello! My name is Kwan. I left my job in 2011 to became a farmer in order to pursue answers for my life long questions - why are farmers so poor and does natural farming really work?
I began all this by taking over a 12 acre orchard farm in 2011 and converting it into an organic one. Doing agriculture ecology allowed me to discover that farming is not only about growing plants and maintaining forests without pesticides and chemical fertilizers, but also about enhancing the life of communities nearby. However, to make it become a real agro-ecology farm, there is still a lot to do. We have an ambition to make this project as eco-friendly as possible and, hopefully, it will become a learning center for people who want to live a sustainable/self reliant life.
On this farm we grow trees to become material for many things: tools, kayaks, jewelry, furniture, art, whatever you can imagine. It is my dream to create a boat building school where local kids can learn how to use local resources for better work opportunities. They can make money through more meaningful projects while promoting eco tourism, sustainable production/consumption, and self reliance.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Natural farming/ecological farming:
- Workawayers will learn how to farm in a natural way.
- Participants will see by themselves whether natural farming is the solution to the present day agriculture or not.
- Participants will be able to apply the farming practice to their own project.
Authentic cultural experience:
- By living/working in a farm that is operated by the local people in a non-touristic area, workawayers will exposed themselves to a genuine local experience.
- There are not many hosts on the east of Thailand that open their houses for volunteers. So, your experience will be unique.
Site visits:
- We are taking our volunteers to places in the province once a week. Although our location is not located in a touristy area, there are plenty of beautiful sites in the province to visit such as waterfalls, mountains, and beaches.
Help
- Planting a food forest
- Weeding, mulching, and pruning
- Planting a kitchen garden
- Watering
- Making compost
- Building furniture for the house
- Help with daily routine (cooking/cleaning)
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Thai: Fluent
Accommodation
We have two rooms, one with a bunk bed that can host 2 volunteers. So, please expect that you might have to share a room with another volunteer. There is a modern toilet and shower room. However, there is no hot shower provided.
Food will be provided 3 meal a day. I have stop eating dinner for a while, but I will provide some ingredients for you to make your own meal.
There is no Wifi provided in the house. However, there is a mobile coverage in the area; therefore, volunteer can go online via personal internet sim card.
What else ...
It doesn't matter if you have a previous experience in a farm. We are interested in what you are willing to do more than where you have been or what you have done. In fact, I enjoy working with newbies way more than I-know-it-all type of people.
We are more than happy to answer questions from people who have genuine interests in our project. To show that you are truly interested to join us and have fully read our profile, please put the phase "No WiFi Provided" in your first sentence when writing an email to us.
I enjoy listening to silence. If you need to listen to loud music all the time, headphones are strongly advised.
We also take our volunteers to visit local sites at least once a week. Those places could be waterfall, beaches, local markets, etc. which depends mainly on the weather.
Note: Smoking is prohibited everywhere on the entire property.

Angélique is a tough girl with great skills in construction and renovation. She was a great help during her stay. Angélique has helped repairing floor, making wood racks for the balcony and watering plants.
The very best things I liked about her were
- flexibly. Sometimes we worked at night to get things done.

My time in the farm was awsome! Kwan is passionate and very interesting, I've learned a lot sharing time with him here. His project is not "just a farm" but a deep reflexion about life and I loved to discuss with him about that.
Kwan is also very friendly and likes to tell jokes!
I recommand this workaway experience without any doubt!

We stayed one week on kwans farm in Trat province very near the Cambodia border. The area has no element of tourism which is perfect if you are wanting to fully embrace the Thai experience. The farm is about 2km off the road and surrounded by rubber trees, which is unique to the region. The house is very modern and comfortable, especially the… read more
