    Position for workaway NO SMOKERS even already in Thailand and last minute

    First: I need motivated people interested in a cultural exchange. I advise young people interested in meeting new people and having fun not to apply to me, but to some tourist accommodation facility, where they will surely have more fun.

    My house is a good place to be in peace and in contact with Nature.
    No internet connection if you don't provide by yourself with data sim card ( this is a private home, not a business place/resort)

    I am looking for:
    Couples can help me in the garden and in the house. Bamboo and building skills.
    (I love work in the garden, but Is little bit dangerous for me to do it alone,because I am allergic to bees bite,)

    -Building expert , preferred use natural materials
    -On line marketing (help me to finish to build a web site) not on August

    No specific skills

    -Daily work routine: care about garden and animals, keep the house clean
    -Plant veggies seeds
    Only animals lovers,I have 4 cats and 3 dogs job is to feed, care and cuddle the animals, and keep house clean with general maintenance.
    P. S.
    In the last years Internet is working around all islands with any Thai sim card/company but I have not Wii fii
    So you must provide to have your own data sim. Unlimited could cost around 200 bth/6 eur if you don't buy a tourist sim in BKK airport .
    We have no car on the island ,only motorbike and you can rent your own scooter , sometimes my friend has one cheaper for long stay, so advice me in advance if you need.
    In the last years we have (from a private company) water and electricity , but please,you must care and try to save much is possible, because we are often run out of water on the island and price/unit is 10 time higher than mainland.

    I was an Italian barman/chef so I am expert in cooking,and sometimes I love to prepare handmade food with the Workaways.

    you will be welcome to help me.
