Description
We are one of the first Vanilla Farm in Thailand. Actually we are adapting the vanilla plants to the local ecosystem. The final objective is to be able to provide knowhow, vanilla plants and a market for their crops to the mountain farmers, mainly the one working in coffee. Without added revenues, the coffee cultivators' villages will disappear as it's a too tough job for a so little revenue for the young generation.
Come to meet us, join our team to learn about vanilla and to help us to the garden and in the vanilla cover-houses.
Until the end of 2023, we will welcome only people skilled in website and online marketing to help us to start our web communication.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Being with us, you can share the life of our farm with 5 Thai residents, learn basic Thai but, over all, learn about the wonderful world of the vanilla culture with its problems but as well its secrets.
Help
It's more a learning centre but learning by doing. We have about 5000 vanilla plants to take care in the two cover-houses. It's a nice work, clean but needing patience and observation for the care. You can as well work in the garden. The team is mainly Thai. We speak Thai, English, French and some German.

Accommodation
We have an apartment, 2 bedrooms for the guests. Our cook does only Thai food but we have as well a nice kitchen if you want to cook the food you miss.
Attention: the North food is not adapted to vegan diet as most of the dishes have meat or eggs.
What else ...
We are a bit lost un the countryside, about 30 minutes driving to the Chiang Rai airport and 45 minutes to the city centre. If you like tribes, mountains but as well temples and simple life, you will enjoy to stay some days with us.
