Description
Hello my name is Allan, I'm Scottish and have lived in Thailand for 17+ years.
A few years ago I owned a very unique off-grid Muay Thai Boxing Camp in the jungle of Chiang Rai. I hosted many Workawayers there over the years and more recently at my Golf Retreat in Chiang Mai, and I truly appreciate the help they provided.
Now, I am starting my YouTube career which is mostly based on living in Thailand on a low budget.
And this channel I am renovating a rundown rental property, such as painting and decorating and landscaping the garden, creating beautiful outdoor koi carp fishpond, a vegetable garden, and many more projects like that.
The property needs small (but many) renovations and improvements.
So I am immediately looking for volunteers to help with such renovations and DIY home improvements, painting and decorating, general gardening, cleaning, general maintenance, interior design, etc.
I very much like to be busy, but after the recent sickness of one of my beloved dogs, I have been struggling which made me slip behind with many of my tasks.
2 types of accommodation available;
Private apartment with full kitchen.
Private Room with single bed.
Free drinking water and 3 meals daily (fruits + coffee for breakfast. Regular Thai lunches & dinners) . Helping cooking sometimes for western meals.
If you are fond of a chill time in lovely countryside town, and are happy doing a bit of cleaning, gardening and DIY, I strongly believe you will have a very enjoyable stay here.
