Help us bring our nonprofit dreams to life, and enjoy the beaches in Koh Phangan, Thailand

  Description

  We are revamping an old restaurant space, a very well known iconic establishment on the island, we want to refresh the place with new decor, a vertical plant wall and other fun little project you can get involved in.
  
  We’re building something meaningful—a space where people can come together to cook, connect, and contribute to the community. First we need to make the place beautiful with refurbishments! We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to get involved! We are trying to recreate a nonprofit venture raising money for local causes. Our dream is to create a community space that is not only about capitalism, not an ordinary venture but one with charitable goals (balanced with financial survival), but in summary, its not about the money, its about bringing people together with a common goal to share and learn about food and contribute something to the community.
  
  We won't ask you to prepare food. But you might like to learn some casareccia Italian cuisine in a workshop.

  Accommodation

  Shared accommodation in the beautiful and peaceful Sri Thanu area, close to beaches, yoga retreats, and vibrant local markets.
  We would love to host a couple or two friends that are happy to sleep in the same king size bed in a lush private jungle setting in Sri Thanu, close to all the action and Zen beach. We can host others too, however we only accept volunteers that are happy with shared living environment.
  
  Our last big group of volunteers used the bungalow as a dorm room, common area for everyone to be comfortable, this works for flexible community orientated people and that's not for everyone.
  
  Camping is possible for those enthusiastic and comfortable connecting with nature. The jungle is very shaded, but some people may not be comfortable with the Thai heat for camping.
