Description
Single father, I am French living with Marlene, my 9y old daughter (half French half Hong Kongese) and Elsa, our 2years old lovely female dog, in our house in Koh Samui in the middle of nature. We moved here in summer 2022 from Hong Kong. I have been working in finance in Tokyo and Hong Kong, and then run my own business (French Roast Chicken Takeaway) in Hong Kong for almost 10 years.

Help
Marlene, Elsa and myself are always looking for someone (or couple) to stay in the studio downstairs our house (you get your own private terrace with access to the swimming pool).
EDIT: We are now looking for volunteer(s) to stay in our place. We will be in Europe with my daughter and the only task will be to clean a bit our small garden from time to time and provide company, food and water to our dog Elsa. She is very easy going and go out by herself.
Since we dont need much work to be done and to make it easy for everyone we only offer accomodation. There is a kitchen in the studio so you can always cook for your self if needed. We are in Thailand, it is often cheaper to eat outside ;o)
Message me if you have any question! -

French: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
I did start learning Thai but would like to practice more to get more confident to speak basics. I understand most of workaway travelers are coming from abroad, but you never know! :o) -
Accommodation
Our house is located in a very quiet area in Lamai and has an independant studio downstairs with kitchen, washing machine and its own terrace. You can use our own swimming pool too.

What else ...
We suggest travelers in Samui to rent their own scooter (around 200 to 300 baht / day) to be able to visit the whole island easily. There are plenty of different places to enjoy, either seaside or jungle/mountains.

Elsa (2 years)
Elsa is a fantastic Thai dog. We adopted her from our neighbors, she was just 2 months old. She is always easy with other dogs and any humans. She is always happy to welcome new guests staying in our place!
