Building a small farm in Sisaket, Thailand

Descripción

As an avid backpacker, I don’t just love travel, but I also love the distinct atmosphere of the hostels that take in backpackers.

Though I’m located in Amsterdam, I inherited a small plot of land in my home country of Thailand. I want to build a tiny house on this plot of land. It will be a small cottage and a place for small scale farming, a place where travelers can come to experiment with self-sustainable farming.

If you like nature and real countryside, you will like this isolated spot. I’m looking for ideas and experiments how to support the local population develop a more sustainable way of life. Growing flowers and local foods have my interest.

Since I don’t live there, I need help from people who want to develop this project and experience authentic life in rural Thailand.

The plot currently has running water and electricity, a hut to live in while watching fields or garden, a big pond and some plants, but no buildings and toilet. I’m planning those, but have no timelines on that yet. (If you have the skills to build a tiny house, please propose a project!) You can borrow a tent or stay at my mom’s house which is 200m from the plot. You can use a shower and toilet there in case you choose to stay in a tent. You can see it in the photos. Like me, my mom has a full time job, so you do need to be independent.

The end goal is to have places where people can join and live in a sustainable life style, growing foods and interacting with and learning from the local community. You can contribute to many different kinds of project, as I have plans for (tiny) buildings, agriculture and farming (from ducks to shrimp and bees).
