My name is Uma. A few years ago I returned to my native place after a long journey where I learn different skills.
During this journey I worked in a vegetarian restaurant in the center of Bangkok as a cook, and taught people how to cook Thai food.
I also spend a lot of time learning about meditation, and I have been to different temples to learn and experiment. Is wath is guide me today step after step in my life.
Now I am back to my roots, with many memories of my childhood, when my father and mother take care my seven sisters and brothers with this little piece of land, working hard with buffaloes to plow the soil, my mother even gave birth to me in the rice field, with an adventure, I am so grateful for that.
With so many memories, I d like to take care of this land and be the guardian of the place.
My vision is to practice natural agriculture.
In this way, I grow a lot of trees with the intention of creating a forest garden, to fertilize the land, reduce the heat, and so much more.
I grow some vegetables around the house and, I d like to grow more to be as self-sufficient as possible.

During April to November is the time of THE RICE, my main food, main job.
During this time we first prepare the fields, then we trow the seeds, we take them out, we grow them again, we control the water, we pray for rain, we select the most beautiful ear for the next season, we harvest, we go to the mild, and then we can eat, give share. Seeds of sweat.
It's a very traditional path, most of it is made by hand.
its the time of connexion with neighbor, with clay, with sun, with rain, with ancestor, with green.
From November to April, when is not rice season we have a lot of others tasks to do around the farm, such as growing vegetables, work on the land, take care of fruit trees, general maintenance and basic construction tasks in the house.
So as you can see there's always a lot to do around here so you are always welcome to come and put your energy and smile in this beautiful project!
Please be aware that a completely optional contribution of 200 bath/day is required if you want me to provide the three meals per day.
Otherwise you'll have a bicycle available to reach the nearest market and buy your own food. You can then store and cook your own food in the house, no problem!

Alojamiento

We all sleep in the farm.
It's rustic but comfortable and clean.
Here we live an authentic simple Thai farm life, cold shower included 😉

Depending on how many volunteers there are you could have a private room or have to share a dormitory.
Otherwise you are welcome to bring your own tent and make your own spot wherever you want in the land.
As the farm is very small i accept no more than 8 volunteers at once. I hope you understand!
FOOD: Update
Three meals per day are guaranteed for an optional fee of 200 baths per day. You can have the chance to try authentic Thai food cooked with love and passion. I can teach you how to cook Thai receipts
Otherwise you'll have access to a bicycle to go do your own food shopping and the kitchen will be available for you to store and cook your own food.
LAUNDRY
I can provide soap and a basin for you to handwash your clothes
FREE TIME
In your free time you are welcome to visit the surrounding area, the city, the temples, the markets, do shopping...
There is a walking street near the Mekong river where you can go walking/bycing/jogging during the day and that at night is full of street food and you can go to have a bit of nightlife.
I have a bicycle volunteers can borrow and we can always arrange a Tuk Tuk in case volunteers want to go together and share the cost.
Algo más...
The farm is situated 10 minutes by bike from a small town called Nong Khai, and 5 minutes from the friendship bridge who connects Thailand and Laos.
The farm is 10 min away from the Mekong, in the middle of rice fields and trees, we access by a small road is a nice place for people who like nature and calm.
There is plenty of things to discover around during your time off.
HOW TO GET HERE: the day of your arrival I can arrange a Tuk Tuk to pick u up and bring you at the farm. From the Nong Khai train station it would be 100 bht, and from the Nong Khai bus station is 150 bht one person but if have more than one is 100/person

And this time was the first stay as volonteer for 3 weeks at Uma's farm.
