  Description

  I was a SCUBA instructor for many years and own a small resort for budget traveller and scuba divers. Now I am retired. I am planning to transform my place to a small organic farm, mainly practicing permaculture and aquaponic. I am new to this so I want to learn together with the helpers. My knowledge of gardening I’ve learned in my youth.
  
  The project is now in progress.
  Since my health it’s not the best I am looking for help of any kind, digging, painting, cleaning, etc. Please send me a message when you are willing to work 5 hours daily. I am open for new ideas of sustainable thinking people. My policy for this project is nobody works for exhaustion, live is short and everyday should be enjoyable. Only half day in farm, half day for rest and cycling/ exercise/ activities.
  
  I am 58 years old and had a couple different jobs in life. I know a lot about Thai culture, cooking, plants, etc and are willing to share my knowledge with interested people.
  
  In the future I am planning to get some chickens and a goat.
  
  Note for workawayer
  
  1/ I prefer volunteer that can work for 1 month or at least 3 weeks
  2/ 3 days after I reply and do not reply my message, I will accept.
  3/ family with children below 15 years old, I do not accept.

  Autres infos...

  My place is not far from the main central of Khao Lak, surrounded by natural bush, just 10 minutes walk to Bang Niang market and 20 minutes to the closest beach. It’s located at the edge of National Park, so wild birds are seen a lot for feeding here, eg.Kinfisher, Lap Wing Flower Pecker,. Heron, Open bill stork etc. I am have some bicycles that can be used for free.
  
  
  Khao Lak is known for its beautiful beaches, waterfalls, nature and not that big tourism.
  
  Other wild animal such as flying fox, bat, squirrel and jungle flaw are also living around.
