Community:
Our project is an aid project for tsunami orphans and people in need. Its aim is providing children with a new perspective and introducing them to a self-determined life. To this end, the school strives for a type of tourism which is ecologically acceptable, economically sustainable as well as ethically and socially just.
Tourism represents the main source of income for the population of southern Thailand. The incorporation of a guest area, which opened in May 2007, into the school thus suggested itself. Here, far away from the areas of mass tourism, visitors have the opportunity to become acquainted with everyday Thai culture and the residents and children. Furthermore, the goal of the institution is to design the vacation infrastructure as sustainable as possible. Among other things, the employees are trained specifically to this effect. At the same time, the guest area figures as an important pillar of financing for the project and provides excellent learning potential to the youths regarding the subject of sustainable tourism.
Create a variety of authentic and flavourful Thai dishes while spending a relaxing holiday in the neighbouring guest area of our child-aid project. During the Thai cooking and fruit carving course, you will have the opportunity to learn skills from the locals themselves. Our restaurant’s chef Na also shares her tips and tricks of traditional Thai cuisine in this cooking course. Local foods and products are used as often as possible in order to support the local economy and the work of the local people. In the afternoons after each cooking course you will have the opportunity to participate in encounter activities, which bring you closer to the culture and local people. 100% of the proceeds from the program, overnight stays, and activities benefit the aid project directly.
Environment:
The creation of a waste separation station and the increased use of reusable dishes have been implemented to better protect the environment. In our restaurant and during the cooking course the food is predominantly prepared using local ingredients and ecologically farmed produce from the on-site organic farming field. Therefore we try to use as little imported food as possible.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
