We’re Wichai’s Jungle Home Stay – a place to play, to pray, to lay and say. No special skills are needed but your hands and your heart.
Help and volunteer in sounthern Thailand – requirements & tasks
We are working on a small place to stay in nature. We call it “Wichai’s Jungle Home Stay”, it’s 30 km away from Surathani province in the south of Thailand.
For almost 60 years this place was abandoned until recently when we were given 1.5 hectares. Now it’s full of plant diversity. They grew by natural selection and support each other. While the area around is full of economic plants such as rubber tree plantations and palm oil plantations. We both love the forest so we planned to stay there by building a small house and stayed. That is a quiet place surrounded by the nature. You can hear birds’ songs, forest sounds, and 5 million stars in the sky at night. The place is good for taking a rest and refreshing your life.
The project started last year. Staying here away from the city among the Thai local people will allow you to learn real Thai lifestyle better than others tourists.
You will work for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. Weekends are free.
The tasks will include for example:
- building a bamboo bridge
- building a tree house,
- cleaning and clearing areas,
- repairing tools,
- art projects,
- making a natural swimming pool.
