| Overview : 4-DAY DISCOVERY KHON KAEN RURAL LIFE & HOMESTAY |
 |
One of the core elements of our program is to stay a few nights at a Thai host family, in one of the rural villages on the quiet countryside of Thailand. A unique and charming way to meet and live with the Thai people and to experience first-hand what life on the Thai countryside is like. Life is quiet and easy going and the region is still rarely visited by tourists. Don’t worry about a language barrier: an English speaking Thai guide will be available during your whole stay to translate between yourself and the locals. Enjoy it, it’s real fun and the people will love to dialogue with you
Your overnight stays will be at home with a Thai family. Your room has a double mattress with a mosquito net and a fan. The sanitary is simple but good. You don’t need to take along much more than toilet articles and clothes for the duration of the stay. Breakfast and dinner are included. Transport will be done by Songtaew (non-air-conditioned pickup truck).
During your home stay you will become involved in authentic, ordinary daily life. There are several organised visits to the different activities in the community, for instance to village production facilities (hand made products, cloth weaving), to agricultural activities (cattle farming, rice sowing or harvesting depending on the season) and to the local school to experience (part of) the schooldays. These activities are genuine and not performed for tourist purposes. You can actively participate if you want. You can also taste the local atmosphere on your own. Take a walk through the village, go and see how local food “khanom chin” -also called “Lao spaghetti”- is made by people working in a hot oven factory when outside it is already 32°C, have a snack or a lunch on a village terrace, communicate with the villagers, rent a car for a day to explore the region (we have set out a few very scenic routes for that purpose) or visit the local afternoon market. And especially: take the opportunity to meet and socialize with the Thai people.
A professional English speaking guide is available during your entire stay. The guide can act as translator, thereby bridging the language barrier and making the contact and communication with the local people much easier and certainly a lot of fun. This is one of the unique elements of our program and gives an extra dimension to the contact with the Thai people. Next to being the translator the guide will take you along the organized activities, will give background information on the things which you will encounter on the way, can answer to all your questions and can help you to organize and arrange many things on the spot also in case of unexpected events.
