Foodie Theme
In the era when money and material possessions are more important than anything else, a life that relies only on components around you sought from nature is a simple but rather free and sustainable happiness. Crops, vegetable, fruit, and herbs that can be harvested throughout the year with any purchases, and meat of small and large animals sourced from private farm, make each and every meal full of new and fresh flavors of the season, safe and contaminant-free, whose source is 100% retraceable.

Best Time To Travel
All year round, but during rainy season mushrooms would be plenty and sweet bamboo shoots would be available. Drought season will be the time for ‘phak wan,’ ‘dok khan,’ and red ant eggs for those who like them. If you wish to see fogs of the late rainy season and early winter, you could see if it thick from just behind the homestay.
