Live a simple life as a volunteer in Thailand – requirements & tasks
Nestled in a serene ecovillage supported by the local temple, our community is located about 180 km from Chiang Mai and 80 km from Chiang Rai. Founded in September 2020, we’re a growing group of 12 individuals from diverse backgrounds, races, religions, cultures, and nations.
We extend a warm welcome to all who share our values of kindness, diligence, simplicity, honesty, and trustworthiness. Together, we strive to create a new lifestyle model that promotes human peace and contributes to a sustainable future for our planet.
We ask that each helper contributes at least two hours of their day to community tasks such as planting, weeding, gardening, cleaning, or laundry.
