I live in rural Isaan, in a small, (Pop.220) farming village with 3 Jungle national parks within 25 km... Surrounded by Paddy, sugar cane & manioc fields, inside an ancient volcano caldera with the crater walls covered in Jungle less than 5 km away, Share my Thai families life with me, we have 3 children & a mother-in-law living with us & are related to most of the rest of the village. Join in with the village life, go to weddings, parties etc. Help with the harvests or planting on the farm, go mushrooming in the jungle or just trek with experienced guides. Live in our modern spare room with a fan & mosquito nets & a good internet connection as I also run a small, village internet cafe. I will pick you up & return you to our provincial capital of Chaiyaphum. I can pre-book you buses from Bangkok to Chaiyaphum or Mini buses or Taxis to our door...
