Description
The magic of Lanna
Northern Thailand
Refurbishing old traditional house
Right in the middle of the Woods
But only 20 minutes out of CHIANG Mai
I have to say this is one the best thing I've got into.
You are welcome on this piece of land as a place to live close to the nature working to develop a way an "off-grid" life style.
I am Daniel.
These many years of traveling brought me Here
In Mae Rim
Creativity incentive mindfullness love for nature are the threads.
Bring your ideas, you can give a hand at
Refurbishing that old house made of wood
maintaining the land (learning quite a few trades in the process)
You’ll have a glimpse at how to survive off-grid without following the common thread but ending up in living in a « Perma" or « Eco » way very respectful of the environment, not grabbing too much resource from the universe or you want to call it from « mother nature »
That will not take you more than a couple hours per Day
