💼 What the programme involves
Our comfort program offers a more luxurious, quiet and peaceful time during their stay. We do this by offering higher quality rooms in idyllic surroundings.
During the day, the activities which our 'comfort participants' will be engaged in will be normal
programs as part of one group. However they will be residing in a different area to the majority of
our participants. We feel this will continue to allow a maximum level of cultural learning through
exchange, whilst creating a more comfortable and agreeable environment during the evening and mornings. We recommend this program for our more senior participants and travelling families.
All of the following programs are available on a regular Monday to Friday basis. For more
information on each specific program, please refer to the individual descriptions. The programs run as they normally do, the difference is in the accommodation.
Programs
1. Siam Culture Week
2. School Placement  Teaching English
3. Orphanage Effort
4. Thai Boxing
5. Clay House Construction
6. Caring for Disabled Children
This program aims to offer regular projects, with a higher level of accommodation to cater for different needs.
🏠 Accommodation on site
COMFORT ACCOMMODATION
This accommodation is located in one of our Eco Houses. Here you will find comfortable, spacious and uniquely designed bedrooms with air-conditioning and hot water showers.
We recommend this accommodation for participants who desire more comfort and privacy, families, couples and more elderly participants. Single as well as double rooms are available on the premises. The comfort class accommodation is located apart from the two standard participant residences and so is noticeably quieter.
Comfort class includes a communal area where you can eat, relax, meet any other fellow participants.
All the meals served inside the accommodation are vegetarian friendly and will be typically Thai, including plenty of rice dishes and fruits. Water, coffee and tea are available all day long.
Important: A security cash deposit of 500TBH is required for the key to your room. It is payable upon arrival in cash and will be returned when they key is given back at the end of your stay.
No alcohol is permitted in any of our accommodations, but we are located within walking distance of a local shop and there is even a makeshift bar provided by the friendly locals in front of the accommodation.
📍 About the location
You will be located in the outskirts of Singburi, an interesting town 142 km north of Bangkok. Singburi was founded under the reign of King Rama V through the consolidation of 3 small towns located on the bank of The Chao Phraya River. The three small towns, Sing Buri, In Buri and Phrom Buri, were then established as a single town on the west of the Chao Phraya River in 1895.
Your new home is set close to the village of Tha Kham, an extremely rural area that will give you the chance to experience the Thailand that very few get to see.
There are ATMs and shops in the local village which, depending on the accommodation you will be staying at, is located between 5 minutes by bicycle to 20 minutes by by foot.
There are restaurants and small local stores within walking distance of each of the accommodations.
Equally, Singburi has plenty to offer and there will be trips throughout the week into this city where you can find shopping malls, markets, restaurants and even a swimming pool!
Locally, Singburi itself has plenty to offer in terms of sites and attractions, ranging from its many Buddhist temples. There is also a swimming pool, two shopping centres and many markets.
You can also choose to travel to Bangkok during weekends. It takes 2.5 - 3 hours either by mini-van or bus from Singburi . We provide detailed information about this each week.
