📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

SHORT DESCRIPTION Kok Riang is the name of the village our organization office is situated in South Thailand. We are kindly hosted on the land of Lung Jaeng, a great life activist who also welcomes volunteers since 2013 through DaLaa to support his social and non-chemical garden 3 km away. Volunteers will mainly join gardening work with Lung Jaeng and will be included in our member activities. Mr. Suthep Suwankrajang known as Lung Jaeng, the host of the project has a strong social network and he is involved in voluntary work, social activism and forest conservation for many years. Since 2013, he has been starting a big garden, 3km from his home with DaLaa volunteers and friends and built there a new house. He grows non-chemical vegetables and fruits. Its like a social garden which is also used for tea meetings, university camps or just having a meal together with friends. Everyone is welcome at this learning space to grow healthy food and to exchange ideas. AIMS of the PROJECT Start a new kind of community based on love, responsibility, harmony, and freedom. Our members grow in wisdom and our garden produces healthy food. We can gather members, children, more and more around meaningful volunteer activities.

💼 What the programme involves

Regular work involves nurturing vegetables plants and fruit trees, take care or chicken, compost making, collecting vegetables for our own consumption, growing seeds or nursing young plants, lots of weeding and watering too. The work may be physically hard or repetitive.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will live with Lung Jaeng and in the garden. Small huts are provided for volunteers. There is the new house of Lung Jaeng and a wood fire kitchen. Regards to the hut for volunteers, there is a thin mattress and mosquito net provided. You may need to bring your own soft mattress if youre prone to backache or wouldnt be able to sleep on hard surfaces. The bathroom and toilet are separated. For the shower, theres no hot water and the restroom is local squatting style. The living condition will be very simple and you may find it completely different from your own country. Local people eat rice (or noodles) 3 times a day with side dishes like curries, omelets, local leaves, and vegetables. We get some food from the garden and shop other at the local markets

📍 About the location

Kok Riang is a village close to Hatyai city. Many people are working there and so the atmosphere around is not as friendly as the one in the countryside. Still, it is more relaxed than in the western world. The most rain season is usually from October to December. There are quite some mosquits, especially after the rain. There are a lot of ducks and chicken around to wake you up early morning :)
