Baan Tham Sue Homestay Community
Phetchaburi
Under the shade of rain trees lies a tranquil countryside community next to Petchaburi River, nestled among the lush green nature of Kaeng Krajan district. The community revolves around organic agriculture and has plenty of interesting learning sites around the on-site homestay accommodation. Some of the forest-friendly conservational learning activities include making seed bullets for planting, learning about traditional recipes and boat tours of the area. This all began from the Tree Bank project, which aims to connect all living things to the people and the social responsibility of taking care of the forest.
