Wellness is becoming a trend now, and we have to keep up with it. In this post, I'd like to welcome you to soak in hot water at Raksa Warin Hot Spring in Ranong.
The horbill Batik cloth pattern best expresses Koh Yao Noi's unique identity. Not only does Koh Yao Noi boast stunning marine scenery, but it also offers the opportunity to engage in batik, a handcrafted craft utilizing natural fibers like muslin, linen, and cotton. The villagers of "Ban Tha Khao" demonstrate their expertise by skillfully drawing patterns by hand and carefully applying paint to the fabric. The culture is truly remarkable. The local wisdom of Thailand is highly valued by tourists like us. It is highly recommended that you make it a priority during your visit.
Let us take you on a little journey today…
We're celebrating the amazing Ban Na Ton Chan Community in Sukhothai, recently honored with the PATA Grand Award 2025 for Sustainability and Social Responsibility!
This charming village, with over 200 years of history, is a beautiful example of traditional agricultural life. Here, you’ll find warm Northern dialects, close-knit community spirit, and a peaceful lifestyle where neighbors support one another like family.
What started with just one homestay in 2004 has grown into a network of over 30 welcoming homestays. Come and stay in a wooden house, wake up to morning mist, cycle through the orchards, and learn traditional weaving from local artisans — all in the heart of authentic Thai countryside.
"The City Of 'Eight Rainy, Four Sunny' Months" is full of cultural charm and gorgeous landscapes.
In Phuket, there is good stuff and delicious food. One of the best things is the 7-color lobster, the king of seafood in Phuket.
Visit the Ban Mai Khao Community. Another thing that I like and must emphasize that you can't miss is "Giant Ginger" or "Gai Lak Gai," which is a seagrass vegetable. Shaped like a five-pointed starfish, green is a local vegetable that grows along the beach and can be used to cook a variety of dishes. The flavor is oily and a little astringent, whether eaten fresh with chili paste or with fish curry. It's also delicious to order Khanom Jeen Namya, but the most popular menu items are stir-fried with oyster sauce or coconut milk soup with fresh shrimp. It will have a sweet, fragrant taste. It's very delicious. In this regard, you can go to see the Lyon Han vegetable planting of the Ban Mai Khao Lan Han community enterprise. They collaborated to cultivate and preserve this indigenous vegetable as a local identity product of the Mai Khao Subdistrict.
Why choose when you can have it all? Join our ultimate community trip in Phang Nga Bay, combining peaceful relaxation with hands-on conservation! Start your Slow Life on Koh Yao Noi with a stay in a fragrant coconut garden homestay, capture stunning photos of the vast rice fields, and indulge in the famous 'Islander Roti'. Then, cross over to Ban Tha Khao for a creative batik workshop and a truly special mission: building artificial nests for hornbills to support wildlife!
Finish your memorable day with incredible fresh, community-caught seafood! This is the perfect blend of vacation and contribution!

Phatthalung's sangyod rice has come a long way. This "Sang Yod and sea bream fish chip" (fish meat mixed with Sangyod rice flour) will make local knowledge more valuable. Making health-conscious people happy is the main ingredient used in this product. The high nutritional value comes from Sangyod's mix of 80% sea fish and rice flour. It is rich in fiber, aiding the body in eliminating waste. It is full of vitamins. Stay away from cancer, Alzheimer's, and heart disease. Pepper is another important raw material that comes from the community. This leads to the spread of income and jobs in the area.
Ranong province is a source of high-quality cashew nuts, also known as Kayu seeds, among the Ranong people. It is an economic crop that can be grown anywhere, particularly the native species that are highly popular to plant, the Koh Phayam species. There is also an "ancient roasted kayu seed" that is peculiar to the Koh Phayam people. It is folk wisdom that makes the cashews here smell wonderful, crispy, delicious, and distinct from others.
Today, I'd like to introduce you to the community tourism program of Baan Bang Rong Community Based Tourism , which is a community known for its rich historical heritage and is one of the community tourism destinations in Phuket Province.
Ranong province is renowned for its exceptional shrimp paste, known for its superior quality. Locals catch prawns and make them into delicious-smelling shrimp paste. The silky and delicate shrimp paste does not contain any chunks of fish. You can anticipate a subtly salty and subdued flavor that is perfectly balanced. Make sure you get some for your stove before you leave Ranong.
