The Rai Som eco-Farmstay is planned to generate income which will support some or all of the running cost of the school. Once the farmstay is built, scheduled after the main school buildings have been completed, paying guests will be able to relax in natural settings. Look out on vegetable gardens and rice paddies, the guests can spend time doing nothing, or if they wish they can get involved in some of the work - gardening, planting and harvesting, and helping around the grounds.

Our goal is to have a very homely, warm feeling which will also give the students a feeling of safety and comfort during their school day.

What is it?

The farmstay is a series of self-contained houses, raised above ground level, built to house paying guests. The houses will be linked by a walkway, and powered by a solar panel system.

Where is it?

The farmstay will cover around 3 rai of the project's grounds (total 6.5 rai), including the rice paddies, vegetable gardens, flower beds, and irrigation canals. It is set to the left side of the project, on the opposite side of the land from the school in order to reduce noise from the school for guests.

Why is it?

In short, the farmstay is an income generating project aimed to support the running costs of the school, in part or full. It will use natural products for fertiliser and pesticides as much as possible, and be a model for other NGOs as a sustainable method of income generation.
