Homestay Experience in Thailand?

So you're interested in an experience in Thailand with the family in a mountain community north of the rural communities? Sounds good! Remember, do not expect hotels or luxury type. Be prepared for rather basic accommodations without much comfort. Most likely your shower is very rudimentary and consist of a bucket of cold water which is empty on yourself, and your bathroom is the traditional Thai hut, which is low to the ground and do not flushOf course, it must induce a bucket or two of water to pour flush the toilet. Do not worry if you have selected the right host family, you get to a room a very rustic, but clean with a double function. Do you have any anticipation of restaurant-style meals are prepared gourmet food, delicious and healthy. The ladies of the village, which will prepare the meals, cooks will most likely experienced and familiar with its culinary traditions. If you are vegetarian, they shouldable to welcome you.

Just a tip - if you get a community Hilltribe - that Akha, Hmong, Lisu, Lahu, Karen or Mien, it would not hurt to do some research before their culture and history.

I have no personal experience in Thailand if I had the opportunity to make a site visit mountains with a relatively new host family in about an hour's drive from Chiang Mai, the tourist center of Northern Thailand. Rooms were simpleand small, as expected, but very clean and had a lovely pool with sun terrace next to a small area in the room to establish your personal belongings.

The villagers grow tea and coffee, both nearby and many of the communities were used in farming and other agricultural purposes. An analysis of the gift shop of the goods in your community, I bought a special neck pillow, filled with aromatic green tea. For some strange reason, I thought that the United StatesCustoms would tear them apart looking for marijuana, but did not disappoint.
