Hello and welcome to the riverside community of Ban Laem, Suphanburi Province about two hours north of Bangkok in central Thailand.<\/p>\n

Won’t you come for a wander with me as I introduce you to a local community who are striving to promote themselves in the fast-developing area of community tourism?<\/p>\n

I’m excited to stay with a local family and see how they live and join them for some amazing home-cooked food. I’m meeting their friends, neighbours and Local Masters of culture and local wisdom. We will visit a sufficiency economy farm and collect eggs and veggies for our meals. We will learn new skills and try our hand at some of the local crafts. None of it is as easy as it looks!<\/p>\n

COMMUNITY TOURISM EXPERIENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ban Laem Community are one of twenty-two villages<\/a> chosen to participate in the Thailand Village Academy (TVA)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This project has been developed by the Tourism Authority of Thailand to promote community tourism for off the beaten track, authentic experiences.<\/p>\n

In future posts, we shall visit two further TVA communities in Phetchaburi and Ayutthaya provinces.<\/p>\n
