The picturesque Northern Thai village of Mae Kam Pong is located only 50 kilometers from Chiang Mai city. Nestled on a hillside, 1300 meters above sea level and surrounded by pristine forest, Mae Kam Pong has a cool and pleasant climate.
A small stream meanders through the village. Water flowing gently past the typical wooden houses creates an enchanting atmosphere, in particular during the quiet of evening.
Huai Kee Lek is an ethnic Akha community, located in Chiang Rai province, in the Wawi sub-district, approximately 25 km’s from the district center of Mae Souay. The village can be reached by a 3.5 km dirt and concrete road, which winds up into the mountains. Huai Kee Lek community gradually emerges into view, perched impressively on a mountain ridge.
Leeled is located on the Tapi River delta, approximately half and hour by road from Surrathani and a similar distance from the railway station at Phunphin.
All aspects of life in Leeled connect with water. Community members live on the Banks of the many streams and canals which flow from the Tapi river. They collect food, building materials and medicines from the riverside and mangroves which eventually reach out to the open sea of Baan Don Bay.
