PARTENAIRE

Prapai Thongchern also known as P. Yoi is a 60 years old single woman pioneer in natural living. She has a long experience in natural color textiles and starting local green markets in the province of Phatthalung (South Thailand) that have become really successful. She has restored a family land covering an area of 4 rai (1.6 acre), which used to be a peat swamp field with sago palm dense forest, and turned it into a beautiful farm named “Suan Som Rom Na Phru”. This farm is used both as a learning space and to provide her with daily fresh food and environment. The place is ideal for recharging the life energy and finding an inspiration from the simplicity in nature.
