Sat, Nov 7 · 8:00 AM ICT

Location not specified yet

Escape the city and reconnect with nature on a two-day retreat to Ban Wang Hora, a peaceful village nestled among the mountains near a reservoir in Suphanburi.

Join us for a weekend of riverside camping, forest hiking, waterfall swimming, bamboo rafting, and beautiful mountain viewpoints. Wake up to fresh air, spend time surrounded by nature, and enjoy a slower pace of life away from the city.

This is more than just a hiking trip. The campsite and trail program are developed by the local community to help residents recognize the value of their hometown's natural environment and create sustainable income through tourism, rather than relying on forest-burning practices.
