It was my second day in Thailand that I found the tiny guesthouse where I've been staying. I was SO LUCKY. Here's the sweet soi (lane) that the guesthouse is on, and the biggest scorpion dead on the road that I've ever seen. I didn't know scorpions got to be so large! I wish I had set my foot in the picture so you see its size; 6" long at least.
I'm staying at the intersection of 4 inter-connected communities. I'm at Canvas Guesthouse owned by Lek and Nong, shown here with their 4-mos baby Daaeng Mooi.
In the courtyard, there's a brand new vegetarian restaurant named Plenty, owned by Yao and Khrit (no picture yet, but I'll add one soon). Yao and Khrit run a 4-day Organic Cooking School program on their land in Mae Tang, an hour from here. They live next door to PunPun (http://www.punpunthailand.org/cfabw/en/index.php?action=home), co-created by a Lao man and American woman. It specializes in organic farming, seed collection, earth, straw-bale and other sustainable building and more. There's also a connected permaculture farm nearby. All amazing folks doing wonderful work.
In doing a Google-search to find a weblink for Khrit and Yao's cooking school, I found a blog's post that has a terrific picture of the Yao and Khrit. Check it out! http://joshkearns.blogspot.com/2007/02/thai-cooking-class.html
