Highlights
- Eat your way through Thailand! From the street food in Bangkok to the local delicacies of floating markets, from the intricate cuisine of the north in Chiang Mai to granny-prepared meals at homestays.
- Spend time at an organic farm, learning about alternative modes of food production and the opportunities these open up for our environment and livelihoods.
- Gain an intimate perspective on daily life in northern Thailand as we live with homestay families and trek through lush hills and endless greenery.
- Develop a critical perspective towards food production and consumption through hands-on experience and dialogue with local friends and partners!
