Briefing
Thanks to Khau Pha Friends, a local social enterprise, this project focuses on establishing four homestays and community experiences with the indigenous Thai people in Khau Pha village. Nguyên, our community expert, has been an integral part of KPF's project team since its inception in 2019, working closely with the Thai community in Ta Sung village to set up a sustainable community-based tourism model. This initiative encompasses various short-term and small-scale projects, all aimed at benefiting local residents and fostering sustainable community development through cultural tourism, agriculture, handicrafts, environmental conservation, and education.
Through these efforts, our goal is to develop tourism offerings that are sustainable and culturally authentic, providing not only attractions for visitors but also creating meaningful and sustainable livelihood opportunities for local communities.
