The experience

We are inviting volunteers who want to design a one-of-a-kind hotel inspired by local culture and capture the journey along the way. Live with the community, explore unique materials, and help shape spaces like rooms, the lobby, garden, and more. We're blending tradition with creativity. We want Phrae to be part of it, not by shouting, but by whispering through the little details, woven subtly into every corner of the space.

Program Details

We’re inviting volunteer designers and creatives to join a cultural journey in Phrae, Northern Thailand. You’ll stay in the community and help us design a hotel that reflects the soul of Phrae quietly, subtly, and beautifully.

But beyond design, we want you to explore, feel, and tell stories about Phrae through content. You’ll help us not only build a space, but also capture the heart of Phrae for the world to see.
