FilmsFarmSchool (Suan Silp)

A home for travelers who want to ease off, for thinkers who want to rest their mind, for artists who want to find workspace, for any creator who is in need of a quiet space to be productive, a place to rest, refresh, pray… and just for anyone who wants to regenerate and take a break.
Suan Silp Binsi (Films Farm School) offers plenty of energizing space to share, create, heal and relax with friends or by yourself. On the farm land you can mingle with like minded people in a studio to make art or sit and read a book in the tree house.
Explore the area using the bamboo canoe on the river next to the farm, use the book room, play music or use the central kitchen with a clay oven to make pizza or bread.
Join us on a hike in the forest with our dogs in the morning or join mom cooking in the kitchen or do some gardening with dad.
A wood workshop invites to be creative with wood or clay for the kids or go foraging wild food in the nearby forest guided by a team member.
Chat and exchange life spaces with the garden owner who wakes up at 4 am to work on ideas until noon.
Around noon lay down in the hammock and rest during the day.
Once the heat eases off in the afternoon you can do physical work- and then go to sleep no later than 10 pm. After that we turn off all lights for the night- so that the fireflies can shine!
How we live at Suan Silp Binsi (Film Farm School): in earthen houses, tree houses, a house made from recycled wood- created by people who participated in a house building course before!
Simple but cute, warm, sincere and sustainable. All houses have access to electricity.
Sleep alone, share sleeping spaces, share bathrooms, eat from the same wood-fired pot like family or cook for yourself- here you can be as independent as possible- so please wash the dishes yourself and bring your own towels.
You can always organize your own activities, too.
Cheers, Nao Saowanee Sangkara

The house is open for you. See you soon in Lamphun.

I am mainly a Filmmaker and writer and I run my FilmsFarmSchool for about 10 years. Together with my parents and changing volunteers we take care of our organic garden, four dogs, wood workshops, treehouses and sometimes kids of the neighbourhood. It is important to us, that our work effects our community positively- we do workshops on sustainable building, develop an community area in Lamphun hospital and currently work on an App that will hopefully support caregivers all over the country in the near future. Lots of projects for you to help and support! Many volunteers have helped me over the years to create this space- building houses in workshops- learning and growing together. We have commonly communicated respectfully. Working hours may vary, depending on the tasks of the day- but usually a full 5 hour day is never exceeded. Maybe one day you help me longer and the other day you will have more time for yourself. I kindly ask for your flexibility. You are welcome to stay from 2 week2 up to 2 months,or longer lets talk about it!

Estuvimos dos semanas en Binsi Film Farm School, tanto Nao como toda su familia son realmente muy amables y nos recibieron bien.
Tuvimos la suerte de coincidir con varios voluntarios y eso hizo mejor la experiencia!
La realidad es que la escuela de ingles solo es los sábados por la tarde, por lo que durante la semana no hay mucho para hacer, simplemente preparar la lección o actividad que quieras enseñar dicho día. Por lo que, en esos días libres, decidimos ayudar al equipo de construcción y ayudamos a revocar paredes.
Y, como varios mencionan, la comida es muy rica y abundante!

My time at Binsi school with Nao and the other volunteers was beyond amazing. Since my arrival I have felt comfortable and relaxed, instantly felt the family environment. Everyone contributes with what they can, including cleaning, preparing and teaching english lessons, building projects, as well as helping Nao’s Mom at the kitchen! Almost everyday we would go to the pool (which is beautiful), relax and talk to each other, creating wonderful memories!
I couldn’t have had a better time, specially as my first volunteer, it definitely made me want to do more!

Good experience to connect with the real Thai people, chilled space and contact with nature. Not for everybody, it’s a bit though cause you lack of commodities. You will be in the jungle. But Nao makes everything as possible for you to enjoy your time there and help according to your abilities. :)

There are few things more rewarding than watching a child a child learn, one of those things is learning from a child. Binsi provides the opportunity for both. If you are willing to get down and dirty building clay houses or cleaning up around the farm or maybe helping build the schools social media presence during the week and then creating and teaching lessons for the students on Saturday and Sunday's this is a great opportunity for you. This facility also promotes relaxation and rejuvenation in your free time. So go for a bike ride, a pool swim, or take a well deserved nap in the hammocks.

Our stay at Binsi was a great experience. The land is beautiful and relaxing just in itself. The tasks we were doing were very varied and there is something to do for everybody. From webdesign and construction work to working with kids and cooking, Binsi has it all!
The food that is cooked by mom was so delicious and rich. I am very thankful for my time there as we got to use our knowledge as well as learn more about our capabilities.
