Hi friends,
My friends call me Krit but my account name is Kaminchun which is the name of my farm house in Nongkhai. I am in the transition phase between a city dweller and a full-time self-sufficiency villager in the north-east of Thailand. Nongkhai is a small and peaceful border town to Laos, via the Mae Khong River.
This is a magical and rather old place with lots of fantastic legends and mythical stories going back for at least a thousand year. Several years ago, I traveled to see my old friend in Nongkhai. Then, one day I found myself becoming a land owner and starting to build a farm house. I am thinking of building a rain water system in July.
So, I live in Bangkok and do my gardening in Nongkhai. My favourite routine is to walk along the River in the evening and take some pictures. There are so many things to be done on the farm. Luckily I have a very nice local villager to help out weekly. Occasionally, a team of builders would be needed for the heavy work. Living in the countryside is a whole new experience for me.
Friends from the big city could not believe that I could change my lifestyle like this.
It is so nice to be with nature, waking up by the noises of birds quarreling in the trees, having breakfasts while looking at the river, looking at the sunsets, counting the stars at night and walking meditation under the full moon. It is an ideal place to become my little retreat center along the line of the Krishnamurti Center.
The north-east of Thailand (which is called Esan, for short) is full of historical places. I only started to explore Esan during the last two years. There is so much to see and explore in Esan, this will be on my list for next year.
Steemit is fantastic for me, this will force me to learn and acquire new skills, open up a new dimension of living! Looking forward to learning new things, wisdom, knowledge, skills, creativity...
Wishing all members of the community lots of joy and prosperity!
