About us

Community
Thai Jungle Life is the dream of a group of 10 villagers, who decided together to build a place where tourists can enjoy trekking, bamboo rafting, and other activities in the jungle, together with local people, discovering our culture, traditions and environment in a rich and respectful way. Often traditional tourism leaves permanent marks on pristine location, destabilizing local communities: people instead of collaborating started to compete. We want to avoid this, that’s why from the very beginning we create ideas, build the place and make all decisions together. We are supported by all villagers, who find themselves confortable with community based tourism and mutual aid aiming at improving the lives of local people and protect nature. Most of us works as farmers, we have rubber and palm tree plantations, which are our basic source of income. Beside that, we spend our time on fishing and growing organic food, which we use just for our needs.

Our leaders 

Tua (also called Pot) – experienced guide and renown throughot Khao Sok National Park. He grew up in the jungle and built many projects connected with the idea of community based tourism among which the Freedom Camp created with the Adventure Team is the most known. Tua has great knowledge and big experience which he willingly shares with others. He initiated the idea of building Wang Khunphrom Ecotourism.

Oy – chief of the village. Since years involved in improving life of local people, three years ago was elected head of the village. As such, he represents villagers in administration meetings with national officers and cares about relations within community. He is the first to react in case of any conflict, first to welcome newcomers and answer daily challenges of local people.
