Who are we!
We are a Family team from the UK and Thailand, united by our shared passion for sustainability and our love for nature. Together, we are on a mission to create an eco-friendly tourist retreat that combines the serene beauty of Thailand with the sustainable practices we’ve learned from our experiences in the UK, whilst providing local eco sustainability projects for the local communities!
Our vision is to build a peaceful sanctuary where guests can reconnect with nature and experience sustainable living first-hand. We’ve already taken a significant step toward realizing this dream by already purchasing 5 acres of beautiful land in Thailand. This land will be the foundation for our retreat, designed to minimize environmental impact while providing a unique, eco-conscious travel experience.
For your donation we will provide free accommodation for your stay depending on your donation/Investment.(Book your dates to secure your vacation)

Affordable Vacation Experience
Affordability is a cornerstone of our retreat concept. We believe that a genuine connection to nature and a commitment to sustainability should be accessible to everyone. To achieve this, we will offer a range of affordable accommodation options that cater to various budgets. From charming eco-lodges to cozy, sustainable cabins, our accommodations will be designed to provide comfort and a memorable experience without breaking the bank.
Concept Image of the Experience
Uthai Thani is an excellent stop for tourists traveling to Chiang Mai. Located conveniently between Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Uthai Thani offers a peaceful and authentic Thai experience, making it a refreshing break from the more tourist-heavy destinations.
Visitors can explore the stunning Wat Tha Sung (Glass Temple), take a scenic boat ride along the Chao Phraya River, and enjoy the province's natural beauty and cultural heritage. With its serene atmosphere, local markets, and unspoiled landscapes, Uthai Thani provides a unique opportunity to experience traditional Thai life, making it a memorable and worthwhile stop on the journey to Chiang Mai.
Uthai Thani is a hidden gem in central Thailand, often overlooked by tourists, which makes it a special destination for those seeking an authentic Thai experience away from the crowds. This charming province is known for its rich cultural heritage, stunning natural landscapes, and tranquil way of life.
Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary
One of the most remarkable features of Uthai Thani is its breathtaking scenery. The province is home to Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts one of Thailand's most significant and well-preserved forest ecosystems. This sanctuary is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, offering the chance to see rare and endangered species in their natural habitat.
Uposatharam Temple
The Chao Phraya River, which flows through the province, adds to Uthai Thani's natural beauty. The riverbanks are lined with traditional stilt houses and lush greenery, providing a picturesque setting for boat rides and riverside strolls.
Wat Sangkat Rattana Khiri
Wat Tha Sung
Culturally, Uthai Thani is rich with historical temples and sites. Wat Sangkat Rattana Khiri, located on Khao Sakae Krang Hill, offers stunning views of the town and is a revered site for local Buddhists. Another highlight is Wat Tha Sung, also known as the Glass Temple, famous for its dazzling, mirror-lined interiors that create a unique and mesmerizing atmosphere.
Uthai Thani is also known for its vibrant local markets, where visitors can sample authentic Thai cuisine and buy handmade crafts. The provincial capital has a relaxed, small-town vibe, where traditional Thai culture is still very much alive.
What makes Uthai Thani truly special is its unspoiled charm and the warm hospitality of its residents. The province offers a rare glimpse into the serene, rural life of Thailand, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking peace, authenticity, and natural beauty.
The Land & Our Project

Conceptualizing the Retreat
Our retreat will be situated on a picturesque 5-acre plot of land that we’ve already purchased in Thailand. This land offers a unique opportunity to blend natural beauty with eco-conscious design. Our goal is to develop this space into a sanctuary where visitors can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, immerse themselves in nature, and experience sustainable living practices firsthand.

3D Concept & Plans currently being developed
Our pricing model will ensure that the retreat remains affordable while maintaining high standards of quality and sustainability. By carefully managing our costs and leveraging local resources, we can offer competitive rates that make a meaningful vacation experience accessible to a wider audience.
Supporting the Local Community
Our commitment to supporting the local community is integral to our vision. The retreat will not only provide jobs but also directly contribute to the well-being of the surrounding area. Here’s how we plan to make a positive impact whilst also on site attributing a section of our on-site restaurant to be a local English school for the local community children.
Job Creation
We will employ local residents in various roles, from hospitality and maintenance to managing our sustainable fish farm & Chickens. This will create stable employment opportunities and provide fair wages, contributing to the economic development of the community, along with the option to benefit from local tour guides.
Sustainable Fish Farm
A key feature of our retreat will be a sustainable fish farm, which will supply fresh, locally sourced food for our guests. This fish farm will also generate additional jobs and promote sustainable aquaculture practices.
Community Programs & Environmental project
We are committed to investing in local children and families living in poverty. Regular donations from our operations will fund programs that provide free meals and educational support. Specifically, we will offer free English lessons and other educational resources to local children, equipping them with valuable skills and fostering a brighter future and organize clean up exercises to make sure any problematic areas for waste are recycled.
Local Artisans and Suppliers
Whenever possible, we will source materials and services from local businesses and artisans. This approach supports local entrepreneurship and ensures that our retreat is deeply rooted in the community it serves.
Design and Sustainability
Our retreat will feature eco-friendly design principles, including the use of sustainable materials, renewable energy sources, and water conservation systems. The accommodations will be designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, creating a harmonious and immersive experience for guests. We will also implement waste reduction practices and promote responsible tourism to minimize our environmental footprint.
A Commitment to Future Generations & Onsite Play Park
Our retreat is not just a project; it’s a commitment to creating a legacy of sustainability and community support. By offering an affordable, eco-conscious vacation option, we aim to inspire guests to embrace sustainable practices in their own lives. Through our community initiatives, we will make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
In summary, our vision is to create a retreat in Thailand that offers an affordable and enriching vacation experience while making a meaningful contribution to the local community. We invite you to join us on this journey to build a sanctuary where sustainability, affordability, and community support come together to create a lasting positive impact.
