Located in the untouched region of the Andaman, Baan Krachang, offers the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. You can do as much or as little as you like with no interruptions. Laze the day away day or join local villagers as they go about their daily lives, the choice is yours.
Meals are a culinary delight of traditional Thai favorites, enough to rival any five-star restaurant cooked by the experts themselves, the villagers. You can even learn how to cook Thai food yourself if you can drag yourself away from your book.
Baan Krachang is run by a community-led cooperative of Pak Triam village, a village that was completely destroyed by the 2004 tsunami. With the kind and generous support of L'Oreal, who donated the necessary funds to build Baan Krachang, the villagers have started to rebuild their lives using the eco-friendly resort to supplement their traditional income of fishing and rubber tapping.
