Weekend Work Offer – Sept 05

Homestay Reviewers Needed

Want to see more of Thailand for FREE? Want to get out at the weekends?

If the answer is YES to the above, you may be just what we are looking for!

We are a new UK travel operator aiming to enable UK holidaymakers to book visits to Thai homestays as a different way to experience the real Thailand. (Homestays are local Thai people’s houses where the owner agrees to host visitors for an agreed price.)

We are looking for English speakers to visit our homestays as a ‘guest reviewer’. You do not have to speak any Thai. We would particularly welcome applicants living in the North (Chiang Mai; Chiang Rai) and the South (Krabi and Phuket) as well as Bangkok.

We will pay for you to visit a homestay somewhere local to you in Thailand for a weekend (Friday and Saturday night). We need you to take some brief notes and lots of (digital) photos based on our brief and to tell us all about it when you get back. If you like the homestay and would recommend it to people visiting from the UK, your experience may be used to advertise each homestay so they can attract potential bookings.

Your accommodation (including some meals with the family) will be paid for and travel expenses (up to 1500 THB) will be reimbursed to you on receipt of your review.

If you are interested please contact me:

I have to rent out my brand new holiday 3 bedroom teak wood home in Bangkok Taling Chan district.

It's by Thanon Wongwan Rob Nok and by the Klong Bang Tal - 5 minutes drive to South Bus Terminal (towards Kanchanaburi, Cha Am, Hua Hin, Phuket, Krabi and Malaysia) on Thonburi & 15 minutes to Chao Phraya River, Khaosan Rd, the Old King's Palace & the Wat Pho. There is also a frequent bus to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Pictures on request.

lon=100.408499781 longitude

Around are traditional houses with orchards, gardens, peace and clean air.

Suit family with children and animals as the place is safe and has a terrace under the elevated on stilts house.

Goes cheap, even short let - as I can't go on holidays to Bangkok as often as I use to go. At the moment stays there my daughter with her children, but she can move to my sister in law house just the next door.

A much better option of staying in Bangkok than the town centre, with it's noise, pollution, traffic jams and crowds of tourists. In a Taling Chan home-stay you will immerse yourself in a traditional lifestyle and learn a little bit about Thai culture and customs. Walks through the fruit orchards and flower groves make a very challenging experience.

You can feel here like living in the traditional thai village - yet 5 minutes walk is 7/11 shop, cash machine and a daily street market. A short ride there is a famous traditional thai floating market in Taling Chan by the Chakphra Canal.

There are several nice homestays in that area - old thai teak wood houses on stilts just overlooking slowly moving canals. You are in the middle of verdant and vast, lush gardens.

There is nothing comparable to it in the whole of Thailand - a dream student home stay or a holiday accommodation.

Choose complete privacy, making this unique spacious Villa your own. Or allow us to show you the area, cook Thai food for you and introduce you to the ways of life here. Enjoy the luxury of your secluded retreat: an experience unique in the Kingdom!

We will be happy to show you how to cook Thai food, concocting sumptuous dishes you can later recreate at home. Go walking (or take our bicycles) and explore the surroundings, rich in temples & village-like communities, ponds & fish farms, canals and wetlands
