We are VERY VOCAL about DISCOURAGING animal tourism. They are not toys!! And yet these animals can't be returned to the wild. WE love that they roam relatively freely and it is important to really study the ethics of the various elephant places. This one is run by Karen people we know and the elephants are respected, treasured and well cared for.
Next time you come let's aim for a Hive Meet up!!
Huge thanks for a great and vibrant community! Look forward to publishing the profile after HiveChat this week. 😊

A Thailand hive meetup would be cool. The last time we came was for the wedding of a couple of friends from here. It was far cheaper to have their weeding there for them, and we all got a little holiday at the same time. We'll be back...We like Thailand.
Look forward to that! We can go off road - my Thai herbal business grows herbs with the Karen people along the Burmese border - promise it will be unique and very different from what you see in the cities. I speak fluent Thai and my daughter (as you can see) is half Thai too.
2021 is the year!! I can help you organize a Digital Nomad Hive Summit.
Come on 2021! I'll be glad to see the end of 2020 to be honest, it's been horrible for Faith and I. It sounds like a great plan and with you speaking the language...Even better as we'll have a less touristy experience!
We generally don't do tourist, except when we have pizza cravings 😆 Look forward to it. The Nomad Hive Summit is a serious offer btw. Thailand has just announced a new tourist visa - 3 months for 2,000 baht, renewable x2 for a total of 270 days. Might be long enough to have a jaunt into our village project in Burma. 😊 We are working with the Karen people in Hpa-An too. Now we just need this covid quarantine BS to stop....
That sounds interesting...We still work though so it's not possible to go for that long. We have some commitments here with Faith's mum at the moment too; A secondary cancer thing. It'll keep us here for a little while, but later ion 2021 I think we'll be looking for a break, and the covid thing might be subsiding by then. Hopefully.
