HIGHLIGHTS
Sawadee Krup, we are the Watasittikul family and we run this rice farm for 4 generations. It is named after our great-grandfather who was respectfully called Tiger by all the Karen villagers. The legend is that Tiger was a brave man who fought with and killed a tiger who wandered into the village to hunt for prey. It is a legendary story told to every generation of our family so no one will forget the origin of the name of our land. In 2007 we opened up our farm to guests so that they could learn about the rice farming process and experience life of a farmer family.

We went to Kitt's farm twice, once for the harvesting season once for the rice planting season. We had unforgettable experiences! Especially for our child it was such a memorable experience: catching crabs in the stream, fishing in the pond, night rat hunting, planting the rice in the muddy paddy fields, etc. These experiences have left him more appreciative of nature. An experiential learning experience that is beyond the classroom. Kitt and his family were so hospitable and friendly and the food was amazing. We definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to experience something different!
When I arrived in Chiang Rai I called Kitt. Not knowing that Chiang Rai has 2 bus stations and that I got off just one station too early. Without any complain he came to pick me up. This small gesture made a big impact on me. A perfect start for a couple of days on his farm.The farm is located in between the mountains with a beautiful view over the rice fields. In the evening we did (let say they did) some rice beating. We filled the breaks with some rice wine and fried squid. After the guys were finished we got a lovely meal from Kitt’s mom. The next morning Kitt took me for a small hike to show me his land with rice fields, banana plantations, coffee trees, a meditation place and the river he gets his water from. He told me about his love for nature and that we need to take care of it. That they we also went to the Lahu tribe village close to the farm to see how the people live. We even got invited for a tea and the lady of the house insisted us to take some food. Again Asian hospitality at its best. If you are not looking for luxury, but want to stay at a lovely, warm place in the middle of nature then this place is a must visit.
