About the host
Nick and Lora, passionate travelers, have forged their path in close collaboration with local communities, promoting sustainable tourism that protects natural environments and values local life. From stays at eco-lodges and tours of the organic tea plantations at Araksa Tea Garden to boat trips on the waters off Phuket or the Chao Phraya River, each experience invites you to discover Thailand from a more mindful perspective.
Every trip contributes to the well-being of local communities, the preservation of their traditions, and the protection of the environment, offering a more meaningful way to explore the destination.
We believe that a place truly reveals itself when experienced as it is, not as a reconstructed version. That is why we design experiences that offer an authentic, respectful, and deeply connected glimpse into Thai rural life—one that embraces its ecological, cultural, and social dimensions.

More information about the location
Araksa Tea Garden is a tea plantation located in the foothills of the Banchang Forest, in the Mae Taeng district of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Situated at an elevation of 520 meters and spanning 111 acres, this boutique tea garden is dedicated to producing high-quality organic tea. It is also the first tea garden in Thailand to hold organic certification for both its farm and factory under U.S. and European Union standards.
This place is part of the country’s tea history. For over a decade, the plants have grown without exposure to pesticides or chemical fertilizers. After lying fallow for more than 15 years, the garden was revived in 2014 and renamed Araksa. Today, it is flourishing once again as a thriving project that produces high-quality organic tea leaves.
