From December 2 to 20 I will attend a Permaculture Design Course at the Panya project in the northern part of Thailand. There there are day temperatures of 32C, but night temperatures of 10C (brrrr), and ..... I will camp in a cheap small tent!, which I will give away to a child or so after the course is finished.
See this video of the permaculture place, the surrounding mountains and the view, the Thai people, as well as impressions of what permaculture is about. From humanure toilets to edible forest (matskog) and how to make the land on a mountain slope, so that it holds water, important in a warm climate.
Now that I have a little bid heavy tent with me, I am in the position of camping on a deserted island :) So after my stay on the touristic island Ko Lanta, I ask a boat agency with snorkling tours to leave me on such an island, Ko Rok. The park rangers of Ko Rok nature reservate control what happens on this island, rent out tents, and there is a restaurant for the snorklers, so I wont starve there, but there wont be a lot of things to do except snorkling and walking or swimming around the island. Probably no wifi either, but I read some rooms are build this year. With the same boat agency I go back about a week later. On the way back and forth by boat I will snorkel at some other islands.
Normally I spend my winters to better my health in only hot temperatures. This is the first time for me to feel the effects of cold nights in the tropics. To be sure I have a warm finish I will spend my last week on the island Ko Kut (also called Ko Kood) near the Cambodian border.
Hope you sent me a word back once in a while my friends; you can do that in the comment field down here or in an email. Always good to share new memories.
