Chumphon Cabana 5:06 PM local time


We are now at Chumphon Cabana resort. What an amazing place and we are being so well looked after by our host Khun Varasorn. We nearly didn't make it, caught in Bangkok traffic and arriving barely a minute or so before the train left. We then had a 6 hour train journey to Chumphon and then were taken straight to a village to see a diverse tree cropping organic farm. We were straight into filming on the fly and made plenty of mistakes, but hopefully got some good information.

There is a fascinating case study of community development and resilience here, with interaction between Chumphon Cabana, local farmers and others aimed at creating a truly sustainable future that cares for both land and people.
