Unique glamping stay on an organic farm in Kanchanaburi, Thailand
Raijaiyim (smiling heart) is an offbeat glamping farmstay in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Choose from the aptly named Smiley Heart Lake Villa, Boutique Tents, or the Happiness Stations, all of which offer stunning views of the valley and the lake. Food is fresh and organic, with dishes prepared using ingredients from the farm and the local community. You are welcome to join in with preparing meals and learn how to make some traditional Thai recipes. Other activities at Raijaiyim include wandering through local nature trails, biking, canoeing on the lake, or attempting the mini-Everest mountaineering and rock climbing challenge. You can also participate in Raijaiyim’s unique ‘happineering’ programme, which aims to build your emotional intelligence with a Thai smile.
