  CONFERENCES & SEMINARS

A local  NGO health group involved in a serious exchange beside the pool with one of their  
leaders. We pride ourselves on the diversity of the themes, people and interests we host.

Baan Hom Samunphrai is an ideal location for groups up to 20 who want to work with their own leaders or teachers--yogins, therapists, activists, traveling players, artisans of the body, mind or spirit--or if you just need a quiet, sympathetic space in which to pursue your group's special interests or issues. Although we are located in a rural area and are surrounded by beautiful countryside, we don't pretend to be a mountain retreat or jungle hermitage--we're just 9 kms from the centre of a bustling Asiatic city, after all! Of course we appeal to groups that work best in natural and harmonious surroundings, but our sort of people also know they need the complexities and, yes, ambiguities of real life to keep them sane. So if you choose us you will probably also want to explore the Night Bazaar, ride an elephant, or have a new dress made for you (almost certainly in local Thai silk!) while you're meditating. Some want to see the sunrise from Chiang Mai's holiest temple on Doi Suthep mountain--others to head out for a cold beer, a plateful of som tam (spicy papaya salad), and an earful of luk tung  (Thai Country Music!).

Despite our simplicity, we are well-equipped to handle Conferences for       We also welcome musical, theatrical or performance groups as well. Here Kru Nym,   
up to 20 persons--we provide wifi, two stationary computers with printers,     a well-known Thai master, leads a group of western as well as Thai students learning     
Skype, a power-point projector, a sound system, and module tables.            to play classical South East Asian instruments.                                                                

And we're much, much cheaper than most resort hotels: we offer simple wooden farmhouses, comfortable bedrooms, screened work spaces, and three delicious meals with tea, coffee and snacks at all hours all for 1000 baht ($30.00) per person per day. At this price transportation, steam baths, and massages can't be included, but we are very pleased to quote special package arrangements, and many groups choose to include daily transportation to the city, unlimited use of our bicycles, use of the pool and steam baths. We offer the latter to 10+ groups for 600 baht ($18.00) per session, for example--our usual rate for a steam bath is 200 baht ($6.00) per person! We can provide full seminar facilities for up to 20 at tables with a power-point projector ($60.00 per day), video ($45.00 per day), stereo, wifi everywhere, ADSL, and two fixed computers. Ask us for quotes for longer stay groups too, and for even greater reductions if you can persuade us your cause is valuable and you really can't manage our rates.

   Natural eating can also be gracious--and of course delicious. This is a vegetarian      Groups are also treated to traditional evenings where the whole Baan Hom
