Hello!

I will be helping my cousin run a homestay in Khorat Province! Please message us at [email protected] for more information and check us out on Facebook:

Duoy's homestay is a place for those who are looking to experience Isarn at it's finest. With a prominante Muay Thai gym just five kilometers away this is also a great place for those looking for a bed away from the gym. Motorcyle rental available, WIFI, tour packages to near by sacred sites such as Prasat Hin Phimai and Phanom Rung. Become part of the family, go to temple, take part in Nang Boon! Plus, depending on time of year take part in the many celebrations of the area such as Songkran, Loy Kratong. the Rocket Festival, the Kite Festival, and the lesser known Phrachao Yai Wat Hong Homage.

Duoy's family are also prominate silk markers in the area, learn about this time honoured tradtion and get to purchase directly from the artisans.

-Meals and laundry service provided.
-Own room or shared space.
-Staying with Isarn family.
-Go fishing or farm rice.
-Healthy home cooked meals.
-Pick up from Bangkok available.
-Bus to Khorat, Buriram, or Phutthaisong and we will come and get you!
-Near by restaurants and noodle shops.
-Seven Eleven and Amazon Coffee just 7KM away!

What does this has to do with BKK? (IN BKK there are at least 100+ guesthouses much closer to a Muay Thai gym/training).

LOcation should be explained better-in town, how far out? transport options??

Sorry Asanee, new to the forum. Was thinking that people in Bangkok might be looking to experience Isarn and get out of the city.

The homestay is about 6 hours from Bangkok in Khorat Province and is close to Prasat Hin Phi Mai, and Phanom Rung. We offer pick up from Bangkok, or those interested can contact us as there is a bus from Mo Chit that comes within 5KM of the village which we would then pick you up.

Sounds like a nice experience for someone new to Thailand. Not long ago I was looking at the Lonely Planet website (lonelyplanet.com), and someone had posted that they would like to visit a non-touristy area of Issan. Your cousins place sounds like what they were looking for so you might go to the LP website, click on Thorn Tree then go to the Thailand thread and post your homestay particulars there. You may get better responses there then on TV. Or ask the mods to move your post to the travel thread. Good luck.

Indeed. I'd say most people here have their own 'homestays' every night. LP would be a better bet, but put the link in your profile....

Spaniel and Heavydrinker, thank you for the help! Much appreciated!
