We met in 2021 while traveling in a Karen hill tribe homestay called Ker Lee Glow. Since the end of March 2024, we have been traveling together and sharing this journey through life. We consider ourselves experience designers, creating meaningful events and overnight experiences across Thailand. Each experience is inspired by the people we meet, the places we visit, and the stories we encounter. Every experience is unique because every person and place has its own distinct qualities. We also provide customised experiences shaped by what people truly desire.
Traveling is not just a pastime for us; it’s the way we live and learn. Through our journey, we have discovered that we can serve as a bridge—connecting people to one another and to nature. We believe in letting things unfold naturally through the activities we design, creating space for connection and reflection. Over the past year, we have spent most of our time in northern Thailand, particularly enjoying our stays with hill tribe families. We have learned from their simple way of life, which exists in harmony with nature. This experience has beautifully and humbly shifted our perspective on life.
Tangmo is a Thai artist whose work is deeply rooted in community connection, ecological awareness, and personal storytelling. Born to a farming family in the easten coastal region of Thailand, she studied Art Education at university and her creative journey began through years of hands-on work across Thailand, where she served as an education coordinator and later as a project manager for responsible tourism and community development initiatives on Samui Island and in Chiang Mai. From 2014 to 2018, she worked closely with local schools, elephant care centers, and hill-tribe communities—especially the Karen people—whose ancestral knowledge and close relationships with elephants profoundly shaped her worldview.
In 2019, Tangmo left the corporate sector to explore these themes more independently. She began sharing her experiences and insights through writing and small community actions, raising funds to support elephant welfare and local mahouts during the COVID-19 crisis. This period of self-directed learning laid the foundation for her transition into art-making.
In 2021, she launched PRATABJAI, a painting project inspired by fleeting moments, emotions, and personal encounters during her travels. Starting with hand-drawn images, the project evolved into DIY coloring sets and custom-made designs created in collaboration with others—turning art into a form of shared healing and memory-making. Tangmo’s work is characterized by soft, impressionistic gestures and abstract forms, often made using reclaimed materials and natural pigments.
Alongside her art, Tangmo continues to contribute to alternative education, permaculture, and community-based experiences. She has facilitated creative workshops in rural and coastal settings, where painting becomes a tool for reflection and emotional expression. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or participating in collective events like Ting Tae Kep ("Let Go, But Keep"), Tangmo’s practice is an ongoing exploration of how art, nature, and dialogue can gently transform how we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
Nakrapas Mahom is a Bangkok-born artist and facilitator whose work explores emotional openness, communal reflection, and the value of simple living. After years of solo travel across Thailand—funded through an unexpected start in shrimp medicine sales — Mahom immersed herself in the everyday rhythms of rural life. Her time living with villagers and participating in local traditions, such as rice harvesting with the Karen community in Chiang Mai, deeply shaped her understanding of belonging, slowness, and care.
In 2023, she created her first immersive retreat, Peace Addict Lv.3, a 3-day experience in a forest home in Mae Chaem, designed to reconnect participants with nature and local food practices. That same year, she founded ThruToThought_Bar, a gentle, open-ended space where strangers gather to talk, reflect, and share emotions without judgment. With themes drawn from everyday life, this ongoing project offers a space to feel heard, accepted, and transformed—sometimes with snacks or drinks, always with presence.
Through her projects, Mahom builds quiet containers for connection, recognising that healing often starts with simply being listened to.
