After a 2 hour ride it’s time to check-in at Kho Khiao Homestay and farm. Take some time to get settled and soak in the beautiful surroundings of this family-run haven in a traditional Isaan village before enjoying your first home-cooked meal at the homestay. After lunch you can choose to relax and soak in the beautiful mountain views, or you can participate in several farm activities like collecting eggs, tending to the cattle or harvesting seasonal fruits and vegetables. Your guide and tour leader are also happy to show you around in the village by bike and/or take you up the nearby mountain for a beautiful hike to a cave and the local temple with stunning views of the area.
