Koh Ra Ecolodge

After booking our tickets last week, I decided to terrorize the web to see what out of this world adventures exist out there. With no particular insite, I stumbled upon an independent wwoofing site that had a posting for "unique opportunity", being in the market for a unique opportunity I decided to read on.

"The Koh Ra Ecolodge is located in the Andaman Sea of southern Thailand. If you are looking for a truly unique nature experience in Thailand, then we invite you to stay with us on Koh Ra and explore the pristine jungle, private beach, coral reefs and hidden bays of this amazing island. Our goal is to offer guests a simple yet comfortable place to stay in the heart of the most natural stretch of coastline remaining in Thailand, and the closest island to world-renowned Surin National Park. We strive to do this in a way that is sustainable and responsible by helping protect and even improve the local environment and provide benefits to the local communities that depend on the natural resources here."

HEEERRREEE's Johnny.!!!
They are looking for a caretaker May-October, seemed like the sort of adventure that we were looking for, being stuck on an island during "rainy" season in Thailand. First thing that crossed my mind was Jack Torrence. For those of you who have no idea who that man is, he is the kind hearted star of the book/movie "The Shining". A loveable husand, a role model father, one can only hope to turn out as great as him. Watch out Keri.. Just hoping bartender Lloyd will be present.

On a sersious note, we have contacted Kim Obermeyer head of Ecolodge on the island Kho Ra and he has given us his initial interest is us to become sole caretakers of the island for 4 months. If all works out Keri and I will work on the island in exchange for housing and hopefully food. Since this is just an initial interest we have not gone over specifics on what is included in the opportunity.

To busy at work to write anymore
