Saill Rungrueng
“Hailing from Pattaya [southern coastal Thailand], Saill, pursued Urban Planning before a stint as a research assistant focusing on tourism, community development, and social enterprise incubation. Returning home, he ventured into the restaurant business until relocating to the eastern region of Thailand, where farming became his passion. Over three years, he [with his father and mother] has transformed his farm into a bustling farm stay, merging tourism with agriculture [https://www.facebook.com/rkrfarmstay?mibextid=ZbWKwL].
He also takes tourists on community tours. A pivotal year-long trainee exchange program in Okinawa, Japan, specializing in Okra and Strawberry farming, shaped his expertise in farming and community-based tourism. His devotion lies in empowering rural communities rather than policymaking, cherishing the simplicity of rural life over cityscapes. He holds a deep reverence for microorganisms, recognizing their indispensable role in our world and its interconnectedness.”
