Ban Rai Kong Khing
Ban Rai Kong Khing Community Tourism Club
A village that hosts visitors itself, through DASTA — the government body for sustainable tourism. This is not a drive with stops along it: you drive out once, and then the day happens on foot inside the village. What is listed below is the programme the community runs, in their own words.
The drive out is the only driving. Everything below happens in the village, on foot or by bicycle.

Yum Khang: A Traditional Massage Therapy
Have you ever been massaged with someone's feet? Yum Khang is a traditional massage therapy technique that can be used to treat or heal pain in the body. The massager dips their feet into a solution (water, plai or sesame oil) before stepping on a heated stone, after which they press against tense and ailing body parts of the person being massaged.
