The residents of Ban Na Ton Chan, a picturesque village in rural Sukhothai, have formed a worthwhile and award-winning homestay programme. Approximately 15 households are involved, and the fee includes breakfast and dinner (for lunch you can try kôw þóep, a local noodle dish), and involvement in daily activities such as cooking, furniture-making and weaving.
The locals are keen to open their homes and share their knowledge, but it must be noted that most speak little English.
The village is 15km east of Rte 101, down a signed turn-off north of Ban Hat Siaw. A motorcycle taxi from Ban Hat Siaw will take people here for 150B.
