Testimonials
“Our stay with Alain and Fon was so nice. Alain is passionate by eco building, he is a great teacher, patient, sharing tips and experiences. We felt lucky to be there to learn about Adobe bricks … Alain was also really carring, about the food quality (full of tastes and energy breakfast, Thaï food for lunch and dinner), or the quality of our resting time.
The time spending with Fon was full of colors and discoveries : Thai cuisine and drinks (she is such a good cook), her passion for painting. We could feel that Alain and Fon tried as much as possible to make our stay pleasant.
We are sure that the training center will welcome nice projects and participate to a better world. We wish you the best for your projects ! Thanks again” – Yohann and Cécile (France)
