Thailand Painting Holidays arts guesthouse on the Mekong River

Closing down

Over the past decade, we have met so many wonderful artists. We have enjoyed their company, developing their art and introducing them to the people and places of wonderful NE Thailand. Everything has to come to an end and we are very sad that we can no longer run the business. Thanks to you all for sharing some of your life and art with us. Jeremy

Our arts guesthouse is on the banks of the Mekong River in a small town completely off the tourist trail in NE Thailand. We only take up to four guests at a time and give them the perfect combination of painting and experiencing the magic of Thailand.

Pa Kham Chanot - Thailand Painting Holidays This is a strange magic beautiful place. The Wat is on an island surrounded by lakes, swamps and rice fields. The island is crowded with magnificent trees. I don't fully understand this place but Waree tells me it is inhabited by spirits and in fact because when she was pregnant she wouldn't go to the place in case they got into the baby.
