After years of living in the fast-paced, crowded chaos of Bangkok, we Boom and Eric finally making a big move: trading traffic jams and concrete for fishponds and fresh vegetables in the quiet countryside of Chumphon Buri.
This isn’t just a change of scenery. It’s a lifestyle shift. A bold step into something more real, more sustainable, and deeply personal.
Why We’re Leaving the City
Bangkok has been good to us. It’s where we built our life together, where we’ve worked, grown, and learned. But it’s also exhausting. The noise, the pollution, the constant grind it wears on you. We started craving something simpler. Something slower. Something with purpose.
That’s when we started thinking seriously about the Buying land close to Boom’s family in Chumphon Buri, in rural Surin Province. It’s peaceful, fertile, and full of potential. It felt like the right place to build something new from the ground up.
What We’re Building
We’re not just moving to the countryside to sit under mango trees (though that does sound nice). We’re building a working farm—Ban Rahan Fish & Greenery Farm.
Here’s the plan:
- Aquaculture: We’ll be raising freshwater fish, focusing first on tilapia and catfish.
- Hydroponic Vegetables: Inside a custom-built plastic grow tent, we’ll grow leafy greens like Lettuce and herbs, all without soil.
- Off-Grid Solar: Our 10kW solar system and battery bank will power the entire farm, reducing costs and our footprint.
- YouTube Channel: We’re documenting the whole process, successes and screwups included, so others can learn, laugh, and maybe even be inspired to take their own leap.
The Big Picture
We’re not doing this because we’re dreamers. We’re doing it because we’re tired of waiting for the “right time” that never comes. Not only that, but we want to grow our own food, live closer to nature, and spend our days doing something meaningful.
This is about freedom. Independence. And figuring out what it means to build a life that actually makes sense.
