RE-WILD

our open Zouk Community space in Pai

If any of you plan to spend winter in Asia...

we have a place in Pai (northern Thailand) and will spend January and February 2026 there.

We invited a few zoukers to join us for :

co-live, co-work, do yoga, train and dance zouk, anyone is free to share what they want.

We have a kitchen (self-organisation), a yoga shala, a dance place and seven houses to share.

Warmer weather, amazing Thai food, beautiful nature and ZOUK every day is possible.

You can stay as long as you want, if our place is full you can just rent something nearby. It’s closed for the public.

If it resonates with you, let us know.

Much love

Neli & Viktoria

Recommondation for SIM-Card:

We recommend AIS provider, 30 days, 70 GB, unlimited calls: 350 baht (in any 7/11, cheaper then 7 days at the airport).

You will not find this prices at the airport (there just use their free WiFi).

At the airport they sell more expensive versions for tourists, they are great of course, just more expensive; unless you want esim - then airport is a good choice.

There are also other providers such as True or dTac - they say True is better than dTac.

There will be Internet at our place but it is good to have your own as well in any case.
