Why Villa-Asia programs in Thailand Asia?



A question I still get very often.

My answer, almost standard, is: "If you keep doing what you always did you get what you got."

If you really want to engage yourself in a transition, it requires to come out of your comfort zone and go f
are away from your daily activities. You have to choose other approaches to look at issues, make an inner journey, and especially start with feeling and listening to your inner voice instead of almost exclusively think and be in your mind.

What we do within the Villa-Asia programs cannot (optimal) succeed in the Netherlands nor in Belgium or for example Greece or Spain. All participants who have experienced one of our programs or buddy-trajectories wholeheartedly endorse this meaning.

We palpable make use of the flora and fauna, surroundings, culture (Buddhism), the time difference, the facilities in the Northern part of Thailand (for instance waterfalls) and the influence of untouched soil and great energy present.

We conscious offer a unique location in the north-west of this beautiful country, near Burma (Myanmar). A unique location in our eyes away from mass tourism. Just another temporary (comfort) zone along with an appealing program and a fantastic guidance and care.

Thailand, the land of smiles. Friendly and helpful people who still accept and respect (also in terms of religion) people around.  A safe destination with little to no crime.
In Mae Rim, Chiang Mai province, the climate is tropical all year round. The average daytime temperature is between 20 and 35 ° C. There is space, clean air, no crowds and you will find real peace yet.

Our ‘Villa-Asia’ there has an impressive natural environment and offers a range of attractions and activities. Of tropical forests, mountains, waterfalls, many mountain streams, rivers, lakes, hiking, temples, canoeing, rafting, golf, tennis, horseback riding, swimming, cycling, moped / motorcycle, and not forget the exotic plants but also animals such as elephants, tigers and beautiful birds. In our programs we make use of various options.

At about 25 km is the center and the airport of Chiang Mai. The second city of Thailand with a large regional function, day and night markets and nightlife. A city that never sleeps.

Health care is a high level, very similar to the western standards. There are 3 hospitals in the area. The care is excellent (and inexpensive). Incidentally, it strikes us that the climate and the environment often make a positive contribution in any western health. Many health problems do not occur or less.

For us, the Mae Rim place with a super sense of our diverse range of programs 2012 - 2013 to our participants of Villa-Asia can offer.

With great pleasure we look forward to meet you to join.

Vicious circle




Vicious circle

 


If I keep looking
As I always have looked
I keep thinking
As I always thought.

If I keep thinking
As I always thought
I continue to believe
As I always believed.

 If I continue to believe
As I always believed,
I continue to do
As I've always done.

 If I keep doing
As I've always done
Everything will happen to me
 Like it always did.

But if I close my eyes
And feel my true self inside
Then I’ll come out of the circle
And I can always start again.
