Thailand has become a popular destination for eco-tourists due to its exceptional mountainous landscape, pristine waterfalls, and lush forests. The Thai Ecotourism And Adventure Travel Association (TEATA) promotes sustainable tourism practices in the country, and The Charms of Isaan Life is one of their green itineraries designed to promote socio-ecological tourism. Thanthamfarm Cafe & Workshop, located in Loei, is an excellent example of eco-agrotourism that has adopted an integrated farming system from the sufficiency economy philosophy of King Bhumibol Adulyadej into its principle business practices. Founded by a local millennial, Thanthamfarm Cafe & Workshop engages in advocating environmentally and socially responsible products and services, uses organic ingredients for its cafe and workshop activities, and promotes low-waste practices. The highlight activities at Thanthamfarm Cafe & Workshop include planting, cooking classes, farm-to-table dining, relaxing by the river, free-range duck farming, and promoting the agriculture sector. The farm emphasizes a natural approach, outdoor activities, and learning by doing to enable visitors to reconnect with nature and spend quality time with their families. Thanthamfarm also offers tailored programs for observational study activities for both children and adults as well as public and private sectors.

The farm's founder's future vision is to develop and expand a "Wellness Ecotourism and Farm stay" business in Loei, Thailand, transforming daily food into medication. She wants to turn it into a farm stay where people can experience nature, learn how organic vegetables are beneficial to the body, how to eat better than before, and how to bring more local herbs to cook with. Thanthamfarm Cafe & Workshop aims to attract visitors who share common values and establish a solid brand reputation as a sustainable business. Despite this, they will continue to implement sustainable business practices, assist the local community, and strive to be the destination for all generations in Loei province who wish to reconnect with nature and learn about the region's gorgeous
