longer stays are preferable, because you need time to get to know the jungle.

You will have an American breakfast in the morning and delicious Thai or local food for lunch and dinner.
You will work only 50% of the time, so you have plenty of time to discover the city and its nightlife

Or you may prefer the surrounding jungle you can easily reach by bicycle or motorbike.
You can also just enjoy Anaconda Lodge with its swimmingpool, nearby lake, library with books about

You will learn a lot about the jungle (ecology, spotting animals, canoeing and fishing, handling a machete,
medicinal plants, ecological tropical agriculture, jungle survival and you may even learn goldmining,
