Heimat = Home place

Heimat Gardens opened it's doors in January 2007.

It has been the result of a 15 year dream of mine to open a guest house on Koh Yao Yai. I have a large amount of those years away from the island working in the hotel industry in Italy.

I am fluent in Thai, German, English, I can speak a tiny bit of Italian. I am passionate about gardening, nature, and good cuisine.

Feel free to come and learn more about real Thai culture. I can always be found somewhere in the gardens!

"I have always wanted to share the beauty of this island with people from around the world. We have a lot to offer people who are looking for an un spoilt escape...

You know I look good!
... Our aim is to bring people closer to Thailand's wonderful forest and coastal habitats, whilst still enjoying the luxury of western standards."
