Dear Yogi Nomad,presenting the first of our farm retreats, Kahang Organic Rice Eco Farm or KOREF Resort is one of the most amazing places that you can find near Singapore. Located in an actual working padi rice farm, we have lined up an exciting list of activities for you. Lets check out the accommodation first. This is the newly constructed deluxe chalet. It is rustic and absolutely romantic. There are 4 rooms to house 3 people each with amazing views on each side. There is a central living hall space that you can see where you can relax to a cup of tea (or coffee). You may also go upstairs for a little more privacy to read or just meditate.  The rooms are kept simple, as you should be out there enjoying every bit of what the place has to offer and the friendships to be made.  Here’s what I like the best – Swings. Just imagine what you can do! Ok, so here’s what I like second best – Rafting. You can paddle around on these locally constructed rafts and chill out in your own corner. There’s so much more great things about this place that pictures don’t even do justice to. Lets just get into the programme.5th March 20168am – Gather at the bus stop opposite Sheng Siong Supermarket (Blk 6A, Woodlands Centre Road). Please don’t be late, as we will need to cross the customs. The van will pick us up here. 10am – Breakfast at Kedai Kopi Tang Chuan, well-known for their steamed buns and dim sum. This is done at your own cost. 11am – Board the van.12noon – Arrival at KOREF Resort. Enjoy some fresh fruits.

Briefing for trip is via email 3 days prior. FAQ: 1. Are the activities safe? As long as you are following the rules of the games, you are in safe hands. Having said that, you should purchase travel insurance all the same. 2. Are there mosquitoes? Bugs? Or cockroaches? Yes, there are some mosquitoes. There are fishes kept in the rice ponds, which will eat the mosquitoes larvae. Owing to the rustic nature of the place, you could run into the occasional bug or cockroach. They are well fed by nature and should not disturb you in your room. 3. What type of accommodation is there? Typically, the accommodation type is 6-sharing. However, for your comfort and privacy, the price set is for triple sharing. 4. Can I share a room with my friend(s)? Of course! Just let me know and I’d put you folks together. 5.

Just no massage. You can go on Sunday afternoon though! 6. Is there wi-fi? No. But you can surf via 3G. 7. Can I refund, if I can't make it? Well, we had to reserve a spot for you. If someone else picks up your spot, your refund is definitely possible.
