Every week at Naturemind R&D looks a little different. Activities shift with the seasons, the progress of our projects, the weather, and the needs of interns or professional apprentices working on their personal research. No two weeks are ever the same, but each blends a balance of fieldwork, learning, and community. Alongside core conservation or permaculture activities, a week may include lectures, seminars, personal project time, and opportunities to facilitate impact sessions such as environmental education with local schools. Participants also enjoy shared meals, wellness and extracurricular activities, and expeditions that showcase the landscapes and ecosystems of Krabi. The sample schedule below offers a sense of structure, though your own week will naturally take on its own rhythm.

While every day depends on weather, season, and project needs, most weekdays follow a steady rhythm that balances fieldwork, learning, and time to recharge. Here’s what a typical day with us might look like:

08.00 – Breakfast together

09.00 – 12.00 – Morning project work (forest, mangrove, seagrass, coral, or permaculture)

12.00 – Lunch break with the team

13.00 – 16.00 – Afternoon project work (monitoring, nursery care, community outreach, etc.)

16.00 – wash up and recharge

18.30 – Dinner (self-cooked or provided if late project day)

Evening – Free time

Weekends are yours to enjoy. Krabi is world-renowned for its beaches, limestone cliffs, hot springs, and national parks, and participants often spend weekends hiking, kayaking, or joining cultural activities such as cooking classes, temple visits, or ethical elephant encounters. Others use the time for rest, journaling, or short trips to nearby provinces. Meals and transport on weekends are not included, giving you full flexibility to explore at your own pace.
