Colours of Life

Experiential journal of adventures, travels and vacations of the Yongs in their quest to experience the wonders of Nature, the richness of different cultures, the wisdom of the ancient, the mystics of the unknown, and the colours of life.

 

The Yongs at Bamboo ExperienceWe are a family of adventurers, nature lovers and experience architects.

Living life 100%, moment by moment. Let bliss flow in, through and out of us, as a family, always.

We believe that experiences shape the internal lens through which we see our external world. How we see people, things and events determines how we perceive and feel about them. To the degree we are able to experience connectedness with others is the degree of happiness, joy and peace that we are able to experience within ourselves. Thus, we embark on a journey to seek Oneness with everyone and everything in the world, for we are all One.

We write about our adventures here for two reasons: firstly to remind ourselves of our own experiences, and secondly to share them with like-minded friends. It's our aspiration to live and enjoy dabbing a full spectrum of colours on our own canvas of life, and share the colours with others.

It was such an enriching experience that we've designed and launched Tigerlandricefarm.com with the Watasittikul family to promote back-to-nature experiential eco-vacation for families, students and teachers to experience rice farming. More...
