Mae Sot is a small farming town in Western Thailand, right on the border with Karen State, Myanmar. Over the years, it’s grown into a unique and complex place — a crossing point, a safe haven, and a home for many people displaced by conflict, instability, and economic hardship in Myanmar. Because of this mix, Mae Sot has become a kind of meeting ground, where different communities, cultures, and stories come together. That’s why we chose to base ourselves here — to be close to the people whose voices often go unheard, and to create space for storytelling that reflects the reality of life along the border.
