I really liked my stay at the Spicy Villa because the place is beautiful and the work wasn‘t that hard. We were also a lot of volunteers so it was very fun to hang out. I loved the food an the cooking with Tawan!

This place was really beautiful and the food was usually very good. Tawan was really kind and easy to get along with. The elephant sanctuary next door did not seem very ethical and I never really knew how to help out because the owner barely spoke to me, even when responding to my questions. I felt a little awkward and confused during working hours, especially when the villa owner was there. But I got to stay in a bungalow with an outdoor shower that overlooked a valley and a mountain. Overall I found that the positives far outweighed the negatives, so I would recommend this experience.

Good experience, you are in the nature and get in touch with it. Tawan is the best cook and he is really helpful. He teaches you a lot about gardening.

Fue mi primer voluntariado y la verdad que no me pudo ir mejor, todas las reseñas que dicen que Tawan es el mejor cocinero es verdad, todo lo que cocina es delicioso y siempre te está haciendo probar cosas nuevas y aprendes bastante, las tareas que realice no fueron nada del otro mundo, siempre tienes que estar dispuesto a ayudar porque siempre hay alguna cosita que hacer, es un ambiente muy lindo y a ellos les gusta aprender también de tu cultura 🫶🏻 aprenderás mucho de la vida de los locales ahí y de Tailandia en general 🇹🇭 100% recomendado, Nun y Twan son los mejores, we les extraña 💔

This is truly a wonderful experience in the north of Thailand for anyone looking to meet people from all parts of the world, use creativity to decorate an ecolodge, eat amazing local food, and occasionally hear elephants at the sanctuary adjacent.
