Full of energy & always willing to lend a hand. It was great hosting Felipe, was good behind the Bar & good at interacting with guest. Wish him the best for further travels & he'll always have a place at Lazy House.

I was really excited about this experience but it was not as I was expecting. 1) Wyinoo who speaks with you through the website was not there to explain how everything works and had no plains to get there in the following days. 2) the guys that were at the foundation when I got there did not speak english at all. So the commucation was really hard and was not possible to know the schedule. 3) 200BHT must be paid which is supposed to go for the cleanning, but the bathroom and kitchen was really dirty and the bed is really unconfortable.

Thank you for feedbacks. We just talked about this poor communication for this Bangkok base. We will try to resolve it by hiring Full time staff or some people to help volunteers. January , We will had one English speaking volunteer to live here and assist the new volunteer. PS. We are running this works by using freelance staff who did not get Salary. We want to make our cost to be minimum as we want to let our 2,000 students in our schools partners to had chance to learn English with minimum cost. We are welcome all feedbacks to improve our feedbacks. Winyoo Online Coordinator .

About me as an author

Viciado em viagens e esportes, sai do interior de São Paulo em 2007 e me mudei para a capital para fazer faculdade/trabalhar e por lá fiquei. Após alguns anos trabalhando (com algumas promoções) em grandes empresas multinacionais de bens de consumo na área de suprimentos e depois marketing (área que seguirei o resto da vida), aos 30 anos de idade larguei o famoso "tudo", comprei uma passagem só de ida e cai no mundo. Resultado: Descobri que o famoso "tudo"pra mim é quase nada. Eu viajo para se auto-desenvolver, para conhecer novas pessoas, lugares, culturas e acredito que a vida fica muito melhor quando você está cercado de pessoas que entra na nossa vida para somar e lugares que nos faz acreditar que nada é impossível. Um cara que acredita que menos é mais, compartilhar experiências é sensacional e que o tempo é a coisa mais valiosa que temos na vida, portanto cabe a nós fazermos que o nosso tempo seja o mais foda possível.
