Je me sens tellement chanceux de pouvoir vivre mon premier volontariat au refuge, avec Mill, Rose et Uttama. Tout d'abord, Mill est un merveilleux hôte. Je me suis senti tellement bien accueilli dès la première minute, et il a tout fait pour m'accommoder de la meilleure façon, tout en me montrant beaucoup de la culture thaïlandaise. Nous avons eu les meilleures conversations. Sa sœur Rose est si douce et une cuisinière incroyable. Uttama était si amusant de travailler avec, même si nous ne parlons pas la même langue. Le refuge est magnifique, et les animaux sont si doux et bien pris en charge. Merci beaucoup pour ce voyage incroyable. Je reviendrai !

C'est la deuxième fois que je fais du bénévolat ici. C'est toujours un tel plaisir de travailler dans cet environnement, et la nourriture est toujours délicieuse. Mill est toujours désireux de vous faire découvrir de nouvelles facettes de la culture thaïlandaise. Songkran est toujours très amusant, et les animaux sont toujours adorables. Je recommande fortement cette opportunité de bénévolat si vous cherchez une expérience unique et immersive dans la culture thaïlandaise !

J'ai passé ici le moment le plus incroyable ! J'ai rencontré des personnes aimables et merveilleuses qui ont rendu l'expérience inoubliable. Les animaux de la ferme sont si amusants avec lesquels on peut être et aider à prendre soin d'eux. C'est un endroit magnifique et une grande expérience que je recommanderais à quiconque aime la nature et les animaux. Il a été très difficile de partir !!!

Le meilleur projet dans lequel j'ai jamais été; Mill est un hôte incroyable, non seulement pour offrir toute l'attention dont un bénévole pourrait avoir besoin, mais pour aller bien au-delà de ce que ressemble un projet. Dès le premier jour, je me suis senti accueilli, au point que nous n'avons même pas commencé à travailler sur le terrain, car il y avait une cérémonie bouddhiste réunissant des centaines de personnes en périphérie d'une ville voisine, ce qui signifiait que j'ai pu voir ce qui se passe vraiment. Les animaux pour lesquels il prend tant soin, la nature environnante, à couper le souffle, les couchers de soleil à couper le souffle, je n'ai pas assez d'espace ici pour tout écrire... Et la nourriture! Mill est un MasterChef!

Mill est un hôte fantastique. Il a toujours été prêt à répondre aux questions et partager sa connaissance de la culture, et nous avons aussi beaucoup ri. Pendant nos jours de congé, il a proposé plusieurs activités.
Sa sœur Rose nous a cuisiné des repas exceptionnels ! Songkran, qui s’occupe des animaux, est très travailleur et amusant. Bien qu’il ne parle pas anglais, il fait tout ce qu’il peut pour que vous compreniez les tâches.
Je recommande cette expérience à quiconque veut une aventure authentique, en étant avec les habitants et les animaux.
Cet endroit me manque déjà ! Merci pour tout ! En espérant vous revoir !

Mal a été un excellent hôte et sa sœur Rose préparait toujours les repas les plus incroyables. Certaines des meilleures cuisines que j'ai goûtées en Thaïlande. Les heures et le travail ne sont pas difficiles et vous avez un impact sur les locaux ce qui est merveilleux. Il est mentalement très difficile de voir les animaux élevés et soignés d'une manière très différente de l'Angleterre / Europe, donc c'est quelque chose à garder à l'esprit si vous êtes un amoureux des animaux. C'est un endroit très rural avec peu à explorer localement, alors préparez-vous pour cela; Mal vous mènera volontiers à l'épicerie locale et à de beaux restaurants pour de la nourriture thaïlandaise, mais sinon votre temps est à la ferme.

In the middle of the experience (Days 3 and 4), the group will stay at a dome-style temporary accommodation within a National Park, which can host 8-12 people. All lodging is within walking distance of the activities, offering dedicated workspaces and shared bathrooms that are kept absolutely clean, though they only have cold showers.

Prepare for a culinary journey featuring healthy, locally sourced Thai cuisine. Meals are served buffet-style most of the time, prepared either by the host team at base camp or by local cooks during excursions. The host team handles all lunches and dinners, and breakfast is always served buffet-style. As a special highlight, you can enjoy basic Thai cooking lessons at the base camp. The kitchen is vegetarian-friendly and can easily accommodate various food allergies and restrictions if informed in advance. Additionally, travelers will have open access to a kitchen if they need to prepare anything for themselves.
Arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok and connect with your representative around 12:30 PM, who will take the group directly to the project. Check-in and pickup logistics are fully managed by the host team on arrival day, followed by your immersion, and a direct return shuttle to the airport is included at departure. Full details are in your program guide once your spot is confirmed!
The core of this experience is led by a dedicated individual, inspired by a lifelong passion for service, moral values, and nature. This mission-driven host has channeled their personal journey of inner growth and compassionate action into creating a meditation center and animal sanctuary. This project is a living sanctuary where people can heal, learn, and reconnect with themselves and nature. The host's work is deeply rooted in supporting the local community—transforming the center for traditional festivals, offering free entertainment and food to locals, and providing support, including free therapy, meals, and supplies, to a local artistic school for almost 300 children from low-income families, many of whom are deaf or blind. The local team includes an employee responsible for animal care and basic medical attention, as well as plant and tree maintenance.

Your destination is a stunning, lesser-known stretch of the Riviera Nayarit on the Pacific coast of Mexico. This region is famous for its untouched beaches, lush jungle backdrop, and laid-back, authentic coastal communities. It’s a tranquil paradise, far from the large resorts, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the ocean tides. This immersive location provides the perfect context for deep conservation work and genuine connection with the local culture and pristine nature.
The project’s central challenge is the poor soil condition, which suffers from rapid topsoil erosion during heavy rains. Travelers play a crucial role in tackling this long-standing issue by contributing their labor to build water barriers and assist in transplanting trees into manure-enriched areas. This work is vital for improving the ecosystem and allowing agriculture to flourish. Furthermore, the group's presence provides essential financial support for animal shelter maintenance, food, hay, and veterinary supplies, directly supporting the sanctuary’s mission to care for its animals and serve the surrounding community through charity and cultural events.
Travelers assist the project in its partnership efforts by supporting the expansion of chemical-free livestock raising and kitchen gardens. This model is shared with local villagers through training, helping them adopt sustainable practices, generate good income, and actively work to reduce poverty and social inequality.
Travelers contribute to well-being by helping to grow chemical-free plants at the center. This commitment enhances the natural ecosystem, ensuring animals are safe and that crops, grass, and food remain free from harmful substances, promoting better health for all inhabitants and the wider community.
By supporting the project's agriculture, travelers help create job opportunities for local villagers and government agencies. Growing chemical-free crops allows for premium pricing, directly increasing the income of the villagers and contributing to a more sustainable local economy.
