I had a good time at area 81, the staff are super friendly and welcoming. You quickly feel like a part of a small family with all the other volunteers.

Area 81 quickly became a one of my favorite volunteer experiences. The staff are all wildly friendly and encourage you to bring your skills and talents to the table to help shape the environment. This is an incredible experience for any volunteer, and I highly recommend it. To the Area 81 team, thank you guys for making me feel so at home. Can't wait to come back!

I had an amazing experience at Area 81 Hostel! I met so many great people, and the location is perfect close to all the temples.
May, who organizes the volunteer activities, is super kind and makes everyone feel welcome.

Honestly I was only meant to stay as a guest for a week but ended up staying an extra 10 days as an Activity's Leader. The Owners are great and all the staff are too! The volunteers were cool. I was given a thai name - Dao - because my name was a lil hard to pronounce. It means Star. So cute haha.
I would def recommend this place for a nice mix of party and chill vibes.

Living in such an environment is entirely new and outside my comfort zone, but every member of the staff at this hostel made me feel right at home. It's a great place to socialize and connect with people from different parts of the world, and the job doesn’t feel taxing at all. They are very considerate of your needs and make sure you are well taken care of as a visitor. I also felt that I owed it to them to do my best at the job.
Will come back if I do get another chance. Couldn't ask for a better first Worldpackers experience! :)

I had such a great time at the hostel! The team is simply the best, kind-hearted, caring, and so much fun. They welcomed me right away and made me feel at home in no time, which made the whole experience outstanding. The work itself is fairly easy and a great chance to meet other travelers. Most of the time it didn't even feel like work at all. The schedule is clearly communicated well in advance, but also flexible if you need any adjustments. I'm really grateful for my time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and fun volunteering experience

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
