Really unique experience, staying in the most remote village in thailand, between just rice fields. The locals are such lovely people and you really feel welcomed in their community!
I got to work a lot with the children: for e.: teaching english, teaching drums or just doing sports with them!!!
If you love to work with kids and wanna stay in rural Thailand, definetely worth a visit!!!

I had the best experience at volun2thai! Raimond and his family are so kind and welcoming! I felt at home from the minute I arrived. I had so much fun teaching the kids English, eating local foods, and having great conversations around the fire pit at nighttime! 10/10 experience❤️

Caroline is simply wonderful! ❤️ She is kind, social and open-minded and immediately became part of our family and project. She is not afraid to get involved with children, school classes or practical work. She can roll up her sleeves, use tools and simply get things done. The children loved her from the very beginning and connected with her naturally. She also became a very close friend of my daughter Anita. We are truly sad that her stay went by so quickly!

I'm so grateful for the opportunity that Raimund has given me and the kids in the village. Everyone has been so welcoming. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to teach at the school because of the school break; however, the kids came to me instead, which was very sweet of them. It's amazing to see how eager they are to learn even during their holidays. Everything here is clean and lovely. Raimund also always makes sure I have a full tummy throughout the day. Thank you again!

Kun Ping Ping’s kind words and joyful energy brought great happiness to everyone. 💛
Her lessons were creative and full of life, and the kids still talk about her with excitement! Badminton 🏸 and the cake 🎂 were special highlights that made her many little fans.
She created wonderful memories and will always be warmly welcome at Volunt2Thai and in the village. ❤️

Warm regards,
Raimund & Family – Volunt2Thai

From the very first day, I was warmly welcomed by Raimund and his family. His wife, children, and grandparents were incredibly kind and always happy to share their culture, their cooking (you have to like spicy food, but it's delicious 😄), and their sports. A special thank you to Nicolas, Raimund's son, who taught me Muay Thai, introduced me to his friends, and made sure I had a great time outside the organization.

Dear Loric, you were an exceptional volunteer who left a lasting impact at Volunt2Thai. With dedication, warmth, and creativity, you inspired the children through English and sports lessons, giving them confidence and joy beyond the classroom. Always ready to help, you supported renovations, cleaning, and cooking — your delicious meals were a highlight! Your positive energy and kind nature made you a beloved part of our community. We are deeply grateful and wish you all the best for your future.

I was made to feel welcome as soon as I arrived! Raimund made sure I knew where everything was and how everything functioned within the camp. I was the only volunteer there for my first week but Raimund made it easy for me to settle in without too much pressure in the classroom or with my patients. If you're looking for a peaceful Worldpackers experience away from the chaos of Bangkok noise this is the place for you! He has 3 kids but they were amazing, and Anita his daughter, I would have stayed an extra month just for her. She's hilarious and has such a generous personality -11 going on 20

Dear Laura, thank you very much for your kind words. You were really very nice to the patients and gave the people a lot of love. It was also nice to see you working with the children. You always had the children's hearts on your side ❤️. We are very grateful that you gave us your time. I think many people here will remember you as a very friendly and positive person. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for Volunt2Thai for the children and patients. Much joy, health and happiness to you.
