Nopp and his family welcomed me into their home and the eco village with open arms. Nopp has taught me so much about cooking and preparing the eco village meals, weaving, spearfishing, farming chillies, hiking mountains and to waterfalls, foraging fruits/vegetables for meals and playing sports/games with the local people. I feel so grateful to have met Nopp and share so many laughs and fun times with him and the eco village people. Nopps kindness&passion for his culture and love for sharing his knowledge, traditions and way of life with me was so special. If you have the chance to stay with Nopp, DO IT.

Absolutely marvelous! I experienced something new and exciting every single day, from the moment I hopped on Nopp's motorbike at the bus stop. Felt so adventurous hiking through the jungle to reach fabulous waterfalls. Nopp is so chill and knowledgeable and fun to talk to. His family is super welcoming, the food is fun to cook and delicious to eat. Volunteer work is very laid back, I helped out with some social media posts for the Homestay. I didn’t want to leave! I miss the feeling of community and peacefulness in the village. 1000% recommend. Room was comfy and private.

The experience in Mae na chang village with Nopp and his family and friends was truly great. We enjoyed working on the chilli farms in the hills around the village, cooking with Nopp and his family and exploring surrounding nature. We have been travelling for almost two months and the two weeks we spent in the village were by far the most unforgettable. Thank you Nopp, Kate and Ondra

I had a wonderful experience staying with Nop and his family in Mae Na Chang. The area is beautiful and peaceful. Nop has an adventurous cheerful spirit and lead us on many memorable adventures that were challenging and exciting like hiking to waterfalls, fishing, and crab catching. I learned a little bit about weaving from his mom who is very kind and talented. We got to know the village by helping out harvesting chilis which was challenging and very rewarding. There were many opportunities to learn about the eco village culture and it felt like we were a part of the family!

I had an amazing stay with Nopp and his family! The other volunteers I met there were all lovely as well. We went farming, hiking, camping, made our own bamboo cups, picked up fresh fruits, cooked and sang together... Definitely an unforgettable experience! Teaching English and playing with the kids from the village was also a highlight for me. Would recommend to anyone looking for adventure far away from the city. I will miss walking around the village and greeting everyone I see. I wish Nopp the best in his future endeavors and hope to be back one day. Tabluh!! (Thanks in the eco village) 😁

Had the most amazing week with Nopp and his family. I will truly never forget my time there. I was so welcomed and looked after. I have never worked on a farm or lived rurally before but Nopp made feel so safe and encouraged me that I was capable even when I was outside of my comfort zone. I enjoyed cooking and weaving with Nopp's family and have so many funny memories that I will remember forever.

I met Nopp 3 years ago in Chiang Mai and when I told him I was coming back to Thailand, he directly invited me to his village. He is a generous and kind person who loves the simple life of his village. This is experience is perfect for anyone who wants to live a local the eco village experience. Everybody in the village was very welcoming and sweet to me. The food was very good and they made sure I always eat more than enough. Nopp showed me local activities and I helped him build the homestay and on his farm. I recommend to anyone who is ready to experience simple and local life. Thank you Nop

The experience with the eco village was absolutely wonderful. It truly was a fully immersive experience, living and aiding along side the village in a very genuine manner. You aren't expected to do long hours and lots of hard work but rather pitch in with cooking, farming and general day to day tasks, all of the eco village people are relaxed and friendly. Nop and his family were truly welcoming and you never felt you were an intruder, and during down time, they are even happy to show you skills such as weaving. Unforgettable, I would love to return.

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 :)
