This was such a beautiful and meaningful experience. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful, always welcoming me with a smile and making sure I was comfortable and doing well throughout my stay. The children were so friendly, curious and always eager to learn and play together. It was a pleasure to spend time with them every day. This is a wonderful experience for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the local culture and peaceful surroundings of rural southern Thailand. I'm very grateful for the memories and connections I have made during my time there.

One of the most beautiful experiences of my life. From the very first moment, we were welcomed as family. the school's location feels straight out of a movie- magical, beautiful, and deeply inspiring for little ones. We stayed for three weeks... and leaving felt far too soon. Thank you for the opportunity! ♥️🙂

These 3 weeks were absolutely incredible!! One of the best experiences we've ever had and the perfect way to end our trip in Thailand... Ansari and Maria were extremely kind, warm, and welcoming from the very first day. We felt truly at home! Every day they shared with us the most amazing food and local flavors - their hospitality was 100%!
Regarding the volunteering experience with the kids, it was simply amazing!! The children are incredibly sweet, polite, and have an excellent level of English. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic and local experience :)

I left this volunteering experience early because it was very different from the Worldpackers description. The accommodation was dirty, smelled bad, had insects, rats, cold showers, and broken facilities. The workload was much heavier than the advertised 18 hours/week. Communication and support from the host were poor, and volunteers often felt controlled even outside work hours. The children were amazing and the only reason I stayed two weeks, but overall I would not recommend this placement due to the living conditions, lack of transparency, and treatment of volunteers.

We are disapointed to read this review, as it does not reflect our experience hosting Margot. The accommodation and volunteer role were clearly described before her arrival. We provided meals, accommodation, and support throughout her stay. We were especially surprised because she chose to leave one week earlier than agreed due to another volunteer placement. While we respect her right to share her opinion, we do not believe this review provides a balanced representation of our project.

This was my first volunteering experience, and I'm truly grateful for everything. At first, I thought it would be difficult, but the children made it so special and unforgettable. They were full of warmth and energy, and being with them taught me so much about enjoying life. They did their best to make me feel comfortable. The photos are a bit outdated and could better reflect the improvements. It was okay for me but meals aren't included on non-working days, which could be clearer. Leaving the kids was harder than I expected. I also filmed with permission, you can check my YouTube: @saydeklog

I really enjoyed these 3 weeks with Ansari and Maria, the team at the school and of course with kids ! Being the only foreigner in the area, locals smiled at me and were very welcoming. It was a great local immersion experience. I ate many times with Ansari et Maria at their home, and I learned a lot from them about their culture and their religion. They took good care of me during my stay with them, always made sure I felt confortable. Teach to children was very easy and enriching because their learn by playing, I really enjoyed being with them ! Thank you for everything 🙏🏼

I had a great experience during my stay in Khuan Don. Ansari and Maria always made me feel welcome and they always made sure I was included in their activities. They cook delicious food and the kids are really sweet with willingness to learn English. If you want to live a really local experience and create good memories while helping their community this is the place for you. The people at the village are also very welcoming. I will miss my time here. If I am ever around the area I will go again for sure!! Thank you for everything 🤗

Mr. Ansari and Mrs. Maria are an outstanding host! They are committed, incredibly generous, and outgoing, making you feel right at home by giving you a private accommodation, allowance, and bike for comfort and to explore. Despite their insanely busy schedules they make time for you. This village is small and safe so they always invite you to join on adventures [if you're avaliable], Mrs. Maria always makes great lunches and Mr. Ansari grows beautiful crops that he shares. [10am-12] The toddler are awesome and eager to play [4:15pm-6] the Tweens are great, likes to goof around, and talk

Our time with Ansari, Maria, the staff and children of the nursery was incredible. The school has a holistic approach to learning. We taught from 8:30-10:30 each morning, speaking to the children in English. From 10:45-12 we went on an outside walk with breathtaking scenery and played with the children. Ansari is very tentative host and looked after us. The accommodation was great. Emily and I had an amazing time and it is an experience that we will always remember. If you have the opportunity to volunteer here I would recommend it.
