I loved my time at the community. Johney was kind and laid back. There wasn't always drinking water or power but the local community was incredible. I felt connected to the community and cleaning trash out of the river helped me feel like I was making a direct impact. Looking forward to next time!

The time I spent at Friends the community was unique and priceless. You'll live in a bungalow on the river with other volounteers and you'll immerge yourself in the local culture. The lifestyle is local, simple and slow. I had the chance to be there during Pchum Ben festival and I took part in the celebration with the local people in the temple. Johnney is quite private, but he is very kind and open to speak about his culture. He usually cooked some rice in the morning and then the other volounteers and I cooked something else for the day. He also showed me a local waterfall and some beaches!

“The less you expect, the happier you are.” the community is in the middle of a fishing village. I stayed there for 11 days during the rainy season and the little road to the homestay had a section with water in the middle, so don't be surprised if your feet get wet! The homestay is right above the river, so bugs, ants and small lizards are part of the ecosystem. You will have basic conditions: no shower, just buckets of rainwater, which was actually very refreshing and fan is also available at the bedrooms, If you love the community, authentic people and time to chill, go for it!

I had a really great time at Friends the community! It's located in a super quiet, tiny fishing village and feels very local and traditional. Expect bucket showers with cold water, limited electricity, no WiFi and almost no signal – definitely a back-to-basics vibe with a very simple kitchen and lots of insects.

The surroundings are beautiful and untouched, with mangroves, a river and hammocks to just chill. There are only a few shops and restaurants nearby, so it's perfect if you're looking to fully disconnect and enjoy a simple, authentic and budget-friendly experience.
