I am thoroughly impressed by the island's beauty and tranquility. Upon our arrival, our host warmly welcomed us and provided a complete tour of the property, outlining our maintenance responsibilities. He gradually explained the daily operations and tasks, remaining consistently attentive to our needs and questions. Over time, we have integrated into the community and learned about local customs. The work is not demanding and allows ample room for creativity. I am highly satisfied with this experience.

Jay is a great guy and we loved to spend time at his place! You just need to take care of the surroundings (which is an amazing place). The house is very comfortable and has everything you need! I 100% recommend to rent a motorbike to explore the island! We had a great time chilling in the hammocks, making improvements, feeding the fish and scaring the monkeys! I would totally recommend the experience. Koh Lanta is a great place! Thank you Jay for everything :)

This is a fantastic place! Living here in the middle of nature and with Jay has been a wonderful experience that I would repeat and recommend. The island is a little paradise in Thailand, with beautiful beaches and wonderful people. Renting a bike gives you the option to explore in your free time. I have learned a lot from this volunteering experience, gardening, restoration... always with freedom 🤗

I love it so much!!! 🤩 This volunteering experience is fantastic, Jey is a wonderful person with whom you'll connect with the local culture and nature too🎋 Spend time with him and on the farm, and feed the fishes 🐠 — 🐡 that was my favorite part; the best conversations happen there! 😃 Swim with them, enjoy the dragonflies, lie down and read in the hammocks, relax and improve this wonderful garden 🪷⛲️🪸 Rent a motorbike to swim at Bamboo Beach, stroll through the mangroves, and go to Rasta Baby's live music 🎶 🌀 Say hi to the flamingos for me!!😜🦩💃🏽

I had such a wonderful time with jay in his garden. He has a beautiful home, and I got to meet so many lovely animals and creatures whilst I stayed with him. Work is nice - weeding. I really enjoyed it. Would recommended for the traveller who wants a peaceful place to come to rest and stay put for a while. Jay is a great guy and I'm happy I got to know him :)
