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.

We are half way through our experience with volun2thai and it has been such a refreshing change from the tourist traps of Thailand. Meeting and interacting with locals, in the real Thailand. It has been an amazing experience and one I would recommend to anyone that is thinking of doing a volunteer project. It is very rewarding helping out the local people that are less fortunate than yourselves. The children are all very happy to see you with big smiles on there faces and in return you leave each day with a big smile on your face too. It's been a very good experience and the host is a legend!

I really enjoyed my time at V2T. Raimund and his family were very welcoming. My time spent with the children was very enriching and I truly felt I was making a difference. It was a great opportunity to learn more about life in rural Thailand. the organization is very much in nature so it is quite rustic there are lots of cats who are very cute. I found it a very peaceful place to stay. Thank you Raimund for the experience. I hope to come back.

Molly is a very friendly and positive person. She's spunky and good with kids. She enjoys English lessons with sports and games. She is helpful in the team, she thinks socially of her colleagues. She enjoys cooking and baking and is happy to share with everyone. We have grown very fond of her and she is always welcome back. Maybe it will work out and we will see each other again in the future. Best regards Raimund and family ❤️

If you're looking for an authentic Thai experience this is the program for you. Raimund was super flexible and has some exciting new projects upcoming that would be awesome to be involved it. The kids and teachers were lovely and was a great way for me to test myself and my skills in working with people.

Clare is a positive and proactive person, she is great with the team and the children take to her immediately. She has many skills and is very adaptable. She is characterised by great social skills. She has a lot of patience, which benefits the children. My own children have also spent a lot of time with her and have grown to love her. Dear Clare, thank you for everything and I hope you will stay in touch with us. Thank you Raimund and family for Volunt2Thai 😊🙏❤️

It was a great experience. I met local people and learned a lot about Thai culture. Also, I had a chance to practise my English and German, and meet with other travellers.
