Volunteering here was fantastic. The tasks are manageable, there is enough free time, and the family you are staying with and the community are simply lovely. I am really glad I was able to volunteer here and get to know this community and I hope we will meet again!

Thank you so much for welcoming me into your community, sharing your home with me and especially to Book and Bump, thanks for the great time I had with you.

Since day one I've felt very welcomed in the family and also in the community.
The host family was so nice, it really felt like home.
Every day is different and you have enough time for yourself or doing activities. The host is very flexible.
I really liked to help in the garden and being a part of preparing the lessons for the children (you can really create the lessons), also teaching was so nice.
The host family also volunteers for the community and it's awesome how much work and energy they put in - it's really inspiring.
Important - you really get accepted and valued for who you are. ❤️

I loved the experience in Sia Mai, the people from the community are very happy and curios to meet and talk with the volunteers. I felt like home especially with book and bump! The family is so welcoming and curious about your colture so you will have many chat with them! The job is easy, you'll have to do gardening in the morning and 3 times a week have lessons with the children (super cute!!). Thank you so much , i had so much fun , i will coming back for sure!!

I stayed with this family for two weeks, and it's been a really beautiful experience. I saw this experience two years ago already, but I only managed to go this summer. by staying with the family you can really get to know the real Thailand and the real Thai people. the work wasn't heavy and I loved teaching and spending time with children. the family that hosts is really friendly and curios about your country, so you get to talk a lot, spend time togheter and see and understand different points of views. I left thailand and Saimai very sadly, because of how good we felt in this community.
