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.

My time at Saimai School was very meaningful. The activities were calm and rewarding, such as watering the plants, participating in workshops, taking care of the park, and helping distribute food to families in need. The Saimai community welcomed us with so much kindness and made this experience special. Thank you for everything.

It was a wonderful experience! This was my 1st volunteer experience through Worldpackers, and it truly could not have been better! It is so rewarding to see how committed the whole community is to social well-being. The work is beautiful and meaningful! The best part of all is the people you meet here! Book, Bump, P'Boo, and everyone else in the community are such wonderful, warm-hearted people. The meals provided here are absolutely delicious, and you will always feel accompanied and welcomed! Thank you so much for this beautiful experience! I will always remember all of you!!

My experience in the Saimai community was truly authentic and meaningful. I arrived just before Songkran and loved experiencing the festival with Thai people, away from Bangkok’s tourist crowds. I felt very warmly welcomed by the hosts and the whole community. The facilities are simple, the tasks are easy, the schedule is flexible, and you have plenty of time to learn about the local culture directly from the residents or go out and explore Bangkok. The project is beautiful and plays an important role in preserving Thai traditions. Thank you, family, for all your care and kindness.

Volunteering at Sai Mai iSchool was my first Worldpackers experience, and it was truly amazing. I stayed for two weeks and felt like part of the family from day one. P'Book and Bump were kind and supportive, and Luung'Boo and Pa'Lad were incredibly caring. They always made sure I was comfortable and well fed. The environment was warm and welcoming, and I experienced real Thai hospitality. It was absolutely worth it, and if I return to Thailand, I will definitely visit them again.
