Nay is a very caring and lovely person. I really enjoyed my experience at the farm and really happy to meet him. I loved to see the deep and funny bond he has with his baby elephant. While I was there I had to work in planting some tomatoes and "happy pepper" and make sure all the plants get water every day. I fed the elephant and took care of two lovely buffaloes. After some hours of work, having that the farm flowing with fresh water is simply a pure blessing. So we also enjoyed some chill time playing and drinking with the feet in the water. I hope I'll have the chance to come back soon.

I enjoyed my time at the farm very much! Nay is a great person, he welcomed everybody warmly. His cooking was incredible and was something new every meal! Nunu is a lovely elephant, but please remember she is a WILD animal. The work was acceptable and the hours were adhered to. During my time, it was reaching 40° and Nay understood that people of certain origins may find this heat uncomfortable. He allowed people to work under the contracted hours in these circumstances

This was the most amazing first Worldpackers experience ❤️ the best week of my life! Nay is the best host, he genuinely cares about each volunteer and wanted us to enjoy our time and learn about the farm culture. His cooking was always amazing and he always taught us about each dish and the ingredients. The work itself was easy but fascinating — learning to build with bamboo, care for the elephant and Buffalo, I even made some videos for the coffee shop and cooking classes. There were 8 of us volunteers total, and we all started around the same time so we quickly became like a little family.
