I enjoyed my time here, I would recommend renting a scooter in chiang mai before going because there is not a lot to do within walking distance. It is quiet and a great place to slow down!

Met so many amazing people at banbodoi, i had a great time socializing and getting to know everybody. Theres always a lot of people coming and going so youll never get lonely. Great food and a lovely space. Working scheduele starts in the afternoon so you usually finish around 7 or 9. Teaching isnt hard, it just takes some time to get used to the sites and materials they use to do the online classes. Theyre very kind and accomodating people. Its very peaceful even though highway next. Getting there and back isnt hard, it just takes a while 40 minutes. You can take the shared taxi or hitchhike.

I enjoyed my time teaching here! There was a bit of miscommunication about which day to arrive due to Songkran, but once I got started they were super flexible on which days I would stay. The teaching is quite intense as it back to back online, bht all of the students have been great and the set up is good. We get two really great meals a day, and it's been lovely meeting the other the home. Thank you for the experience!

We had a lovely time at Ban Don Doi. The teaching was a good experience and the staff were super welcoming. They organised activities for us like bamboo rafting, evening BBQs and trip to the water park. The food was delicious. Only thing I would say is that the teaching is on zoom and that can be a bit hard at first, however you pick it up quickly. Classes can be in the evening or in the daytime, it really depends on the day but this is good for flexibility. The staff were super accommodating to any additional requests that we had. I would reccomend this to anyone who wants to teach English.

Teaching on Zoom can feel a bit challenging at first, but most volunteers adapt quickly. Thank you for being part of our community — you’re always welcome back! 😊

I spent one week in this volunteer and was enough to say it has been my favorite one. A much needed stop, in a beautiful place, lots of nature, but overall the most amazing people. Im so grateful for the friends I met here, they will always be in my heart. Also the staff is always ready to help, they organice very fun activities like bbq, music jams, bamboo rafting, even watching elephants. The job is easy, you interact with local people and encourage students to improve their english skills. Highly recommend💘🌞💫🍃🦋
