I really enjoyed my week at the farm! the farm, Dang, and Phone were so kind and welcoming. Due to the season I was there, me and the other volunteers were working on building out a bungalow rather than doing farm work. Work is physically demanding but we didn't work many hours a day and had a lot of free time so it was very manageable. the farm also made sure that we had the chance to experience things outside of the farm. I got to go to a festival in a nearby town with Dang one day and the farm led us on a jungle trek one day. Dang's food was delicious and Phone is a karaoke star!!!

This was my first time using Worldpackers, and it was through this platform that I learned about the farm. Even though I was the only volunteer at the time, my stay at the farm was amazing. the farm had taught me meditation and I liked the walking meditation the most. He also taught me how to farm and seed cabbage seeds. Besides, his wife, Dang's cooking abilities were excellent, and if you want to learn how to cook Thai food, she is the most humble lady to learn from. Furthermore, her daughter, Phon was a great assistant and had a lot of fun at night with her KTV singing.

I really enjoyed my time at the farm. the farm had to go to Bangkok during my stay but dang and phone were excellent hosts! It was lovely to be away from the city and take time out. I wasn't aware that there wouldn't be any work for me to do however. As the only volunteer at times it was a little isolating. Overall I enjoyed my time. Thank you very much for having me :-)

My experience at the farm was amazing. We didn't work much, although sometimes the work was really intense (especially the day we cut the bamboo and had to transport it to the farm 😆). the farm taught us to meditate the Buddhist way, Dang's food was delicious and karaoke nights with Phon were the best way to end the day before evening meditation. The family invited us to local plans, so we were able to meet more people and how they enjoy the events in the area. I think it is the ideal experience if you are looking to connect with local people ♥️
