I had an amazing time here I extended my stay. I learned so much about Thai culture, cooking, sustainable practices and working with clay! The host is very inspiring and I am lucky to have had this experience. I am truly changed for the better.

Not many words can describe the experience I've had here so I'll just list the things I miss. Pi Oi (a good woman), Pi Ban (a good man), Pi Pum (the best dog), Pi Noi (a very hard worker), Pi Sauce (almost best dog), Pi Nouha (a wise woman), Pi Elis (the woman who talks uncontrollably), Pi Coni (the artistically expressive woman) and the traditional home-cooked food (quite good indeed). It's a very constructive place to learn Thai and allows you to slow down to live simply.

Absolutely amazing!! I returned here for a second time with only 6 weeks away and I'm already planning my third visit! What you see is what you get. You're out in nature, doing the described work for 3 hrs each weekday morning, provided with lunch and dinner, and lots of free time to explore. Opportunities to practice Tai Chi and mediation each morning, take ceramics workshops, get Thai massage, learn about Thai cooking, and so much more. Everyone is welcomed with open arms and made to feel at home. If you're into art, being outdoors, looking to make a positive impact, what're you waiting for?

So grateful to be welcomed into Pi Noi's home, as it was such a special experience. I felt like I could really experience Chiang Mai with a lovely Thai community, and as my first solo travelling and volunteering experience, it was fantastic. I felt very welcome, and getting to know Pi Noi, Pi Oi, Pi Bahn and Nouha truly made me feel like part of a family for 10 days. For the 3 hours of work each day I was sifting clay, rolling it into slabs and preparing for Pi Noi's upcoming exhibition. We spent our free time being introduced to local cafes, markets, temples and locals. Highly recommend!

The home was an incredible experience built around family style living that made me feel so at home. The cooking was amazing, workload is doable and different everyday, and the location give you more of a local experience in Thailand. Over all I'm so grateful for the home family to have had me and I would recommend this experience to any Worldpackers volunteer!
