The stay at Mit's farm was an amazing experience. Mit, Mr. Nid & Ms. Pa are amazing hosts, and although English is minimal I felt welcomed and looked after! I got to help out around the local schools and meet the amazing students and teachers. I got to help out around the farm with different jobs such as herding buffalo and building water irrigation systems. Was a top experience, my only drawback was that there wasn't other guests to socialise with for the majority of my trip. However I'd definitely recommend the stay if you're looking for an authentic Thai experience 🫶

So grateful I got to stay about 2 weeks with Mit at her farm, it was an amazing experience that I can only recommend. We did so many activities around the area visiting temples, learning about the local culture and exploring the nature around. the farm mornings we volunteered with the teachers at the school where everyone was so welcoming and kind, and afternoons helped out at her garage or farm. Anyone wanting to learn more about the local Thai culture area and giving a hand while living with the sweetest host receiving amazing food would def love it here. Hope to come back some time :)

I had two very nice and relaxing weeks. Mit and everyone else were super kind and accommodating. She came up with a special programme for the weekends, which was very cool!
I taught at schools with super cute children and the teachers were also very warm and welcoming. The food was delicious, especially the vegetarian dishes, which tasted very good. I would definitely recommend this if you want to experience authentic Thai life.

I had an amazing 2 weeks here. Mit and everyone at the farmstay was so welcoming and genuine. I taught English at local schools and formed bonds with both the teachers and students there. A truly authentic experience. I definitely recommend this experience if you’re up to the task and want an authentically local experience. I will miss everyone! จริงๆขอบคุณมากค่ะทุกคน

This has been the best volunteering experience I've done so far. It was truly amazing, and I felt connected with Mit, her family, and the farm. I learned so much during my stay, and I felt truly at home. I cannot wait to come back.
