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.

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.

This place is amazing, Mit and everyone else here are the best people and the farm felt like home the day that i arrived. I did some teaching at the local schools and helped at the farm the rest of the time. The work was never to hard and lots of fun with the other volunteers. Mit's food is also super good and she always made an vegetarian option for me. I really do recommend this to everyone :)

Mit is the mother of nature. I have extended my stay, as soon as I arrived I knew this would feel like home. The care Mit and the family gives to the animals is indescribable it isnt just the Buffolos. Her pack of dogs at home and at the farm get the same love. You feel so comfortable, more at home anywhere I have solo travelled and I have done atleast 8 months in parts.

You live of the land, all the food organic and nourishing. Walking in her shoes has been pure magic and I would strongly recommend if you want an authenic experience in Thailand. There are many opportunities. Pure bliss!

To the family and team at the farm, I can't thank you enough for the past two weeks. I was surprised to be welcomed by everyone the farm community, the incredible kindness of the teachers, the hospitality and kindness of Mit and family also exceeded my expectations. Ensuring I had everything I could possibly need, that I could get around the village, preparing delicious vegetarian meals for me and adjusting the spice! I am so very grateful for your care . All my best wishes, I would love to return to the farm future, until then love from your kiwi friend, Kirsty (Miss Kitty)

Kirsty has been extremely helpful to our local schools. She didn't just teach a new language; she was also an excellent role model. She showed us the importance of talking to people from around the world and cultural exchange.
Apart from her professional skills, Kirsty is a truly lovely and friendly person who is very easy-going with food and daily life. We hope that everyone who has the chance to host her will be as happy to have her, even for a short time, as we were :)

I had an amazing time at the farm! Mit and everyone there were incredibly welcoming and taught me so much about Thai agriculture. The daily routine was perfectly balanced, you always knew when it was time to work on the farm, help out at the local school, enjoy a meal, rest, or simply relax during free time. I learned about rice selection, fishing, buffalo care, and discovered so many new fruits, including my new favorite—Longan! The food was absolutely delicious, and they even adjusted the spice level to suit each person's preference. I also loved that everything at the farm was 100% organic.

Staying on Mit's farm was one of the most unique and meaningful experiences I've had. From day one, I felt like part of the family—everyone was so welcoming and kind. The work was the perfect balance of helping at the local school and on the farm. I learned about rice selection, rubber tapping, buffalo care, and so many new fruits, with every practice being 100% organic and environmentally conscious. The food was incredible (and not too spicy!), and the bedroom was spacious, clean, and super comfortable. I'd highly recommend this to anyone wanting a real cultural and sustainable experience.
