Rules

If a Workawayer becomes ill during their stay with us, they are of course welcome to remain here and recover. At the same time, we expect, in the spirit of fairness, that the missed time is either made up afterwards or counted as days off. If this is not possible because the departure follows directly after the illness, we charge a fee of 300 THB per day to cover expenses.

We ask you to keep mobile phone use to a minimum during work hours and not to wear EarPods while working - for your and the dogs safety.

We use the โ€˜Bum Gunโ€™ and a towel instead of toilet paper, as it is common in Thailand and to help protect the environment.

Every volunteer has to clean up the bathroom once per week and her/his room the day before leaving - this time doesnt count as working time.

The guest rooms have a standing fan which can be used for free.
It also has an air-condition but for its use we would need to charge 100 thb/12 hours or 200 thb/24 hours. Temperature not lower than 26 degrees.
