I feel so lucky to be able to experience my first volunteering at the shelter, with Mill, Rose, and Uttama. Firstly, Mill is a wonderful host. I felt so welcome from the first minute, and he did everything he could to accommodate me in the best way, while also showing me a lot of Thai culture. We had the best talks. His sister Rose is so sweet and such an amazing cook. Uttama was so fun to work with, even though we don't speak the same language. the shelter is beautiful, and the animals are so sweet and very well taken care of. Thank you so much for this amazing journey. I'll be back!!!!

This is my second time volunteering here. It's always such a pleasure to work in this environment, and the food is always delicious. Mill is always eager to introduce you to new facets of Thai culture. Songkran is always so much fun, and the animals are always so adorable. I highly recommend this volunteer opportunity if you want a unique and immersive experience in Thai culture!

Sarah is an easy-going person who gets along well with everyone and with all of our animals. She has a positive attitude and never complains about any task. She completes all assigned work and often does more than expected. She is highly responsible, enthusiastic, and pays excellent attention to her work.
She is simple and easy to live with, not picky about food or accommodation, and is always willing to help everyone. She also helped clean the animal shelters and containers willingly. Sh

Best project I have ever been, Mill is an amazing host, not only for providing all the attention a volunteer might need, but for going miles ahead of what a project looks like From day one I felt welcomed, to the point that we didn't even start working on the field as there was a Buddhist ceremony with hundreds of people in the outskirts of a nearby city, which meant I got to see the real deal! The animals he cares so much for, the mermerizing nature around, the breathtaking sunsets, I don't have enough space here to write down everything... And the food! Mill is a MasterChef!

Diago is a very hardworking and dedicated volunteer. He is punctual and always puts full effort into every task assigned to him. Sometimes, we even have to tell him to take a break due to the hot daytime weather.
We communicate well and share ideas to improve things together. Our relationship feels more like friendsβ€”there hasn’t been a single day where we felt uncomfortable. I hope he will come back again so we can continue contributing to society together.

Mill is a fantastic host. He was always ready to answer questions and share his knowledge of the culture, and we had a lot of laughs too. During our days off, he suggested several activities. His sister Rose cooked exceptional meals for us ! Songkran who takes care of the animals, is very hardworking and fun. Even though he doesn't speak english, he does everyrhing he can to make sure you understand the tasks. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants an authentic adventure, being with locals and animals. I already miss this place ! Thank you for everything ! Hope to see you again !
