It was all good in the end. The host was nice. I personally liked the food. I think It was easier for me to have rice every day because rice is basically the main meal in Asia. Rice & soup, just typical household food. Renting a motorcycle could be a great idea as well. I mainly just stayed in the area but it'd get boring easily. I did the elephant sanctuary tour, you can do it at a discounted price. Teaching english was fine as a non native speaker too!

You'll meet lots of volunteers, and Paweena + team looked after me twice when I was sick. They host lovely events and it's a super social opportunity. That being said - it's tar out the city so if you do not have a bike/car it'll be hard to go and do much! Therefore you may just stay and chill instead. Mattresses were uncomfortable but that was my only downside really - and that I got used to! Food was lovely and Paweena was super accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful first experience!! Highly recommend <3

Staying here was a great experience! Connecting with all the other volunteers was amazing and also the classes online were great! It's true it's outside of Chiang Mai but staying here was a good reset, the house has green spaces everywhere and you feel at calm and peace

I've had a great week at the school, everyone here has been welcoming and tasks were clear and easy to complete. The students were lovely and grateful to converse with a native english speaker. What made this experience was the group of volunteers who were from all over the world, I could meet people I will keep in touch with outside of this experience! Staying south of Chiang Mai city we could discover amazing national parks and waterfalls, a great place to stay!

The homestay from which I did the volunteering was truly beautiful, clean and peaceful. The staff and fellow volunteers created an amazing atmosphere to truly be able to live a slow paced and fullfilling experience. The students we taught online were varying in age, experience level and motivation. This made the teaching experience fun, exciting and sometimes a bit challenging (which I liked). I also learned a lot from the students as they are very keen on telling about themselves. I reccomend this place for sure as all facilitaties were perfectly in order.

I spent a week teaching English online at Ban Bon Doi Homestay. It's nestled in a peaceful village (Mao Wang) near Chiang Mai, the food is delicious, and the people (staff and students) are incredibly kind and welcoming. The hosts and her team, go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The facilities are clean and comfortable, and the teaching schedule is manageable: 4–6 online classes, five days a week. You'll be creating your own lessons, spending time outdoors, and connecting deeply with the local community or just chill.

Loved my stay here! 💚 Kind people, delicious food (2x/day), and a gorgeous natural setting. I taught students aged 6 to 60, some became best friends , some hilarious troublemakers. You'll be outdoors a lot, making your own lessons (Engoo is great for ideas). Schedule: 4–6 classes, 5 nights a week. The village is peaceful, 40 mins from Chiang Mai, with a 7-Eleven and market 13 mins away. Perfect if you love nature, meaningful connections, and a slower pace. Bring bug spray & a big smile!

I cannot speak more highly of Paweena and her entire team. They make you feel welcome and provide you with everything you need. The work is self-explanatory and easy, the facilities are clean and comfortable and the entire land the school is in is beautiful. Would recommend anyone who is interested in teaching English on a voluntary basis to come here. Just know that the lessons are online, not in person. Thank you once again Paweena for this opportunity, I will most definitely come back in the future!
