Brainstorm Homeschool

My project focuses on teaching English to Thai people, with an emphasis on empowering them to confidently engage in conversations with foreigners. The primary goal is to build confidence in using English, enabling Thais to exchange ideas, perspectives, and cultural knowledge with volunteers. This exchange takes place through conversations in English, fostering mutual understanding and cultural appreciation. Additionally, volunteers have the opportunity to stay in Chiang Mai at my home, which is nestled in a garden-like setting. This offers a serene and ideal environment for relaxation and cultural immersion in Thailand. The project not only enhances language skills but also bridges cultural gaps, creating a meaningful and enriching experience for both Thai participants and international volunteers.


"Our home welcomes both native and non-native English speakers to teach the language. If you are confident in your ability to engage, converse, and connect with others, this is the right position for you. You will find joy in traveling while making your journey meaningful to your students."

What we exchange with our volunteers:
1. Teaching techniques. If you are already a teacher we can share our experiences.
2. Exploring the local Chaiangmai areas (hot springs, caves, mountains, markets, waterfalls) during free time.
3. Eating local and traditional Thai food both at the school and around the area.
4. Teaching volunteers how to cook by using different techniques. Some dishes I have taught before to volunteers are: honey toast, green curry, shabu shabu, tom yum soup, padthai, papaya salad etc.
5. Meet local people around Chaingmai. They are always eager to get to know volunteers because they don’t see a lot of foreigners.

we are family just 3 people in our family and I am a teacher who works with Government. We live in the downtown where agriculture part of Thailand. At my home, we focus on exchanging accommodation and Thai food. If you come and have any specific activities you would like to do, please let us know." The work I need volunteers to help with is in the evening. You will have free time to explore and travel all day........

Highly recommend! This place gave me so much room to just exist in the way that I needed to. The space is dynamic, with foliage, critters, hammocks, ping pong (the game), and more. You have a lot of freedom to do whatever you need; rest, exercise, explore, meditate, create, soul search, socialize, etc. The facilities could use some improvement - the beds are a little hard and there is only one warm shower, but if you come with expectation of living in a natural environment, you'll do fine. If you struggle to live simply or in close proximity with others, this is probably not the place for you.

I stayed 3 weeks in Brianstorm, and they were great, the work is not hard, the food is good and the place is beautiful a little far from chiang mai but its a good place to rest and connect with nature! Ping pong is a great host and always super interested to do activities for the volunteers.

My time here was amazing. The house is beautiful, the hosts and staffare really nice and the experience overall was great. The 2 meals provided were good and the online work is fair. The relationships I made with fellow volunteers were great and I recommend this volunteering to anyone that wants a beautiful place to relax in the best part of Thailand. Until next time and thank you for everything! :)
