I had an amazing stay at the village! I made some great friends during my time there and also met many locals and experienced Thai culture. There is always work to be done, however, the work is self-driven and you won't be working in bad weather. Lele was very understanding if we wanted a day off to go to Khao Sok or anywhere else. The food was delicious and healthy. Fruits, veggies, and eggs were all from the farm. He cooked a mix of Italian and Thai food. The village is in the jungle so bring long pants and shirts, and bug spray!

One mont and a half in the project and I highly recommend to everyone this experience. You'll learn about permaculture and you'll be surrounded by nature every time. There are a lot of different tasks to do in the village so you will always have something to do, it's hard working with the sun but it's completely worth it, seeing how the village is improving Lele is an amazing chef (you're gonna try the best pineapples ever and the best pumpkin cream ever) and all the people I met in the village made my stance much better. They are amazing everyone ¡¡Bring enough mosquito repellent!!

Mangiareeeeeeeee! Spending a month in the middle of nature, working with people committed to the same purpose and learning about permaculture with Lele, was essential to make my experience even richer. The village is located in a relatively isolated region, but you will never feel alone if you are open to making new friends. The work is intense, as it is not a summer camp. So, if you are thinking of applying for this volunteer role, be aware that you will need to have a lot of energy. I already miss the wonderful food prepared by our Italian chef. I strongly recommend this place!

Living at Gaarawé Village is a must do experience that introduced me to the permaculture lifestyle and allowed me to meet local people. I didn't feel like a tourist but welcomed by everyone I met. You'll get back a different person after learning so much!

I spent one month at Garawee and I really loved it. If you want to get the full nature experience, Garawee is the place to go. It isn't everything fully organized, but this make this place even more adorable. There is a big variety of tasks to do and they are even for unexperienced people affordable. Just try everything out. I'm sure some tasks will fit for you. And for your free time, you have a great community with other volunteers here. Therefore you won't be lonely here and also get some travel buddies here. I can recommend Garawee and the Wi-Fi is even better than in many hotels.

My first experience and my expectations were more than met. You will find yourself in this wonderful thai farm, living a peaceful life, as a kind of spiritual retreat in nature. Lele is the italian responsible who runs and constantly improves many aspects of the village with the precious help of volunteers. He is an expert about permaculture and can help you change some parts of your way of thinking towards a more eco-friendly way. An important part of the experience is the community: you live all day with 5-15 people, creating geat relationships and there's time for some fun hikes.

The project was such a great experience! Would 100% recommend. We stayed for 1 month and Lele made us feel like family. The work is fun and relaxed and the with Khao Sok being just around the corner there are some beautiful walks and hikes to do.

Lele and everyone I met at the project was absolutely lovely! The tasks ranged from gardening to cleaning and cooking but as long as you have a good team every task is fun! We mostly worked before lunch (because of the heat). In the afternoon we walked to the shop, swam in the river or just chilled. Additionally there are a few caves in the area and of course khao sok nationalpark.

My time here was not what I expected, on my first day I asked Lele what needed doing, and he said “observation is the first rule of permaculture, look around and see what needs doing”. This was very disheartening because I did not know if there were any rules or methods in place, where any tools or equipment was kept, nor was I instructed of my exact workload. Another thing is it's very rural and therefore difficult to leave, there is a small shop nearby but I felt very isolated here. The other volunteers were lovely and we spent many evenings playing card games, both dogs were sweet too.
