Had a great time volunteering here. It's a bit out in the rural areas, so it takes a little getting used to, but the people really make it worth it. The hosts were welcoming, and the other volunteers made things fun and chill. Whether we were helping out, exploring nearby, or just hanging out, it was always a good time. If you're up for something a bit slower-paced and meaningful, this place is worth checking out.

I had a great experience meeting other fellow travelers at the homestay. I taught a maximum of 5 classes on average with some breaks in between. Its a laid back environment and the hosts are very kind and welcoming. I do wish the bathroom facilities were a lot cleaner. Overall a good experience as it was my first time

I came to volunteer with an open heart, but the experience felt more like free labor. We worked 5 days a week, 5 hours a day, with little time to explore or rest. Accommodations were below standard—no air conditioning in private rooms made it uncomfortable. Volunteering should be a fair exchange, not unpaid work with minimal support. This felt like the host was taking advantage of volunteers rather than offering a meaningful cultural experience.

We’re sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations. Our agreed schedule was 5 hrs/day, 5 days/week, but actual teaching is 4–6 sessions/day, 40 mins each—less than 5 hrs. We offered A/C rooms, but you chose a private fan room with your partner, fully informed. Due to power limits, we can’t install A/C everywhere. We do our best within our means and appreciate your time with us.

Very nice place and people, lot of volunteers so the organization to accomodate them is not lacking. I missed the detail before coming that all classes are one on one through Skype and can be split all afternoon and early evening rather than being classes of kids in a real school. Wasn't thus exactly what I had in mind (no immersion in school life), but great place nonetheless. Also I missed the bamboo rafting that wasn't organized the week I stayed, but it looked really fun. Thanks for the experience and good vibes!

The volunteer is a great choice for living the local culture on the country side of Thailand. The place for the volunteer is about 30 km from the center of Chiang Mai. It's in a city called Mae Wang. There are many waterfalls, rivers, rice fields around. Super beautiful! The volunteers give english classes for the accomodation. The accomodation is not confortable. There is only one shower with hot water. The food is okay. The hosts are very friendly and give thai cooking classes every week. I had a good time, but the accomodation needs to be better and the address they give us is wrong

I enjoyed my experience here, it was nice to escape the city for a little while. I enjoyed teaching the online English classes, and meeting new people and experiencing homemade meals. The surrounding area is beautiful it was nice to have lots of time during the day to explore. Very chilled, relaxed area it was exactly what I needed

I really enjoyed my time staying at Ban Bon Doi and working with the school. They provide you will all the tools to teach English over Skype and it's well organized (5:50-10:10pm, 3-6 classes a day). The owners and locals are extremely kind and welcoming, the meals are delicious(breakfast is milk, oats, cereal, bread), and the sleeping arrangements are homey. Super relaxed atmosphere. Lots of yoga, and resetting. Even a bar with good social environment on property. Overall, the perfect city escape with a good work balance. I will be back for sure one day
