Authentic Thai experience in Pangteom Village, Sameong City

I really enjoyed my week at the farm! the farm, Dang, and Phone were so kind and welcoming. Due to the season I was there, me and the other volunteers were working on building out a bungalow rather than doing farm work. Work is physically demanding but we didn't work many hours a day and had a lot of free time so it was very manageable. the farm also made sure that we had the chance to experience things outside of the farm. I got to go to a festival in a nearby town with Dang one day and the farm led us on a jungle trek one day. Dang's food was delicious and Phone is a karaoke star!!!

This was my first time using Worldpackers, and it was through this platform that I learned about the farm. Even though I was the only volunteer at the time, my stay at the farm was amazing. the farm had taught me meditation and I liked the walking meditation the most. He also taught me how to farm and seed cabbage seeds. Besides, his wife, Dang's cooking abilities were excellent, and if you want to learn how to cook Thai food, she is the most humble lady to learn from. Furthermore, her daughter, Phon was a great assistant and had a lot of fun at night with her KTV singing.

My experience at the farm was amazing. We didn't work much, although sometimes the work was really intense (especially the day we cut the bamboo and had to transport it to the farm 😆). the farm taught us to meditate the Buddhist way, Dang's food was delicious and karaoke nights with Phon were the best way to end the day before evening meditation. The family invited us to local plans, so we were able to meet more people and how they enjoy the events in the area. I think it is the ideal experience if you are looking to connect with local people ♥️

This stay was so lovely! Everyone was so kind, and really made me feel like I was a part of the family. I learned a lot about buddhism and meditation from the farm, learned dancing and karaoke skills from Fone, and learned about Thai cooking from Dang. I was so lucky to be there during the celebration of the new leader of the temple, we spent a lot of time with locals from the community. We were able to participate in the ceremonies and parties! Accommodation was basic, but had everything you needed. Bring lots of bug spray, and some toilet paper!

We had a great time at the farm!! As it was dry season, we didn't work in the fields but rather around the farm's garden and doing constructions. We worked around 4 h/day and it was great to learn about different bamboo techniques. Make sure you ask the farm to tell you about his whole farming project because we almost didn't know about the fields as we didn't work there. Also, the farm brought us on a jungle trek and it was amazing!! Overall we were so happy to live on the farm for a week, and the farm's family were so nice. It's very rustic but it was totally fine for us !

I just returned from an incredible stay at the farm's Farm! The bungalow was primitive but felt very safe and comfortable as there was a big mosquito net and plenty of blankets. Sometimes the communication was a bit hard due to the language gap, but overall we understood each other well. At night, we did meditation around the campfire and even sang karaoke with Phone which felt amazing next to the jungle. Being part of the daily lives of the farm's family was a blast so bring some toilet paper, insect repellent, a flashlight, and some good shoes and you are ready for a wonderful experience :)

I liked the stay at the farm's farm. Would definitely rate their kindness 5 stars, but felt some of the other 'best experience in their life' can give some untrue expectations. It took them a couple of days to open up, but that's fine ofcourse. In the beginning we where mainly together with the other volunteers. Keep in mind that communication can be a tough thing, as the farm only speaks some basic English. And please do ask him questions :). I noticed he rarely starts the story himself, but keeps on talking if you ask him things.

I spent 7 days at Watcharas farm, and it was amazing! I learned so much about the Thai culture and how life in a Thai village can be. Dengs food were amazing, and after a few days we became a big family. I would really recommend if you need to get away from the touristy Thailand and in to a more authentic experience. It was wonderful to be surrounded by nature and stillness. Thank you so much🙏

It was our first experience with Worldpackers and it was a good one. The host and his family were very friendly and welcoming. Because of illness we didn't stay for long but we could experience being a part of the community in the village, during a funeral and see how the entire village came together. It was very nice with in the morning a mediation walk and in the evening sitting around the campfire together.
