If you're looking for a place to really connect with local families and also help support the future learning of the children, this is absolutely the place for you. Being with Nao and her family was such an amazing experience. From trips to the closest town to experience the market, to just being out in nature relaxing on the hammock. You will be not only well fed but well nourished mentally. The food that her mom makes will be the best food you've had in Thailand. There are lots of opportunities for you to contribute. Building, gardening, teaching, planning. Recommend 100%

My 3 weeks at FilmFarmSchool were much more than I expected for my first volunteering experience. Nao was incredibly welcoming and the perfect bridge between us and Thai culture. She has many ongoing community-oriented projects that have a real impact. I was especially impressed by the fact that each of us could contribute using the skills we knew best. Market visits, hikes, local buffets and Thai massages were just some of the activities that made my stay even more enjoyable. Last but not least, I have to mention the extremely tasty food prepared by Nao's mom, you will eat well!

I loved my two weeks stay!! Nao is adapting tasks for each volunteer so I surprisingly got to use my civil engineer skills together with the architect and carpenter volunteers designing and building a school and land almost from scratch. We also had a fun play day with the kids after their exams. Despite flooding challenges, it always felt very safe and cosy. The biggest challenge was trying not eat too well of mum's food. Nao brought us to massage, landrover trip, markets, buffet, cafes, yoga and more. She's an open, trusting, chill, funny and inspiring power woman. I recommend highly!

This was definitely one of the most memorable experiences of my life! It was my first time volunteering with Worldpackers, and I'm so glad I chose to come to Film Farm School. I thought I was going to share something with the kids, but in the end, I was the one who received so much and felt healed by their pure, kind souls. I always felt welcomed, both at the house and the school, which made me feel comfortable all the time. There was also plenty of free time for relaxing, playing with the dogs, and enjoying my hobbies. If you're looking for a place to start your new journey, this is the one!

I feel so blessed to have had an opportunity to help now is mission and creating a community that merges growth and sustainability. She is one of the most amazing people I've ever met along with her extremely caring and thoughtful family, you truly get a local experience while being able to be a part of something so amazing. I gained many skills in adoptability, communication, and overall knowledge. I was able to tap into my creativity while helping Nao wherever I could. She makes the experience that much better by making an effort to show you local sights & go venture on your own. :)

Parting is such sweet sorrow! What a joy it was to live with Nao and her family! Teaching and becoming involved in village life was truly a life changing experience, and the jungle background makes it all the more rejuvenating. I would definitely recommend this project for volunteers who are flexible, willing to learn new things and help in whatever way you can, while also taking some time to rest. We made a podcast episode if you want to know more of my thoughts :) https://youtu.be/Dos6tQyzMFw?si=LSkrSzwiU7gZ4oJz Nao is going to change the world, so get involved while you can!!

I spent two weeks volunteering at films farm School, however if I was able, I would've spent much longer. My role as a volunteer was varied, I helped with teaching, building and writing during my time on the farm. But I also had lots of free time to spend as I wished; being with nature, meditating, swimming in the local pool and socialising with locals and the other volunteers. I felt very welcome and at ease around Nao and her family. I am in awe of Nao's story, her creativity, ambition and commitment to supporting communities. This is a truly valuable experience and would highly recommend.

Abigale is such easy and commit person to be around. She very relax and find her own place and space that be very considered for the community. She can be so creative and push forward her own duty and task until the best and end. She has no hesitate to offer and share her ideas to help us even we have to ask. She very supportive and appreciate the opportunity and space she has here. Feel so much that we can rely on her. And we find out that she has the gift talent to be the ghost writer for us. She can capture our feeling thinking and doing into the very impressive story. Come back.

I totally recommend the eco village and I would definitely come back. Nao makes sure you feel at home, part of the family and included in all activities. Her mom's food is delicious, and her father always have some fruit for us :) The students are lovely, the environment is peaceful and I loved my accommodation. We have motorbike at our disposal, a swimming pool close to the school and a lot of good opportunities to help. We have daily meetings in the morning, where we can hear about her expectations for the day and learn how we can help. it was my first volunteer and I loved the experience!
