I had a great time volunteering at the school. The students were adorable and eager to learn. The staff, and the owners: Pingpong and Paweena made me feel right at home. During weekends, Pingpong took us on a bamboo rafting trip and also group dinners and drinking, which made the experience even more special. I felt a little sad when I left, coz it was truly a memorable and heartwarming experience. The group of volunteers during my time was also very engaged and sociable, we had a great time! Highly recommended.

I had an amazing time there! The staff was nice, the food was good, and the job was interesting! It was a great experience speaking and teaching English online to locals, from kids to adults. Being there really gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in the local life, even getting to join local festivals. Spending time with PingPong and going bamboo rafting were really cool experiences too!

I really enjoyed my time here! As I was volunteering in Vietnam as a english teacher before the video calls were very easy going- I thought face to face and with a big group of people can sometimes be more challenging. But here you can really focus on one person and help them improve!! The students were also so nice!! And the team very flexible and understanding 🫶🏻 AND the food amazing🤭 (I like self cooked meals and it was not too unhealthy)- like rice or noodles :) you are a bit far from the town but I didn't mind - there are busses and people take u too :)

I stayed 2 week with then and it was amazing. I had so much fun teaching, something that I've never thought I'd do, and it was easier than I thought. The home stay was simply beautiful, it is a very chill and welcoming place, where everyone is very friendly. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the food was great. It is a bit far from markets and 7 eleven, but it is an okay walking until there. They also offer a bamboo rafting in a place where locals goes, and that was so much fun. I'd suggest to apply for this volunteer, you won't regret it

"I had an unforgettable experience volunteering at Brain Storm! I made amazing friends from around the world and connected with wonderful local friends who taught me Thai words and sentences whenever we met. The peaceful setting was perfect for meditation and relaxation, and the staff were incredibly helpful, always smiling, and made me feel like I was home. This was hands-down the best time I had during my travels across Thailand. I can't wait to return to Brain Storm next time I'm in Chiang Mai!"

My experience was amazing! The staff were so kind and welcoming, and I got along really well with the other volunteers. The students I taught were eager to learn, which made teaching enjoyable. The homestay property was beautiful, with plenty of relaxing areas to unwind when I wasn't teaching.

Pingpong and his family are truly amazing people. The staff literally became like my family here—they're some of the nicest people I've ever met, and I know they'll be lifelong friends. And people who I stayed with was amazing too. This was my first volunteering experience, and I actually extended my stay because I really enjoyed the teaching job. While staying here, I even enrolled in a TEFL course to get my teaching qualification, since there's so much free time. I just want to say thank you so much to everyone who made my experience unbelievably good. I didn't like, I loveeeeee it! <3 :)
