I tried writing this review many times but there isn't enough word allowance for my experience. I will say this, the work and rules are exactly as listed. I had an awful experience. This is a cult. I left on day three. Another volunteer treated me terribly and yelled at me in front of everyone. Later that day the main “monk” yelled at me as well. I later spoke to my Thai friends about my time and they said this isn't how real monks behave and we were def in a cult. I want to give the full story with all the pros and cons but unfortunately I can't. Anyone can message me for more information.

La experiencia fue buena pero hay que tener en cuenta que más que un voluntariado es un retiro espiritual y no tenes casi tiempo libre para vos

La experiencia es maravillosa, la forma en que ellas te explican sus historias, la disciplina del budismo y su forma de vivir y pensar, es realmente algo que me cambio completamente la mente. El trabajo en cambio es un poco agotador y no permite salir mucho del templo ya que las 5 hrs de trabajo están divididas en 2 hrs am, 2 hrs pre almuerzo y una hora por la tarde, aparte de que no queda muy cerca de atracciones principales. Si bien como voluntariado para aprender e introducirse en el mundo del budismo es una experiencia agradable, no la pude complementar para conocer los al rededores

Being at the Center was a good growing experience. I won't lie, it's hard work. It's a lot of landscaping in the high heat. But along with the Center, waking up early, and the general structure of the place it teaches you discipline. You learn a lot about Buddhism and the lifestyle of the monks as well. I'd recommend this for travelers who need to rein in for a few weeks and seriously work on themselves. Not so much for the faint of heart.

Thank you for the interesting conversations with monks, but unfortunately, I learned little new about Buddhism. I was surprised that the lady monks of the temple ignored rules buddhist life.During the evening chanting, the head monk Punya Panya criticized the male monks, spoke badly about the male monks who came every evening for prayers. I was confused when she flipped them bird (demonstrated the middle finger). Unfortunately, I didn't feel safety during my stay because of the aggressive dog. It bit the other volunteer's leg. It walks freely without a leash and can attack suddenly.

Estar 10 días de voluntaria en este centro ha sido una experiencia increíble. Vine aquí para conocer más sobre el budismo y aprender cada día. He conseguido estas dos cosas y mucho más. Si lo que quieres es aprender a meditar, a valorar lo que tienes y a estar tranquilo, este es tu lugar. Las tareas diarias son muy fáciles y flexibles. No todas las monks hablan inglés, pero al final siempre acabábamos entendiéndonos genial. Me voy muy contenta de haber vivido y aprendido tanto en estos últimos días.

Este voluntariado me ha permitido empezar a descubrir el budismo y la meditación, camino que me interesa seguir descubriendo. El entorno del centro es ideal, uno siempre encuentra el rincón de paz que busca, y si necesita ayuda siempre la encuentra. He echado en falta mayor interacción con las monjas y el personal (pocos hablan inglés), tambien una gestión mas proactiva de los voluntarios: check in mas eficiente y tareas de mayor valor añadido. Veo más recomendable este voluntariado a quien se haya iniciado en budismo y/o meditación, creo que podrá entender mejor el día a día.

I had an amazing time volunteering in the Center. Everyone (including monks) work hard with a long schedule, but this is also good learnings because show to ourselves where is our limits. I felt connect to the others international volunteers and with the local people too. We had the chance to do real social impact activities, like help to cook and deliver food for the community. It was really gratifying. It was amazing to be there in the Buddha's Day ceremonies. Last but not least, I loved all dogs (mainly Popcorn). the Center's time forever will be part of my heart.
