Had a truly wonderful time volunteering at Ban Bon Doi, Paweena and Pingpong were very accommodating and flexible. They gave us all the opportunity to see the lantern festival, when I got sick they took me to the doctor and let me stay a day extra. Can not recommend this place enough.

This is a great volunteer position if you are looking to take a step back from constantly moving around and obtain a routine for just a little bit during your trip! This was my first volunteer opportunity and it went very lovely, it was exactly what I needed! I was housed and fed for a week and a half and just let myself recover from bouncing around! The staff are very kind, lovely people and you'll have a great time here!

I had a nice time at Ban Bon Doi, I met some amazing people in my two weeks stay. The work wasn't hard and I enjoyed it so much. The children and adults I got to speak to and teach were all so lovely and they were the highlight of my stay. The location is quite far out of Chiang Mai, meaning it is very difficult to get around, our last resort was hitchhiking. Sadly, no day trips were held during our stay so we didn't get to leave the home stay much, we would have loved to do bamboo rafting or any activity. However, Ping Pong and Paweena were lovely and created a very relaxed atmosphere. :)

Thank you so much, Autumn. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. The children and adults loved learning from you, and your positive energy made a big difference here.

Our homestay is indeed far from the city, so we truly appreciate your understanding. We’re sorry we couldn’t arrange any day trips during your visit, and we hope we can take you on activities like bamboo rafting next time.

You were a wonderful volunteer, and you’re always welcome back at Ban Bon Doi. 💛

Foi realmente muito bom voluntariar na escola School. As instalações são ótimas, as horas justas e há possibilidade tanto de conectar com viajantes internacionais quanto de imergir mais na cultura local (aulas de culinária, passeios guiados).

I'm really enjoying my time here. It's beautiful, and the job is good. It's pretty far away from Chiang May, but I don't mind. You have shops close to the accommodation. Very grateful with Paweena and her family.

This is my first volunteer teaching position, and it's been wonderful. It's a great opportunity to practice speaking while also experiencing the demands of teaching. Furthermore, with the food, common area activities, events offered, and their warm hospitality, Paweena and Ping Pong are among the best hosts you could ever meet <3

They run a lovely place here. We had a lot of space for our volunteering responsibilities and ourselves. Life here is pretty calm but not lonely. There are usually other volunteers you can spend time with. Owners and staff are very sweet. A lot of street vendors around, if finding cheaper fruits and vegetables means to you. This experience is a fresh breath of air
