I stayed at this the project for almost two weeks and it was a wonderful and enriching experience. I needed 1-2 days to get used to it because it is totally different to my life in Germany. I learned a lot about sustainable agriculture, the project forests and tropical plants and the Thai culture. The hosts were very kind, made vegetarian the project for me, were pretty knowledgeable and open to sharing their skills and stories and always had time for me. I enjoyed working outdoors and helping out. There is always something new to learn and observe. Thx for hosting me, I will come back again 😉

For me personally, this experience didn't meet the expectations created by the program description and schedule, as the actual conditions on site were significantly different; while I am comfortable with simple accommodation, the hygiene standards were below an acceptable level, including insects and rodents in the sleeping area, which raised concerns about my health and led me to leave after the first night. I would like to acknowledge the kindness and understanding of the local coordinator, who supported my decision and assisted me in reaching the bus station.

This place was not as described. I understand rural life, but basic cleanliness, safety, and transparency were missing. There was no real meditation guidance, the work was construction, and the living conditions were cold and dirty (including pests, mouse). the project hygiene was poor. The biggest red flag was being asked not to leave a review when we decided to leave. People deserve to know what to expect.

We sincerely apologize for the disappointment you experienced and deeply regret that you were unable to experience our full variety of activities due to you leaving in the very first night.

I'm humbly accept our shortcomings regarding the facilities, communication and other, and we are fully committed to improving :)

We are appreciate your honest review.

I had a great time here! The volunteer tasks (3-4 hours/day) change daily and you have a lot of freedom. I harvested rice, weeded gardens, planted, helped with cooking, and even helped with catering for an event at the local Buddhist temple! You get to know a lot of local people, who are all friendly and welcoming. Meditation is a big part of the experience here; you practice daily and learn the basics from a local monk (if you want to)! Isara was kind and despite being busy, really tries to make your experience good. Only downside (for me): 7 dogs and 7 cats who want to eat whatever you eat

Very nice experience overall. Net and Isara are very kind and caring, they arranged different activities for every day so it was interesting to see always something new. In addition practising meditation in the temple with the monks was a unique thing. On the top of that, it was special to live for some days in such a close community; everyone in the village was welcoming and many people offered me fruits and sweets.

Thank you for this unforgettable experience! I learned a new meditation technique, and i feel like i've already benefitted from it after only staying a week here! I learned to garden, harvest rice and make thai dishes. Definitely recommend!!!

This experience was my first time with worldpackers and it was really great. Net and Isara were always so kind to me and making sure I felt welcome and was feeling good. I learned so much about meditation and mindfulness and how to practice in daily life. I also met many of the locals and experience how they live and work. I went on a rice farm, coffee farm, helped with building a big raft from bamboo trees for the festival, helped in a restaurant, learned thai cooking and many many more. All the locals were always very friendly and welcoming to me. I had the best time with them.

Piriya and his father are both such kind and open-minded people, who made me feel like home (and their dogs are also soo lovely). They truly inspired me and I learnd a lot from them! :) Local people in the village were also soo friendly and smiling at me all the time! I had so many amazing experiences, such as teaching English to a lovely girl, harvesting rice, cooking-classes, helping at an organic farm, waterfall tour.... They organized everything for me that I wanted to do! Appreciate it so much! I loved this experience! Thank you for everything!

This experience was the type of experience I had been wanting to have my entire time travelling! They were super respectful, knowledgeable, accommodating, and extremely fruitful to learn from and spend time with. I felt very taken care of from the moment I arrived and picked me up from the bus station. I learned so much about how to practice meditation in every move in life and I got experiences with locals that were particularly catered to my interest!! I got to Thai dance and participate in their Buddhist festival, teach yoga to a local nurse , and teach English to two little girls :)

I had a really good time with Piriya and his father! even if I was there during the rainy season I really enjoyed it, the best part was absolutely taking meditation lessons from Piriya father, a very unique experience. I recommend this experience to everybody who wants to be in nature and improve his meditation skills.
