I had a lovely first Worldpackers with the farm. It isn't rice season at the moment but we got to learn lots of other things such as different plants in the mountains and on the farm - we were able to have some of them for breakfast, lunches and dinners which were delicious and well-sized portions. We learnt about karen tribe culture, language and how to make karen clothing with mama sao. We were very grateful to be able to celebrate songkran with the village and met lots of lovely people and the traditions surrounding the holiday. I would really recommend staying with the farm and Mama Sao.

The farm and Mama Sao are the most generous, nurturing and welcoming people. They will make you feel so comfortable and definitely feed you well! The farm is beautiful and it is a great experience in itself to sleep in a hut in the mountains. But as well the farm teaches you so much from muay thai to picking veg for your dinner in the jungle. Mama also taught us lots about karen culture, being patient with us while we made Karen bags and helped her cook. We celebrated songkran with the whole village and everyone welcomed us into their traditions. I cant recommend this experience enough. :)

The farm was a truly immersive experience! He was so so kind to us and always made sure we had enough to eat and that we were comfortable. Mama sao taught us how to make roofing out of leaves and how to make a traditional Karen bag! Quite rustic accommodations, but beautiful land. Thanks the farm and mama sao for everything <3

The farm was awesome! Definitely the place to be if you want an authentic experience and to learn more about local Karen culture. We didn't work a whole lot, but the farm and Mama Sao were really open to teaching and showed the volunteers how to learn by doing. The sleeping accommodations are rustic - my hut was open air with a mosquito net. I really liked this aspect and felt very connected to the natural surrounding! Would recommend this experience if you feel up for spending all of your time outside. A fantastic learning experience, I hope to go back one day!

It's an excellent place to connect with locals, understand thai and Karen culture and be around nature. Mama sao and the farm are very flexible relaxed and kind hosts, they really integrate you in their family. It's a good place to relax if you have been travelling a lot and need to rest. It's better when there are more volunteers because if not it can be boring sometimes. This is because most of the time there is not real work to do, so don't expect a 3h shift. I've had a great time with mama cooking and chatting, send all my love and support to this family💕.
