My time on the farm was incredibly immersive. the farm has the kindest soul and introduced me to his family, Karen culture, and amazing campfire-cooked food. There wasn't work to be done, as rice planting had just finished, so I mostly spent my time relaxing and weaving a Karen bag with Mama Sao. Facilities are extremely basic - you cannot get much more connected to nature than this! Thanks for the memories, the farm!

We had such a great time with the farm! he is so interesting to be around and always brings such warm, positive energy. we spent 4 days at the farm and despite catching a little cold had a wonderful time and felt really taken care of. the facilities are really basic but it's wonderful to be in close touch with nature (no fridge, shower, dirt floors & outdoor sleeping). when we were there there wasn't too much to do, but the farm still made sure to have an activity for us every day, going to the waterfall, getting fruit, finding wood to burn, or making bamboo cups. would definitely recommend!

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
