Only through WP was I inspired to come to this gem of a Province. Having a tour of the premises gave me so much more insight into the impact of this community making me fall more in love with this place. Everyday was eventful, full of new tasty meals, and I'm ever so grateful for every person I met there. I enjoyed planting and making the place look pretty. Wish I was there longer to do Saturday school more. Some suggestions to guests:• have smaller bills for purchases as holding change. • their main school bus driver is your "taxi". Ridesshare doesn't pick up from here.

My experience at the community was fantastic. Living and teaching yoga for a month in the jungle was unique and fascinating. The project is noble and truly useful, and being part of it was a pleasure. I miss the kids I taught every morning, and working with such small groups (sometimes just one student) was a chance to try something new and rewarding, seeing real progress in little time. The food was great, the accommodation excellent, the people wonderful. I couldn't have asked for more, and I hope to see you all again very soon!

Mirco,
I am so sorry to know that my review was rated as a 4 instead of a 5!!! Touchscreen mistake. I tried to correct it via Worldpackers, but it was not possible, helas!
So, for everybody reading this: Mirco is a 5 STAR volunteer!

I feel like five stars are not enough ! This place is paradise on Earth, and you will be treated with respect and kindness. I want to say I feel like this place was the best place I've ever had the opportunity and the pleasure to be in. The things you will do are so important, and you will discover yourself too. I am so glad to have had the chance to be here. I will come back for sure. Also, the food here is the best food ever ! The amazing chef is so nice, and she will explain all the ingredients and make you understand better the Thai cuisine.

One of the most beautiful experiences I have had in my life !! A magical place, surrounded by nature, where you can find peace and relax. The people I met were special, I had the opportunity to work with wonderful children and do many activities. I also did gardening . There are many other really beautiful activities (such as Yoga classes, with a great teacher, Thai massages and excursions). I must say that the cooks were also very good, the food was really excellent. Now I love Thai food. I can only say thank you for this wonderful experience!!! Highly recommended place.

I just spent two weeks at Ecologics and I highly recommend it! The environment is beautiful, in the jungle. The tasks mainly consist of gardening, and helping at the school on Saturdays. The yoga classes were really nice, and the meals delicious. And the people there are sooo lovely ! I was supposed to stay for a week, and I extended for another week ! Thanks again for everything.
