Staying with the Sai Mai School in Bangkok was a dream. From day one, they made us feel like family. Their project is amazing and it felt really meaningful to be a small part of it. You can tell how much love and sacrifice they put into everything they do — it's truly inspiring. The community around them is super warm and welcoming, and the vibe in the house is just chef's kiss. I left with my heart full, new friends, and a few Thai words I probably shouldn't repeat in public. 10/10 experience — if you get the chance to stay with them, don't even hesitate.

I am deeply grateful for your kindness and warm hospitality during my time in Saimai. From the very beginning, you welcomed me with open arms, making me feel at home, and I truly appreciate every moment spent with you. Being part of your projects was an enriching experience, and I feel honored to have contributed in any way I could. Your generosity and dedication have left a lasting impression on me, and I will always cherish the memories we've shared. Thank you once again for everything!

I really recommend this host family! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness and everyone in the family is incredibly friendly. Unfortunately, I had to leave earlier due to personal reasons, so I only spent a few days there. Even in such a short time, I learned so much about the community and there's plenty of free time to explore. Book is a lovely girl and I was so sad to leave.

Amazing experience! It was my first destination outside Brazil and I was able to feel at home, I connected a lot with everyone in the family, they are all very kind, simple and welcoming. The activities with the kids and the local park are super fun. I learned a lot in these two weeks, I will miss everyone a lot and I highly recommend this project!
