Highly recommend! This place gave me so much room to just exist in the way that I needed to. The space is dynamic, with foliage, critters, hammocks, ping pong (the game), and more. You have a lot of freedom to do whatever you need; rest, exercise, explore, meditate, create, soul search, socialize, etc. The facilities could use some improvement - the beds are a little hard and there is only one warm shower, but if you come with expectation of living in a natural environment, you'll do fine. If you struggle to live simply or in close proximity with others, this is probably not the place for you.

I stayed 3 weeks in Brianstorm, and they were great, the work is not hard, the food is good and the place is beautiful a little far from chiang mai but its a good place to rest and connect with nature! Ping pong is a great host and always super interested to do activities for the volunteers.

My time here was amazing. The house is beautiful, the hosts and staffare really nice and the experience overall was great. The 2 meals provided were good and the online work is fair. The relationships I made with fellow volunteers were great and I recommend this volunteering to anyone that wants a beautiful place to relax in the best part of Thailand. Until next time and thank you for everything! :)

I stayed 2 weeks. The place is perfect if you're looking for a quiet place to rest, recharge, and plan your next trips. The food is great and very flexible with volunteers' diets. The staff is friendly and helpful ❤. The facilities are nice, and there's a local market 25 minutes away and a 7-Eleven about 10 minutes from the house. It's about one hour from Chiang Mai, but you can get around with Bolt, Grab, or local rides. I worked with 16 volunteers so yes, you will get fun! ;) Kapunkaaa for all! ✨🙏🏻 Ps: text me if you wanna know more about my experience :)
