The homestay from which I did the volunteering was truly beautiful, clean and peaceful. The staff and fellow volunteers created an amazing atmosphere to truly be able to live a slow paced and fullfilling experience. The students we taught online were varying in age, experience level and motivation. This made the teaching experience fun, exciting and sometimes a bit challenging (which I liked). I also learned a lot from the students as they are very keen on telling about themselves. I reccomend this place for sure as all facilitaties were perfectly in order.

I spent a week teaching English online at Ban Bon Doi Homestay. It's nestled in a peaceful village (Mao Wang) near Chiang Mai, the food is delicious, and the people (staff and students) are incredibly kind and welcoming. The hosts and her team, go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The facilities are clean and comfortable, and the teaching schedule is manageable: 4–6 online classes, five days a week. You'll be creating your own lessons, spending time outdoors, and connecting deeply with the local community or just chill.

Loved my stay here! 💚 Kind people, delicious food (2x/day), and a gorgeous natural setting. I taught students aged 6 to 60, some became best friends , some hilarious troublemakers. You'll be outdoors a lot, making your own lessons (Engoo is great for ideas). Schedule: 4–6 classes, 5 nights a week. The village is peaceful, 40 mins from Chiang Mai, with a 7-Eleven and market 13 mins away. Perfect if you love nature, meaningful connections, and a slower pace. Bring bug spray & a big smile!

You’ll always have a home waiting for you here in Mae Wang whenever you wish to return. 🌿

I cannot speak more highly of Paweena and her entire team. They make you feel welcome and provide you with everything you need. The work is self-explanatory and easy, the facilities are clean and comfortable and the entire land the school is in is beautiful. Would recommend anyone who is interested in teaching English on a voluntary basis to come here. Just know that the lessons are online, not in person. Thank you once again Paweena for this opportunity, I will most definitely come back in the future!
