Our stay at Binsi was a great experience. The land is beautiful and relaxing just in itself. The tasks we were doing were very varied and there is something to do for everybody. From webdesign and construction work to working with kids and cooking, Binsi has it all! The food that is cooked by mom was so delicious and rich. I am very thankful for my time there as we got to use our knowledge as well as learn more about our capabilities.

My Experience at filmsfarm school was amazing. The atmosphere was very relaxed and Nao was very warm. After the first day I felt at home. For me the project was very versatile. Anyone who wants to can create something here that will help the children later in school. I can recommend the project to everyone. More and more children are also being taught, which brings variety to everyday life. For me it was the perfect introduction to the Worldpackers world. Nao was always very helpful with questions and difficulties

My 2 weeks at the eco village was the perfect experience to learn about Thai culture and become immersed in a local culture. I thoroughly enjoyed my job as a dog trainer and surprised myself with learning how to build a sustainable mud house. Nao and her family were the perfect hosts, making sure all the volunteers were happy, well fed, and learning about her world in fun ways. Nao went above and beyond by taking us to the movies, the local pool, hot springs, and night markets. I loved being surrounded by nature and couldn't recommend this experience more :)

Left a lil bit of heart there ❤️ I had the most wonderful time, met people from all around the world and got to learn about Thai culture. Nao is been an amazing host, she had shown care and interest from day one (also brought me to the hospital for food poisoning - don't worry not from mums food). The slow life settings allowed me to fully relax, and enjoy the beautiful nature around the house. Nao is also very flexible with tasks and working schedule and made the whole experience be even better to what I was expecting 💕 I hope to be back soon

Sara is the Character! She might be the volunteer that call my name the Most of time. She is kind of person who not hestitate to help what she can and offer what she could. She loves to get thing done. She also very funny and joyful or sometime not clumsy and fogetful. But she known her niech well and know that it is time for her to explore and be out in the world. Glad to know and have her here, and sure that she will come back soon. :)
