This was definitely one of the most memorable experiences of my life! It was my first time volunteering with Worldpackers, and I'm so glad I chose to come to Film Farm School. I thought I was going to share something with the kids, but in the end, I was the one who received so much and felt healed by their pure, kind souls. I always felt welcomed, both at the house and the school, which made me feel comfortable all the time. There was also plenty of free time for relaxing, playing with the dogs, and enjoying my hobbies. If you're looking for a place to start your new journey, this is the one!

I feel so blessed to have had an opportunity to help now is mission and creating a community that merges growth and sustainability. She is one of the most amazing people I've ever met along with her extremely caring and thoughtful family, you truly get a local experience while being able to be a part of something so amazing. I gained many skills in adoptability, communication, and overall knowledge. I was able to tap into my creativity while helping Nao wherever I could. She makes the experience that much better by making an effort to show you local sights & go venture on your own. :)

Parting is such sweet sorrow! What a joy it was to live with Nao and her family! Teaching and becoming involved in village life was truly a life changing experience, and the jungle background makes it all the more rejuvenating. I would definitely recommend this project for volunteers who are flexible, willing to learn new things and help in whatever way you can, while also taking some time to rest. We made a podcast episode if you want to know more of my thoughts :) https://youtu.be/Dos6tQyzMFw?si=LSkrSzwiU7gZ4oJz Nao is going to change the world, so get involved while you can!!

I spent two weeks volunteering at films farm School, however if I was able, I would've spent much longer. My role as a volunteer was varied, I helped with teaching, building and writing during my time on the farm. But I also had lots of free time to spend as I wished; being with nature, meditating, swimming in the local pool and socialising with locals and the other volunteers. I felt very welcome and at ease around Nao and her family. I am in awe of Nao's story, her creativity, ambition and commitment to supporting communities. This is a truly valuable experience and would highly recommend.

Abigale is such easy and commit person to be around. She very relax and find her own place and space that be very considered for the community. She can be so creative and push forward her own duty and task until the best and end. She has no hesitate to offer and share her ideas to help us even we have to ask. She very supportive and appreciate the opportunity and space she has here. Feel so much that we can rely on her. And we find out that she has the gift talent to be the ghost writer for us. She can capture our feeling thinking and doing into the very impressive story. Come back.

I totally recommend the eco village and I would definitely come back. Nao makes sure you feel at home, part of the family and included in all activities. Her mom's food is delicious, and her father always have some fruit for us :) The students are lovely, the environment is peaceful and I loved my accommodation. We have motorbike at our disposal, a swimming pool close to the school and a lot of good opportunities to help. We have daily meetings in the morning, where we can hear about her expectations for the day and learn how we can help. it was my first volunteer and I loved the experience!

I spent a great week at Nao and her family's house. They are very good people, helpful and super kind. Her mom cooked us exquisite Thai food all week. Nao was always willing to help us with our tasks, and she also took us to visit several local markets and attractive places. In my case, I was working in the carpentry building a furniture that we then placed in one of the rooms. My work was calm and without pressures. I really had a great week there, I made new friends and had a lot of fun. I highly recommend that you do this volunteering

We had a very nice week! We just went the last week of school for the children so we tried to make sure everyone had fun, the work wasn't hard at all, although we organized, cleaned, taught English, cooked, played and Fran built a furniture, we felt like we were having a good time with friends 🥰 We loved sharing with your family and friends Nao! We are happy we did it! thank you very much for everything 😊

It has been a pleasure to be part of the eco village. First of all thank to you Nao, i considered you are such a professional person, very ambitious and your ideas to carry with the project are very clear, making it even more productive. I've been helping with the web page, but the main objective of the farm is to receive and teach English to children. From the beginning I have felt integrated into the project, i had a great time hanging out in the village with the other volunteers and some new local friends. I truly recommend to be part of filmfarmschool for a long time!! See u soon Nao!

It has been a pleasure to has Ivan appearing at Filmsfarmschool. His childlike and giggle on everything lived up the place and others around. You were willing to try out and be part in any projects in community. Loving to see you cooking from Yaya recipe and even called to wake her up to help from Spain. You were like our little brother in family and community. The golden fish will miss you and wait for you to change the water for them. Come back for the Smart city project in Lamhun. I think you actually come to be here for this reason.
