If even a small part of yourself is urging you to take this adventure, please trust yourself, and go for it! the eco village is everything it says it is and more. With that said, I don't want to say anything more to spoil it for you, other than I am feeling 11/10 even after I have gone :D

I really enjoyed my stay at the eco village, I planned to stay a week but ended up staying longer. I learned a lot about sustainable farming, Lan Na traditions, cooking and music. It's also a good place to get in touch with eastern philosophy and Buddhist teachings. If you are open and eager to learn and show some initiative you can learn a lot and have a great time with Pinan Jim and Pinan Tea.

The eco village is a place where u can heal from everything! Pinan Jim and Pinan Tea are really welcomming and have a lot of wisdom to share with you about different areas such as buddhism, meditation techiques, lanna style, permaculture, thai food and much more! i had some interest in chi energy and it concept and Pinan has some experience with it, so he could taught me the basics in the short time i was there, was amazing. U have a small village near where u can have acess to most of the basic stuff u need and try some lanna style food! thank you teacher Pinan Jim, im really gratefull!😊

It is truly a "mind-blowing" experience. the eco village Farm is definitely more than a farm and any amount of time spent here can only help the guests, in any way they need. From the wonderful, home-cooked food, to the beautiful nature surrounding you, it's a magical place. Pinan is simply the cherry on top of the cake, that made my stay there unforgettable. It's great if you want to just stay there and relax for a few days, but for people who are looking to learn more about buddhism and spirituality, it is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn right from the source!

Pinan is a very nice person, he enjoyed cooking for us every meal and told us many stories about other volunteers and how long he's been living there and hosting volunteers. We were planning to stay for one week but unfortunately after three days we decided to leave. Since we arrived we did nothing except helping cutting some vegetables for Pinan to cook. The experience was nice but we were feeling very useless. That was not what we were expecting. Moreover the farm is far away from the "village", so there is nothing to do around. A bus only comes once a day, so no option for a daily trip.

I went back and forth with enjoying the experience to hating it. Pinan Jim has a lot of knowledge to bring but I felt like his teaching was very harsh at points (physically taking things out of my hand without explanation he would just finish it, grading me on philosophical answers to random questions) went from positive praise to unkindly comparing me to other volunteers and back. Thought maybe it was me or a cultural thing but his wife was extremely kind (didn't get to spend much time with her sadly) left a month early because I felt like I was going crazy with some of the gas lighting/li

HHH is an opportunity to get out of your comfort zone as a western tourist and learn more about the life of people of the Lan Na community. Pinan has lot of knowledge about medical herbs, buddism, guitar playing, traditional cooking, local languages, survival skills... He welcomes questions and is eager for you to learn from him to his own pace. He hosted a lot of volunteers in his life and he speaks openly about what he thinks. The workload is fair and there's plenty of time to rest in the afternoons. I'm grateful for what I've learned.
