The Experience
Welcome, we are located on a mountain just 1.5 hours away from Chiang Mai. Our huts project was created by a group of friends from a Karen village (ethnic minority group), who want to support our local community and accommodate nature and adventure lovers. Nearby we have a beautiful waterfall, and hiking trails. Most of our guests come here and enjoy hiking and cooking classes.

I did lots of different things, which made the experience very interesting. For instance, I helped cooking, cleaning, helping out in the farm and even in the rice field. Even though Por did not speak much English, she still was a great mentor and was always looking out for me. At times it did get a little “lonely” because I was the only volunteer, there were no guests, and Por didn't speak English. But this was a special occasion (Samart is usually around), and it is low season too. But besides that I really recommend it! If you do go during the low season just keep that in mind ;)

I was the only volunteer there at that moment but they were so kind and such a nice hosts! It was hard sometimes the communication (they barely speak English) but we try our best and Google translator was a nice helper. They are 5 min walking from a waterfall and they let me helped them cooking too! It was such a nice experience

We loved our time here at Spicy Villa :) Bandito is lovely and his English is great so communication wasn't an issue. His wife speaks very little English, but she cooks great food and we were able to talk using google translate. It was quiet when we were here, and the only other girl was a solo traveller who left early with us as otherwise she would've been by herself, so it might be worth asking if other volunteers will be there at the same time, as you do have quite a lot of free time which might be hard by yourself. The wifi also was not working when we were here. We ❤️ spicy villa.
