Oat was a welcoming and helpful host. I'm very grateful for the meals and accommodation he provided for me during this trip. His son Asia is an energetic and polite child who can communicate very well in English and knows some basic Chinese. The work was very fun thanks to the home planning - he made sure that we had a variety of activities to do, including a scavenger hunt, picking fruits, and indoor playground. Volunteers have free time every afternoon and on the weekends, so I was able to meet some lovely locals in Chumphon and Koh Tao during the stay. Thank you so much!

Oat has been a wonderful host. The time spent together with Oat and Asia rather felt like spending time with friends than working. I had the chance to take part in a buddhist ceremony at his aunts house and this has been an incredible experience for me. Oat is a reflected and patient father to Asia, a lovely and lively boy already very proficient in English. The house I stayed in was more than generous. Thank you very much for the past week!

I felt very welcomed by Oat, him and his family were very kind and accommodating of my arrival and stay. We did a lot of activities around and it left me a lot of personal time to explore and so my own things. The place I was staying at was very big and clean. This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers and I recommend it to anyone who likes to be immersed in the local Thai culture and exchange life and language experience. I really enjoyed my stay at Chumpon. Krub Kun Ka Oat and Asia! Wishing you all the best, take care 🤗

I spent a week with Oat and Asia and had an incredible experience! Oat was a fantastic host—warm, welcoming, and instantly made me feel at home. He really went above and beyond to help me during my stay there. The “work” really wasn't work at all. Just going to different places and doing various activities together, basically just helping to create an English speaking environment for Asia. I learned so much about Thai culture through this exchange, and it was fascinating to experience Thailand from a local perspective rather than the usual tourist approach.

This was a great work exchange to experience local life in a small town in Thailand. Asia is a cute little boy with a lot of energy and Oat was very accommodating, cooking breakfast for me everyday and giving tips of what to see in Chumphon. I would work 5-6 hours in the morning and have the afternoons free to myself. The role is simple - mainly playing with Asia and speaking to him in English, rather than set language lessons. Some of the activities we did during working hours included visiting arcades, picking fruit in the home garden, cooking waffles and visiting the beach.

I loved the stay I had; it was a great time, and I was able to escape a bit from the craziness of big cities to be in a small village surrounded by welcoming strangers. Ots family is very hospitable, and it's a pleasure to work with them. I was able to enjoy, learn, and do what I love. If anyone wants more information, they can contact me privately.

I recently volunteered with Oat, and it was a fantastic experience. Oat was incredibly welcoming and responsive, going out of his way to accommodate my vegan diet with delicious meals. The work was manageable, giving me plenty of time to explore Chumphon with Oat and Asia, who introduced me to local culture and activities. My guesthouse was cozy and private, perfect for unwinding after a day out. If you're looking for a relaxing break while traveling, I highly recommend this experience. Thanks, Oat, for a wonderful stay!

The time I spent volunteering for Oat was fantastic! It was quite a relaxed and chill position so was perfect as a small break from backpacking. I had my own small house with a kitchen, fridge, bedroom and bathroom so was exactly what I needed. I definitely recommend this experience to anybody who wants somewhere to recharge their social battery while travelling or wants to learn more about the Thai language and culture! I also had tonnes of free time to do whatever I wanted in Chumphon.

I would recommend this volunteering experience to anyone and thank you Oat for welcoming me with open arms to your family. The volunteering experience which is around 5-6 hours a day only & on weekdays is super fun and it gives you a chance to learn more about the Thai culture which is super cool. We would do things like go to the arcade, play in a playground, play games together and visit traditional Thai experiences. Asia is the cutest little soul and he was a pleasure to be a friend to. The room is really nice and super private! Thank you so much Oat for allowing me to do this experience

Amazing experience with Oat and Asia, I felt very comfortable, safe and happy with them. Oat always made sure I was good, helped me sort any problem I could face due to the cultural differences and made sure we always had a lot fun. Very recommended host and looking forward to meet them again.
