The Experience

My name is Watchara and I have been a tour guide for 10 years. I am a former Buddhist monk and school with experience in teaching meditation techniques. I am offering a unique Thai experience that allows me to be a part of your wonderful trip to Thailand. The facilities are simple but clean, with a shared toilet and washing facilities, and small bamboo thatch roofed houses for sleeping. There is no electricity in the farm.

My week in the farm was Amazing. The whole experience is in my good books. the farm and his family is Amazing. They would give us a lot of food 3 times a day and always ask if we need more. It was an experience living in the farm with basic necessities of life. We learned a lotabout nature and how to sustain it. Mainly developing skills in ecological way and how less it needs to live a healthy happy life. The meditation and work at the farm was easy and required a little focus. It was the best experience living away from the city busy life and experiencing the life in nature. Thank you

I have no words to describe this experience. the farm is one of his kind, always smiling and open to answer questions. He does so many things for others without asking anything in return, what a great man he is! The family is great and I felt part of their lives immediately, Dang cooks great food and Fon is very sweet. You will be shocked at the beginning as their life is totally opposite to the frenetic chaos of the city, but as you progress you start appreciating the simple things and this place will leave you a piece of the farm which will always stay with you. Thank you the farm family!

Amazing experience!!! I have no words to explain how grateful I feel to had the opportunity of being in the farm. I miss them already. We enjoyed family time, had activities with locals, worked un the farm, sang together and have so much fun. The place is beautiful and you really connect with nature. You connect with the power of basic living, delicious food from Dang's and very warm conversations with Whatchara. If you really want to know Thai culture, enjoy nature and want you connect with your inner self in a green place, this is!!! Thanks Whatchara, Dang and Fone ❤️❤️

I feel nothing but affection and gratitude for Dang, the farm and Phone for the experience I shared with them and the other volunteers. My only advice is to be ready for a very natural environment, wich can sometimes feel challenging, and if possible to coincide with other volunteers. I truly recommend it.

I had a wonderful experience staying with the farm and his family for 8 days! Whilst there I had so much free time to immerse myself in nature, hang out with the other volunteers, and get to know the local area where we stayed. Dang's cooking was also incredible!! The mattress I slept on was unfortunately a bit uncomfortable, so keep that in mind. Overall I was able to practice meditation thoroughly and really dedicate my time to relaxing during my travels. I made lifelong friends with my fellow volunteers as well, it was such a wholesome experience! Thank you the farm family!
