Authentic Thai experience in Pangteom Village, Sameong City

Italy

5

Amazing experience immersed in nature, I got to know better Thai culture, and the farm family is so nice and welcoming. We worked a couple of hours per day depending on what it was needed, but to be honest the atmosphere is so chill. I spent Christmas with the other volunteers and I felt at home, and the farm brought us on a trekking in the jungle. Also, Dang's food is so good! One of my favorite moments was staying around the fire in the evening, talking with the other travelers and connecting with each other. I can't thank the farm family enough for taking care of me while I was sick!

I stayed at the farm's Farm for one week and I have the absolute best time. I really learned to slow down and live the life that's mindful and fulfilling. I feel very at ease after the week of staying there. the farm and Dang are great. They will always take care of you. The work consists of various tasks: picking woods, farming, building fences…but my favorite task is to help Dang cook! Dang makes the most delicious food! It is always so fresh and tasty and you'll never be hungry. I also met the best people on the farm - the other volunteers. Each person is a precious soul!

This is a true experience in the nature. I recommend to go to the ecofarm during the hot season and not the rainy one. Dang's kitchen is truly marvellous and she is caring as a second mom to everyone. There is no electricity and no WiFi so be aware of that. Bring mosquito spray and try not to be afraid of spiders :) I think one week is enough to stay here.

My stay at the farm was enjoyable! the work itself was physically intens for me, but very rewarding. we cut bamboo in the jungle and brought them to make a big temple. the food was very delicious, donc always says "want more?" the place itself is also very beautiful. kawp khun ka the farm 🙏

Beautiful farm, just as described. Very rustic but that's what I was looking for. I was there on my own, but the experience would have been better if other volunteers were there, so it's worth checking that beforehand. The work was easy and interesting. Lots of free time to paint/ read. As much food as I could ever eat! About a two hour journey to get to the farm in a songthaew, so quite remote! Bring a power bank because they can charge it over night (I also had 4G when I was there so you have still use your phone if you want)

Pros Peacefull, surrounded by nature, meet the locals, nice family Cons One day the farm took me to an elephant sanctuary, after he had assured me it was good for the elephants, I saw them being beaten with a stick and hook, abused and used for riding. I can not support a place that willingly supports animal abuse. Also burning of trash about 100m from the farm. Do not come here from Feb-April, air pollution really is hazardous for you. This is not providing a sustainable future at all. There was no work for me while I was here so did not get the exchange I was expecting. More like Air Bnb

An amazing experience for people that are interested in learning new skills including teaching English, meditation, Buddhism, building bamboo construction and so much more! I enjoyed the part that there was no electricity so it was a perfect opportunity for phone detox and the spare time I had, I mostly read or chatted with other volunteers. Easy to make friends since everyone was so nice and lovely!

I stayed 11 days in the farm. It was an interesting experience. The communication was hard and I had very little interaction with the farm. The advantage was that we were able to go to a school near Myamar and meet the Karen ethnic group.

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and it was pretty great overall! I had some trouble getting to the farm, but the farm was super accommodating and helpful along the way, which I really really appreciated. There wasn't actually that much to do in terms of work throughout my time here. However, the farm was helpful in giving recommendations for things me and others could do, and also in planning excursions for us occasionally! Getting to meet other like minded volunteers was definitely a highlight as well. If you're coming in the winter, I recommend packing some extra warm layers!
