Authentic Thai experience in Pangteom Village, Sameong City

Belgium

5

It was our first experience with Worldpackers and it was a good one. The host and his family were very friendly and welcoming. Because of illness we didn't stay for long but we could experience being a part of the community in the village, during a funeral and see how the entire village came together. It was very nice with in the morning a mediation walk and in the evening sitting around the campfire together.

I spent 11 nights at this wonderful farm. The experience was so many things - surreal, immersive, beautiful, fun, educational, fulfilling and then some. the farm and Dang are wonderful hosts! They are so warm and good hearted. Dang's cooking is out of this world! The farm is beautiful and the perfect place to get in touch with nature and live a more simple and basic existence. I unfortunately didn't get to do much farming or gardening as I'd hoped because it's burning season but that didn't stop this being a very rewarding experience. Please feel free to message me with any questions. X

It was my first time volunteering abroad and I absolutely loved it! the farm snd his family welcomed me with open arms and were super nice. It was nice learning more about Thai cuisine and seeing up close the cooking process. the farm wanted us to learn more about the village so we got free time to explore the area. Loved doing the daily meditations. My favorite part of the day was sitting around the campfire while we all talked.

I really enjoyed my stay at the farm farms! This was my first work exchange, and it was a great first experience! the farm, Deng, and Phone were all very welcoming and kind. The food was really delicious, I know I'm going to miss it. I stayed 7 nights. We had two days off, for one of them we attended a funeral, and the other the farm took us trekking through the jungle which was really fun. The other days were mostly spent collecting and cutting wood and bamboo. I would recommend this work exchange for anyone who wants to connect with nature and practice meditation. Thank you the farm!

I truly loved my experience at the farm and I will recommend it to anyone who wants to reconnect with nature and simple things, learn more about buildings with bambous, share moments with an incredible Thaï family, and last but not least, eat amazing thai food. While I was there, the work was more about construction than farming or gardening but it did not prevent me from learning a lot about construction from bamboo and wood (with yet so few tools) !! The work can sometimes be a bit physical but is always pleasant and very varied and the schedule allows you to have a lot of free Time.

I spent nine days at the farm and would have stayed longer if I didn't have a friend to meet! The host: the farm was funny, helpful, informative, and so kind. Deng cooks amazing vegetarian food. You will not be hungry. The experience: morning & evening meditation. 3 meals a day. We did something different every day, which was fun. From gathering bamboo to building with it, helping set the foundation for a community kitchen, cleaning up the farm, painting, I loved it all. The stay: private bungalows with sleeping pads and blankets. I was warm enough.

The farm Phone and Deng are lovely people and were so welcoming, I'm very grateful for having had the chance to spend some time in total immersion in their very simple, healthy and yet fulfilling lifestyle. We got the chance to do something different every day, from chopping some bamboo, to helping out on the village construction site, with some farming and building of a chicken house and compost along the way. The amount of work was pretty low, most afternoons being left open to walk around the surroundings, go to the hot springs or even attend a mountain village's celebration. Highly recomme

I didn't learn much about sustainable agriculture because of the language barrier but the farm family is lovely.

Living at WatcharaFarm was a great experience. the farm and his family are nice hosts. I really like Dangs food, it was always delicious and a lot. The life in the nature is completely different to the life I have at home or while travelling. It was a good experience too to see how to live that minimalistic and be happy. The work we did was not really hard. I most liked working together with the locals.
