If you want a place to get out of the touristy areas and experience real Thai culture, this is the place. I had a wonderful week with Mit and her family/team. The people are warm and welcoming, the environment is beautiful, and the animals are lovely. You'll engage in farm work around the property like a local and have the best food you've ever eaten. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to go somewhere quiet, and engage in local culture. Thank you for everything!

I had such a lovely two weeks at the farm stay, Mit and her household made me feel so welcome and part of her family, and the teachers at the school were incredibly kind and caring too. My room was really cosy and private, and everyone was really accommodating of my dietary requirements. It was really nice to spend my free time in nature and playing with the animals! I would definitely recommend this experience and hope to come back again!

I couldn't be more grateful to everyone.I was welcomed by Miss Mit and Mister Nit. 600 characters are to less to show how grateful I am to everyone.It was a complete immersion the farm culture and life of a farmer.Eating the best Thai food I have ever tasted, cooked by the hardworking Pah.The warm service of Mister Puh, the laughter with Noi and his mother, the affection of all the dogs. And above all, feeling like a son under the care of Mit, attentive to everything, willing to do whatever it takes for you and the family, with a big, smiling, patient and giant hart. Kophum ร  Khap!

It was truly the most magical week and, by far, the greatest experience I have had on worldpackers to date. Mit and her family/team are the most kind, generous, warm people, and they will welcome you with open arms and make their home your home. The actual surroundings were absolutely enchanting, the dogs were adorable, the buffalos were beautiful and the lifestyle was very wholesome. Mit and Kook have great English, so they can answer any queries you may have, but feel free to msg me too! I'd love any excuse to rave about this place. It is very special. I will definitely be back one day! :)))
