Teaching English to Children, Thai Boxing, and Meditation.

Staying here was an unforgettable journey. The sense of the school made it feel like a second home. Teaching English to all ages was incredibly fulfilling. Witnessing their growth was inspiring. the school provided lots of opportunities to immerse ourselves in Thai culture, by exploring markets, thai Buddhist events, training muay thai or enjoying sunsets. My time the school was incredibly rewarding, with the temple being in a very small village close to Cambodia, Savon even arranged a border run so we could extend our visa. For anyone looking for a meaningful experience, I highly recommend it !

This was by far the best experience of my trip. The temple is such a special place. I extended my stay whilst I was there because I loved it so much. I loved teaching the kids, it was so much fun, there's loads of materials to help you plan your lessons and other volunteers to bounce ideas off. Savon is the school family mum and she is an amazing woman who will make you feel so comfortable when you arrive. Outside of class we did loads of activities including going to a local Muay Thai fight one evening, going to watch the sunset at a viewpoint and we went to a festival at the temple.

The experience was absolutely positive ♥️ I loved it since the first time I arrived in Phrai Phatthana. People there became my family, we had a lot of fun, very good food, super positive atmosphere. Children and monks were cute and nice!! I'll miss them a lot. I had the opportunity to see the real Muay Thai and to join the meditation, both incredible. Savon is a great mom ♥️ Thank you the school!! Forever grateful!

The time spent at the Wat in rural sisaket Thailand was for a lack of a better word...excellent! Everything from the environment itself (eg peaceful temple ) to the actual volunteering (in this case English classes) to the meditation and muay Thai gym access offered was well done. As a host, Savon is laid-back but also organized in terms of fun activities, delicious meals, and simply being someone who makes you feel welcome. Overall it was an exceptional experience and a chance to experience a lesser visited but interesting part of Thailand. I fully recommend it!

Becoming part of the school family was one of the best experiences of my life. Mama Savon and Channa are amazing, from day one they make you feel at home and the school in general is very kind and caring. The food is delicious, and being able to teach children, monks and teachers was incredible; In my case it gave me the opportunity to practice English and I had a lot of fun. Also, meditating and sharing with the monks and other volunteers, and learning Muay Thai with the locals was wonderful. To tell the truth, I think that what I learned was much more than what I was going to teach. 10/10

I've done so much volunteering and it was here that I had the most contact with the local culture. You will only see Thai people in this rural village, so you will learn about the local culture. And living in the temple is incredible! You will learn about Buddhism, see the monks' days and if you want you can meditate with them in the morning and afternoon. If you like Muay Thai, you can also train with locals near the temple. About the food, it's really delicious! And there are also other volunteers, so there is also someone to hang out with if you want. Love it a lot!

Teaching the school was a life changing experience and one that I will always cherish. Accommodations are comfortable, Mama Savon cooks amazing food, and most importantly the teaching experience is stimulating and rewarding. Living at a temple and being a part of the Phrai Phattana the school makes you appreciate simple things every day. I would recommend this experience to anyone interested in teaching English and learning more about Buddhism and rural life in Thailand. I'll always look back fondly on my experience the school!

Hello CBB,

Thank you for your feedback. We will try our best to improve everything's.
As a Cambodian, and having a school in Thailand is a bit complicated to us. We don't know that it will be so many activities as this. And the school were never have English class in this area before, English just don't exist to the kids here.
When we first come they just prepare an English classes. All of us want this village kids to have English experiences. That's our goal.

We would like to thank you for spending your precious time with us, and maybe come back again to have class for ET.
We promise to do better.

Have a safe travels.

Best wishes,
ET.

Best place to connect with local people! Savon and Channa were the sweetest people and treated everyone as part of their big family from the very beginning. Teaching monks is a one in a life time experience and teaches you so much. I met the best people there and everyday there were a lot of different activities. thank you for everything, I will miss everyone so much. ps. Savon's food is the best one you will try in Thailand
