Program Details

Dao Homestay is calling creative souls and nature lovers! Located in the peaceful Chiang Dao countryside, we are combining nature with wellness at our farm. We’re seeking enthusiastic volunteers to help build and beautify this unique space. We always embrace new ideas and like to improvise.

Landscaping & Construction: Collaborate on projects like unique builds that mix modernity with traditional elements. Throughout our projects, we reclaim materials from old sources and other natural materials. You will then learn how to use these materials alongside our local teams.

Farming: You will work alongside a seasoned farmer to build an eco farm from scratch. Our gardens feature a variety of herbs, vegetables, and fruits to support our farm-to-table vision. You will learn local Lanna farming techniques that Northern Thailand farmers have been using for years.

Art & Design: Infuse creativity into every corner of Dao Homestay by decorating and designing spaces like our café, tiny homes, and communal areas. Create murals, posters, and other natural DIY pieces!

When you’re not working, take part in wellness activities like gym, yoga, and ice baths. Our evenings are filled with fun events like karaoke, game nights, and cooking classes.

Join us to co-create a space that celebrates connection, sustainability, and creativity.
