Mr Shin and his family welcomed us into their home. The farm has the most incredible views. The family provided the most amazing meals and there was plenty of food. Mr Shin has close connections with the school and we enjoyed every minute that we got to teach there. Mr Shin immersed us in the Hmong culture and we learnt so much. This was truely a wonderful experience that we will never forget. We hope to return again to see the progress of the many projects Shin has dedicated himself to. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough. We wish Shin and his family the very best.

From the very first second, I was welcomed by the whole family. Mr. Shin is a lovely person with a beautiful family. The location of the farm is breathtaking – quiet, remote, and full of soul. The village felt truly special, like it had its own spirit. I learned a lot about the local life and the farm. Since the school was closed, I helped out – painting, harvesting radish, and contributing through photography and social media. As a photographer, it was a rare and meaningful opportunity. I loved my experience – and I can't wait to come back.

I loved my time at the farm! Mr shin and his family are very welcoming as well as the community! I learnt a lot about the Hmong tribe and also had a great time with teaching English at the local school. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a relaxing stay during your travels whilst helping the community. I will be back to visit for sure :)

I stayed on Mr shin's farm during my volunteering role. He welcomed me with open arms and truly felt a part of his family. The accommodation on his farm for the volunteers is clean, cosy and is blessed with one of the best views I have seen in Thailand. Shin also prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for his volunteers, and I was never hungry during my stay. Every meal was tasty and he was always keen to accommodate particular food requests if you weren't particularly keen on a dish. The school I volunteered for was also a beautiful place, with amazing kids who all were lovely characters

Spent a week Mr.Shins farm stay and was one of the best weeks of my life, the most beautiful veiws and amazing hospitality and food from shin and his family got involved in some farming, abit of DIY putting up cabinets and shutters, and went hiking up the mountains, met some other lovely travellers. Definitely recommend it and when I'm back I Thailand I will be returning to see how the farm stay is coming along!! Thanks Shin loved my time there hope all hoe's well in the future 😀
