Mr Shin and his family are so kind and welcoming and the farm is one of the beautiful places I have ever seen! I really enjoyed doing the tasks Mr Shin gave me and we even usually did them together, listened to music and got to know each other. I am so grateful I got to the opportunity to stay here!

Shin's farm is located high up in the mountains, about a two-hour drive from Chiang Mai. It's an incredibly beautiful place. However, the mountain roads are winding and rough, so the best way to get there is by riding a motorbike Shin, his family, and the people in the village are all very kind and welcoming. The school teachers were very supportive and helpful. The children are absolutely lovely and quick learners. We played games, danced, and painted together — it was a wonderful experience. I felt immersed in the local culture and lived like a local.

Staying at the farm was a warm and life changing experience. I lived close to nature, planting, cooking, painting, and doing simple, meaningful tasks. The host family is incredibly kind and treats you like one of their own. The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for anyone seeking to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. This place reminded me that humans are part of nature, not separate from it. No luxury, just genuine care and heartfelt simplicity, perfect for those who value small, beautiful moments.
