I had an incredible experience. It is a place in the middle of the jungle between the mountains where you connect with the lodge in an incredible way. Bandito is a very friendly host who cares a lot about your well-being and that you enjoy your stay to the fullest. Thai food is delicious, you will be able to take incredible walks and see very beautiful places as well as meet other travelers. Tasks are not very clear and plans change spontaneously, so it is important that you adapt and help as much as possible. I highly recommend this experience.

I had an amazing time at the spicy villa's! I met a lot of great people (other travelers and many locals), we did incredible things and the location was just something you can only dream about. Sometimes it was a little chaotic, but this keeps you adaptive and flexible. The work was not hard to do and we always had fun doing it. This is a great place to learn basic skills but also learn how local people live in the mountains and also experience it your own.

We recommend 100%! a total disconnection in the middle of the lodge, in an idyllic setting, the work is cool, there is everything you need to live and have fun in your free time. Ho is great and the meals are always delicious and plentiful 🤩 Nostalgic to leave this place

Truly an amazing experience to be in the middle of the lodge in the jungle, learn how people farm and live in the area. The working hours are respected and the experience with the elephants + the activities proposed on the day off are really nice!! To be improved: - The communication is sometimes hard as the person taking care of us had basic English level and could only tell us the plan of the day last minute. Sometimes we didn't know really what had to be done. - In terms of hygiene : providing soap, gloves & clean sponges would be important - Reparing some bungalows for safety

The experience was amazing, the whole team is very welcoming and helpful (Hoh is such a good cook). The place is quite far from the city, immersed in the jungle, so a great opportunity to wind down for a bit. The work wasn't too hard, it might be demanding for someone who isn't used to farming, but other than that other tasks are fairly simple. I unfortunately didn't get to meet the actual host as he was away on a business trip, but by text he seemed very nice and if you da good job he will give you the chance to visit the elephants during weekdays and not only weekends.

This volunteering was a great experience for me. The lodge is a magical place where I felt at home. If you want to make yourself "useful" it is not what comes out of the tasks granted but it allows you to learn a lot about the daily maintenance of a lodge here, while discovering the culture! Hoh welcomed me with great kindness and benevolence, it is an authentic experience, which I will never forget.

It was very good experience to me. Tawan and Hoh took great care of us. I could eat lots of Thai food and even cook them. The place's view is so fantastic. And I could touch and feed elefant too. And there's a Coco, the cutest big white intelligent doggie, who is a very great friend to me. Coco and I took a walk. I was so excited to walk with him. Additionally and luckliy, I stayed with another backpacker girls. Thanks to the girls, I wasn't lonely because of them. Ah, hike and bamboo rafting in raining were so fantastic either. Anyway I'm really missing Coco😂

I had a really great time at the spicy villa. The place is located in the mountains, surrounded by the lodge, so be prepared to bring clothes that can get dirty, because they will. The work is not too hard and some days there's more to do than on others. Tawan cooks the best food and you can learn a lot from him about cooking. My highlight was the hike on Sunday and the elephants (which you visit once and pay extra for, clearly communicated before). I was lucky to stay there with 2 other girls, together we loved playing card games in the evening. Thank you for everything!
