My experience at Gaarawé was truly unique. Even though I was the only volunteer during my two-week stay, I learned so much about sustainability and permaculture. Lele is very knowledgeable and always willing to share his wisdom and life experience. The work at the villa is relaxed and enjoyable, and there's plenty of freedom to explore the area in your free time (you can rent motorbikes at the guesthouse next door). It was a beautiful and enriching experience in a magical place—perfect for learning and disconnecting from the routine and chaos of the city. I totally recommend it!

The eco village was amazing! Lele is great, he can teach you about permaculture and how to live more sustainable. The work was really nice and chill. I mainly helped with the cob house and gardening, which was a lot of fun! The village is in the jungle, which i thought was really cool! You're truly in nature. This means that there is not much close by, but you can ask Lele about activities, rent a scooter next door, or hitch hike. The thai family was also so nice!! The food is amazing and they will help you with anything. I miss it already! Thanks Lele for everything!! 🫶🏼

We just did a 3 days stay in which we had the opportunity to meet some volunteers and Lele who was very welcoming. He has very strong sustainable ideas and his philosophy is very contagious. We just had time to see the project which is beautiful. Is also amazing to rent a motorbike to visit Khao Sok and the surroundings

I'm very grateful for my time at Garawee Village and for all the experiences I was able to have there. Even though I left earlier than planned, I would still recommend it to anyone who wants to discover a new lifestyle and is open to new things. Lele is an incredibly kind person, and you can really tell how much he loves his project – it's wonderful to see! So if you're okay with being around all kinds of animals, go for it – you won't regret it! Thank you for the time.

I liked my time there) Absolutely unique experience. Perfect place if you want to feel how life in a jungle looks like (first two - tree days are very unusual, you need to take a bit time to get use to life with huge amount of different creatures around you, but after you start to enjoy more). Good time to take rest, enjoy home made Thai food, learn a bit about eco life style. Be ready this place will put you out of your comfort zone, make you think and act outside of the box. If you feel that nature is calling you, recommend you to try! it is gonna worth it.
