Mill is such a kind guy. He was always caring about us and the tasks were never to difficult or exhausting. Also his food⦠absolutely delicious !!! He showed us a lot of local food and the culture. Because of his good english skills he answered all of our questions. Also the animals are safed from the slaughter and live happily. All in all I would definitely recommend to stay at his the shelter.

This experience was wonderful, I recommend it to everyone who wants to connect with local people and nature. Mill is an amazing person, he stayed by our side the whole time during our work, besides work, we had good conversations and laughs during our time together. Your partner is extremely helpful, assisting us with all the tasks and showing us how to do those activities. Our stay was excellent, they treated us with great care and respect, and we learned a lot from them. Note: Mill is an excellent chef, I loved him β¨

Mill is a cheerful and caring host who goes above and beyond to help, even beyond farm tasks. He made sure we experienced authentic Thai culture working in rice fields, sharing meals with locals, and meditating with a monk. Communication was easy thanks to his great English. Songkran, who takes care of the animals, is hardworking and always in a good mood. Despite the language barrier, he made a real effort to connect. The animals are well cared for. I was happy to see how they care rescuing them from slaughter and giving them a peaceful, longer life. These 10 days were truly a pleasure
