My time with Pim was incredible. It was different than the other backpackers, as I know she is working on her project right now. We had to relocate closer into Bangkok because one of the other monks were sick and she wanted to cover for him. Regardless, she still did everything to make sure I had a great experience and learn about dhamma. She always made sure I had a full belly and was such an amazing person to be around. If you want the true Thailand experience, stay with her. It is also very evident that she cares about the community, so you know you are supporting an overall good human.

Pim was so warm and welcoming. Nothing but the eco village smiles:) She is at the beginning of building her project so she is very busy. Though, she still made it a priority to take me to multiple local temples and teach me about Buddhism and Thai culture. I enjoyed meeting and working Luang Pii, and the local construction worker, too. She kept me well fed and made sure I didn't over work in the heat. I will cherish our time together forever.

I'm very grateful for my experience with Pim, learning about Dhamma and life as a monk! She was extremely welcoming and always made sure my belly was full and provided a comfy place to stay and sleep. I learned so much about Buddhism and practices i can apply to my everyday life to become more content and reduce my anxiety. Pim also works on a variety of social projects, and is constantly giving to others, so you know you're supporting someone who is bringing a lot of goodness into this world :)

Me and my friend spent a week with Pim, and it was a wonderful experience! We traveled a lot and gained so much knowledge from her, her teacher, her family, and the monks we met. I'm truly grateful for everything! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to get to know you and spend time with you. I wish you only good people on your path and many more trips and adventures ahead!
