Dao Home
If you’re looking to unplug, reconnect, and be surrounded by good people, animals, and nature, this just might be the place for you.
We’re a peaceful spot tucked in a rural area with stunning mountain views, star-filled skies, and the sounds of five friendly dogs, three chill cats, and three wise turtles going about their day. It’s quiet here, a perfect place to slow down, focus on wellness, and get inspired.
Volunteers usually stay 1–2 weeks and help out with light daily tasks: a bit of gardening, cleaning, helping prepare and cook meals, and finishing up a few creative projects that are nearly complete. There’s also space to do arts and crafts if that’s something you enjoy. Work hours flow with the weather, usually mornings and after sunset to avoid the heat.
We offer shared bedrooms with a few beds and also have tents available if you’re into a more outdoorsy vibe. All meals are fresh and home cooked by Nay, our local Thai chef and yes, they’re incredibly delicious.
And for the coffee lovers: we roast our own coffee daily, straight from the local coffee farm. It doesn’t get fresher than that.
In your free time, you can work out in our little gym, take an ice bath, hang by the fire pit, or join us for movie nights under the stars. You’ll also have the chance to learn from the locals and immerse yourself in the rhythms of mountain life.
It’s simple, intentional living with good food, good views, and good company. We’d love to have you!
Our little community is made up of Nay, Mark, Tommy, and a few furry (and shelled) friends. Each of us brings our own unique skills, backgrounds, and energy to the space and together, it creates something special. We come from different cultures, so there’s always something new to learn or share, whether it’s in the garden, the kitchen, or around the fire pit.
Here, volunteers are treated like family. We live simply and intentionally, and we value kindness, respect, and open mindedness. You’ll be part of a shared space where we cook and eat meals together, swap stories, play cards, watch movies under the stars, and just enjoy each other’s company. It’s a very relaxed and welcoming environment, perfect for slowing down, recharging, and reconnecting with yourself and the people around you.
We love new ideas and are always open to creative input. This is a place where you’re not just helping, you’re contributing to something that’s growing and evolving together.
