I spent a wonderful month in this peaceful place in the middle of nature. It was a good opportunity to get to know the real Thai culture and local Thai cuisine. While working as a gardener I learned new things and more about the diverse nature of the southern country. I met a lot of wonderful people and new friends in this place.

Amazing experience! I stayed 2 weeks in the community and I can say that the staff are super friendly and easy going. The food is INCREDIBLE. I'm going to miss this place a lot, since it gave me a lot of peace and many laughs! The resort and the foundation work very well together, and I hope they keep growing because I can see the amount of effort they put into everything. Every day there is different people coming and going, so you get to meet a lot of travelers from different places :) Would definitely recommend this place to volunteer, the owners are great. Hope to see you again, Francisco

My volunteer work transcended simply giving Yoga class to guests and children with special needs made me fall in love and heartily support this project. In addition taught me how good volunteer management can bring more visibility to the foundation and respect for nature and for the whole community.

Coming to the community I was excited to help bring the concept of sustainable experiences to life through digital design. I ended up staying in the dormitory to stay engaged with visitors throughout my stay, but If it is important to you to have your own space/ private room as listed voice it & host will accommodate. Ingrid works very well creatively with others & it was nice to get to collaborate on the content. If you're interested in attending events let her know to work into your schedule as things can get busy. The food was beyond amazing & the staff was what kept me feeling at home!
