The Experience
This is a place to ease your mind, be creative, take a break. You can help us by teaching English to local kids - our neighbor and in the local school two times a week - and to my mother so that she can be more comfortable talking to guests. Also help us keep the common area clean in the morning, water plants and the garden, assist me in my wood workshop or whatever is due on that day.

I totally recommend the eco village and I would definitely come back. Nao makes sure you feel at home, part of the family and included in all activities. Her mom's food is delicious, and her father always have some fruit for us :) The students are lovely, the environment is peaceful and I loved my accommodation. We have motorbike at our disposal, a swimming pool close to the school and a lot of good opportunities to help. We have daily meetings in the morning, where we can hear about her expectations for the day and learn how we can help. it was my first volunteer and I loved the experience!

Caroline brought such uniqe input about Monterssari Educaiton into out lesson plan of English Village Class. Setting up space and safe and ready environment to learn. Her motivation to share having so much fun. She opened to learn as well as given anything she can. So much fun and great to have her around. She also cares about small details on kids and insight. Have a great fun time memory with her.

I spent a great week at Nao and her family's house. They are very good people, helpful and super kind. Her mom cooked us exquisite Thai food all week. Nao was always willing to help us with our tasks, and she also took us to visit several local markets and attractive places. In my case, I was working in the carpentry building a furniture that we then placed in one of the rooms. My work was calm and without pressures. I really had a great week there, I made new friends and had a lot of fun. I highly recommend that you do this volunteering

We had a very nice week! We just went the last week of school for the children so we tried to make sure everyone had fun, the work wasn't hard at all, although we organized, cleaned, taught English, cooked, played and Fran built a furniture, we felt like we were having a good time with friends 🥰 We loved sharing with your family and friends Nao! We are happy we did it! thank you very much for everything 😊

She is so much fun, loving and sensitive in little detail. Her energic and positive engery lived up the group and kids. She also having lots of fresh and good insight. She very open to learn and social with others around. Such a short time to meet and share with her. Love the energy of her and her partner volunteer and support each other as well.

It has been a pleasure to be part of the eco village. First of all thank to you Nao, i considered you are such a professional person, very ambitious and your ideas to carry with the project are very clear, making it even more productive. I've been helping with the web page, but the main objective of the farm is to receive and teach English to children. From the beginning I have felt integrated into the project, i had a great time hanging out in the village with the other volunteers and some new local friends. I truly recommend to be part of filmfarmschool for a long time!! See u soon Nao!

It has been a pleasure to has Ivan appearing at Filmsfarmschool. His childlike and giggle on everything lived up the place and others around. You were willing to try out and be part in any projects in community. Loving to see you cooking from Yaya recipe and even called to wake her up to help from Spain. You were like our little brother in family and community. The golden fish will miss you and wait for you to change the water for them. Come back for the Smart city project in Lamhun. I think you actually come to be here for this reason.

What an amazing experience. This was my first ever time volunteering and immediately I was welcomed into the family. I came to help Nao grow her YouTube channel but was also given the opportunity to teach English to the Thai students and help with some DIY work as well! We often to trips to the nearby markets (which are very cheap), the workday is pretty chilled and its a great opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture. I loved my time here and would recommend it to any other traveller :) Special thankyou to Nao, you really went over and above. I'll be following the YouTube journey!
