I stayed with Fai and her family for 3 weeks. I enjoyed every day I spent there. I made friends with people working there. I was teaching English via Skype which was quite interesting because it was mostly about communication and I get to know a lot from my Thai students. All family and staff are very welcoming. We had cooking classes during this… read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 1 week at the beginning of May. We were excited to stay with a Thai family and teach English at our first Workaway. However what we experienced wasn't what was described on the advertisement.
We stayed in a volunteers accommodation at the end of the garden, quite basic but we didn't expect much more. It was very… read more

Left by Workawayer (Natalie) for host

I echo what a previous review has said in terms of how the description is misleading. I was expecting more of cultural exchange and being part of a community. I was informed before I arrived that the lessons would be over Skype but I thought I would give it a go anyway. There were also no lessons for yoga and meditation which was one of the main… read more

First thing first, the tittle of the volunteering offer is not so accurate : volunteers don't stay with a thai family. There is a place in the back of the yard dedicated to the volunteers.
Second thing, a lot of improvements were made during our stay which we explain later in the review.

Had a really lovely time staying with Ravisa and her family at their homestay/guesthouse! I taught online during my time there along with 10 other volunteers. Had lots of fun with the other volunteers when we weren't teaching - was so lucky to have an awesome group of people! The workload is very manageable and the students are all very sweet.… read more

Thank you very much, I had a great time at the Homestay! All the Workawayer live together in two nice dorms and we had our own space to hang out together in our free time. The English teaching classes were a lot of fun and I learned a lot about the Thai culture. But the best thing was definitely the great food!
So if your looking for a chilled… read more

Fai & her family’s homestay was the perfect place for a first workaway. I arrived on a Sunday, and was welcomed with the widest smile and an invitation to join the free cooking lesson Fai offers for the volunteers. The family runs a Thai restaurant/café, and the food we received was so delicious I’d have been happy to pay for it!

In the two… read more

An all round very good experince for my first Workaway. A friendly family with a lovely home away from the busy city and with a nice garden to relax in. With plenty of freedom and personal time allowed to be able to explore the surrounding area and villages, this is a great place to stay if you have your own projects to work on, plenty of time for… read more

I often say this was the best workaway experience I've had because it brought together all things I was looking for: learning about the local experience, an environment that allowed me to be independent and also have time to work on my projects, reading, make some yoga and meditation. Besides all, having great friends, a family.
The food was so… read more

Big thanks to Ravisa and her family, especially her mom for her cooking skills! Super friendly family and relaxed atmosphere the whole time. We learned to make sticky rice with mango and papaya salad, skills I hopefully never forget. I had a lot of free time during my stay which I spent mostly with the other volunteers. I bet you're going to meet… read more

Ravisa lives in a beautiful piece of land just outside of Chiang Mai.
I didn’t get to interact with her or her family very much, but the times we met they were very friendly and respectful.
The lessons took place during the evening and were mostly focused on conversations.
The rest of the day was free time to hang out with other volunteers (it… read more

It's been a week now since we left this lovely family and we're still thinking about our great time there. The work was fun and left enough room for relaxing, enjoying the beautiful garden and get to know the other workawayers (thanks guys, you were awesome!).

This was by far the best experience I've ever had at workaway, actually there is not enough stars to rate them. There was a private place for workawayers, so we could enjoy our free time chilling which was a lot, the work was very light so it made me feel that I hadn't done enough to pay it back. The food was plenty (maybe too much) and authentic.… read more

First of all: Fai and Cake are very lovely women. Fai‘s mum and her helper do not really understand you but they cook the best meals in Thailand for you - amazing food. The Baby is lovely and you just want to cuddle her. Altough I have to say, you don’t really stay with a Thai Family as it is mentioned: I slept with other workawayers in a Dorm (in… read more

I stayed for 1 week with family. Their place is absolutely beautiful, I enjoyed relaxing in their peaceful garden, the food they provided was the best food in Thailand I had ever tasted. They are friendly and helpful. I had a good company and a lot of freetime during my stay. Thank you for everything! :)
