    Description

    We are excited to announce that we are recruiting several Workaway volunteers for the 2026/2027 season, starting on November 1st, 2026, running until the end of April ’27.

    As a Workaway, you'll be working alongside us (Jon and Leah) and our amazing Thai staff to help our Hostel run smoothly on a day-to-day basis. We’re looking for confident and approachable individuals who enjoy interacting with guests and helping them have a great time on our beautiful island.

    The minimum stay is one month. The work schedule is approximately 5 hours per day, 5 days a week.

    In exchange for your help, we offer:

    • Free accommodation in a separate A/C dorm for workaways
    • Access to cooking facilities
    • Discounted drinks at the bar
    • Use of a shared scooter to get around the island
    • 3 Meals a day provided

    Ideally, you’ll have previous experience working in a hostel or have spent a good amount of time staying in hostels and understand the level of service that backpackers expect.

    If you meet these criteria and are excited about joining our team, we’d love to hear from you! However, if you don't meet these requirements, please refrain from contacting us, as we receive many inquiries and want to ensure we can respond promptly to those who are a good fit.

    Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you to our team!
