I am sure there are jobs that Workaway guests will be able to help us with around the garden as we are clearing the land next to us. . We are always trying to make things better for our guests and we enjoy having people from around the world stay.
Presently we need a couple of strong volunteers for a week to help around the land.

José Was the perfect Workaway.
Always friendly and with a smile. Worked hard at everything he did. He was with us for 2 weeks and the time flew bye.
If you have the opportunity to host him do so before someone else does.

Greg and Rhiannon (aka Graham) were the perfect workdays.
Great work and a pleasure to be around.
As they embark on their round the world adventure we were fortunate to have them stay for a week and wish it could have been longer.
Book them if you get the chance.

Gail and Randy were with us for 2 weeks and became close friends. They worked so hard and so conscientiously. We hope they will join us again. If you have an opportunity to host them you should do so as quickly as possible. Difficult to find a couple so good.

We spent just over two weeks with Alastair and Nok, and didn't want to leave. What began as a workaway turned into a friendship, one built upon shared experiences, laughter and, perhaps, the age factor as we are all of a similar age.

The work we did was, at times, physically difficult but always rewarding. We cleaned and cleared a new piece of… read more

Pedro was with us a short time helping with the garden lights. Shame he didn't stay longer as he was helpful and hard working.

I stayed with Alistair and Nok just for a couple days last month helping with the garden lighting, and it was a great experience. They are a very nice couple running a beautiful guest house on a quiet place in the outskirts of Chiang Mai. I was treated really well, with great food cooked by Nok! I highly recommend them as hosts!

Al and Nok were really a great host, making me feel very welcome.
The homestay was nice and i got a private comfortable room. There was too much work to do but it was enjoyable for the reason that we were a groupe of four volunteers. My main tasks were painting, cleaning and gardening.
At the evening we had a family dinner and we had too much… read more

We spent 1 week with Al and Nok, and it was an amazing experience! The work was interesting and rewarding, and when we weren't working we spent most of our time relaxing around the beautiful resort and spending time with our great hosts. The room we stayed in was comfortable, the food was great, and the company was even better. Wish we could've… read more

Martin is a friendly and polite workaway. We taught him how to paint lol and gave him an area to do and we left him to get on with it. He did a good job.
Hope he enjoyed his first experience with workaway and wish him well on his travels.

Simply the best.
It is going to be very hard to find at least similar place to Al`s and Nok`s home. And it is not beacuse they provided us with the best accomodation on our long term journey and the most tasty meals we ever tried in Thailand.

It is beacuse of the atmosphere they have created. We felt like a part of their family. We ate… read more

Michael and Caroline where of tromendous help. They stayed longer than we first asked for and we are sorry to see them leave. Interesting and friendly and very hard working so it will be difficult to find a family as dedicated as them. If they ask to stay with you then accept their help before someone else does.

Al and Nok were amazing hosts with everything they did. It is clear they work hard to run their lovely homestead so it is great to be there and give them a hand with any chores they need doing, as they both deserve a bit of a break after the amount of work they do. The activities themselves varied day to day, apart from a couple of key tasks which… read more
