I loved my month stay here! nice to have staff dorms and loved the vibes here. Def a high energy environment but very fun way to see the city and connect with other travelers. Lots of socializing and you get a good amount of down time to enjoy activities. They also have local staff that are very kind and fun to hang out with as well.

Perfect workaway if you love to socialize, meet people and lead everybody to the party pubs in Chiang Mai. They don't ask you to do lot of hard work, but be a reference for the hosts, help people and make them feel comfortable.
