"One of the best and purest experiences I have ever had, without a doubt. From the first moment to the last, the farm makes you a part of his philosophy of life, integrates you into his family, and allows you to live unique moments that you will never forget. I recommend to anyone seeking to be part of a simple, happy, and authentic lifestyle to spend a few weeks on the farm and enjoy it as much as we did. Thank you, the farm! We will never forget you! Julia and John."

This experience was amazing! the farm is such a kind person. The farm is beautiful, though the facilities are quite primitive. If you don't have problems with that this place is perfect for you. Waking up with the view of a beautiful farm in the morning was such a rewarding experience!

Me and my boyfriend enjoyed being a part of Papasao's farm, we learnt so many thing as thai and karen food, how to create things from a bamboo, how to create Karen bag… Papasao and Mamasao are so kind and worried about your comfort, your feelings, you always feel like you're at your home. Papasao is very fun and will play guitar songs at night or cook you an amazing dinner. We didn't want to leave this beautiful place where we were free to fish, eat, cook, create bamboo pipes, sleep… I absolutely recommend this place and will for sure come back !

I spent 10 days at the Papasao farm, and it was a great experience! Papasao is eager to share his culture and is happy to explain everything to us. His farm is a haven of peace, perfect for reconnecting. I'd definitely recommend it if you're ready to step out of your comfort zone 🙂

Most amazing experience of my life. PapaSao is so welcoming and creates such a good atmosphere for everyone. I planned to stay for 5 days but ended up staying for 2 weeks. I'll definitely come back just like a few people I met there :) PapaSao is an amazing chef and uses organic food from the farm and around the village. Especially the trips to the jungle were amazing. And don't forget to ask him to take you to the hot springs! I cannot recommend it enough for everyone. You'll meet so many great people and PapaSao is just the best.
