We just dropped in here and ended up staying for quite a while, chatting to everyone and even being treated to an impromptu dancing display! Everybody was lovely, and it's clear that the project makes a huge difference to many lives. The products for sale are also really high quality, we bought a very cool T-shirt and scarf. All in...

Our family spent a lovely hour visiting the Healing Family Foundation. The artists really enjoy visitors and their work is amazing. I bought a t shirt and drink coasters which have been commented on positively since I came home. I would highly recommend visiting if you are in Chiang Mai.

Me and my friend found the Healing Family Foundation by coincidence while cycling around Chiang Mai. It's easy to find it and it is really worth paying a visit. We could see the artists at work and we were lucky to see one of them just completing his scarf. One of their members was so great and he danced for... More

We got lost the first time we set out to find this place but it was worth the effort of trying again. We were greated with warmth and smiles, a welcome glass of water and an interesting account of the history of the centre. In a country that has no sickness or disability benefits, this centre was foundered by a... More

One of the kindest and most compassionate places I visited while in Chiang Mai. Was greeted like an old friend, and spent the afternoon making Krathong with the students, staff, and visitors there.

It is well worth a visit and you will be warmly welcomed. If you have free time and the inclination you may be able to help with your time and offer... More

We stumbled upon Baan Sanook whilst on a walk on our first day in Chiang Mai, and we were so pleased that we did. The weavers produce some wonderful items and all are unique. We wanted to buy everything that they had on offer; such was the quality and beauty of the garments and all the other woven items. We... More

I came and visited Baan Sanook many times while I was in Chiang Mai. They have BEAUTIFUL weaving and other hand made gifts for sale (bags, t-shirts, placemats, and small gift cards). The quality is much better than in the scarves you will find in the weekend markets. Each piece is unique! The members welcome visitors and give you a... More

Everyone was so welcoming and of course... More
