We have had an absolutely wonderful week staying here at Joy's House. By far the pinnacle of our trip. Amanda made a bunch of new friends from around the world and had such a fun time playing with them and the 5 newly adopted kittens that live here. The staff here has been so welcoming and really made us feel like part of the family.
Thanks to Neab and Ruta for being our shopping guides and leading the cooking class, especially fun was making our own curry from scratch. We will miss the after dinner jam sessions with Pee Bee, Pee Akka, and the rest of the boy band crew, Pee Jack for driving us all over the place, Pee Dao and Pee Pah for entertaining and taking good care of Amanda. Pee Do the bartender for keeping the cold Singhas flowing, and the many others who made our stay here pleasant. And of course, Joy and Ulli, who make it all possible.

Being here over Christmas and being included in their celebrations was a uniquely special experience. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to all the new friends we have made here, but we must move on to the final phase of our trip: back to Bangkok for a few days before flying home on New Year's Eve. Going back to the big busy city after spending a week in the tranquility and relaxing atmosphere at Joy's House is going to be a bit of a shock but this is the way we planned it.
We would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting Chiang Mai to stay at Joy's House for a unique and fulfilling experience. They are amazing people and the work they are doing with the children is great.
