Best Places to Volunteer in Thailand

Thailand is a country of great diversity, offering more than one unique environment for volunteering; whether you’re suiting up in a wetsuit to prepare yourself for a marine conservation project, slipping on your boots before trudging off into a rainforest project or walking the streets of Bangkok to assist with social welfare services, you will find that the location of your volunteer abroad project will greatly contribute to defining your experience.

Here are the lists of Thailand’s top volunteer abroad destinations.

Bangkok: Thailand’s capital city is a combination of modern shopping malls, ancient temples and age-old traditions, making it a highly diverse location for any volunteer abroad program. Nevertheless, despite its beauty and charm, Bangkok has continued to gain a reputation of being a city of vice, presenting such challenging issues as a rise in prostitution, human trafficking and animal cruelty. As a result, Bangkok is a great venue for volunteers looking to contribute to long-term sustainable plans to address social welfare and animal rights issues at the heart of Thailand whilst, at the same time, being in a logistical location that allows them to easily discover other parts of the country.

Phuket: It is one of the major tourist hot spots in Thailand boasting some of the country’s most breathtaking beaches and resorts. It is the location for foreign students in Thailand making it an ideal location for someone wishing to combine a volunteer abroad program and a study abroad program.

Chiang Mai: The city of Chiang Mai is the largest and most culturally significant city in northern Thailand and is best known for its ancient Buddhist temples and its extensive Elephant Nature Park. Chiang Mai is a great location for anyone looking to do further travel in the region as it sits in a logistical position between the Myanmar and Laos borders. Well known for its wildlife projects, Chiang Mai also offers several Teach English and child welfare projects.
