Volunteer in Thailand

Anyone looking to volunteer in Thailand will experience vibrant and intense culture in a picturesque setting. Projects Abroad Pro’s specialist voluntary projects are available for anyone interested in volunteering in the developing world, including professionals on a career break, recent graduates or retired seniors.

Thailand lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, bordered by Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Malaysia. A fascinating and extremely spiritual land, the Thais are proud that they remain one of the only countries in Asia never to have been colonised by the West. This has resulted in Buddhist philosophy and traditional languages playing a major role in everyday life throughout the country, with families often sending young sons to be educated by local monks. While Thailand’s political and economic stability is the envy of the region, there are still areas of the country left in poverty. In addition to this, an influx of tourism has brought with it rising levels of pollution which threatens the peaceful serenity of their beaches and corals. Skilled volunteers looking for jobs abroad will find ample opportunity to share their knowledge and training with Thai businesses, educators and conservationists. Through the passing on of skills and techniques you will be able to help some of the poorest and most endangered regions of this remarkable country. After your work is complete you can explore Thailand’s sandy beaches, limestone cliffs and golden temples, as well as trekking with elephants and tasting the spicy local cuisine.
