Volunteer in Thailand

Explore the gorgeous sites and natural beauty of Thailand while supporting local communities

Volunteer in Thailand with Projects Abroad and experience the beauty of this country and its people, while being part of our ongoing efforts to support local communities.


You can teach English at disadvantaged local schools, or support early childhood development at daycare centres or kindergartens. If you’re passionate about protecting marine environments and coral reefs, join our Conservation Project. You’ll work to protect marine ecosystems while enjoying the beauty of your surroundings.


All of our projects are based in Ao Nang, a resort town near Krabi. Throughout your stay, Projects Abroad staff will be available 24/7. They’ll be there to offer you guidance, make sure that you’re safe and help you have an incredible time in Thailand.


During your free time, experience all that life in Thailand has to offer. Relax on a picture-perfect beach, visit grand temples, and go island hopping. You can also eat your way through dozens of spring rolls and pad thais!
