You can learn to scuba dive, go rock climbing, and explore nearby beaches and islands. There are also various restaurants where you can sample traditional Thai food, and plenty of fresh, juicy fruit is available at local markets.

Whether you volunteer in Thailand for a week or two months, our staff will help you to get the most out of your volunteer travel experience. They're locally-based experts on Thailand as a travel destination. They'll be more than happy to help you see the places that excite you.
