Thailand

"I truly enjoyed the combination aspect of my experience: I got to interact with Thai people, live in an area, do everyday things in a foreign country but I also got do tourist things, travel around the country, see the amazing sights Thailand has to offer. In this way I feel I got the best of both worlds and really got to experience Thailand. Amazing, rewarding, fascinating, filled with discovery: of a new country and of myself."

Christine Palowitch, Volunteer in Thailand

Why Volunteer in Bangkok?

Boy in Thailand Walking through the city of Bangkok, volunteers in Thailand will experience both the serenity of hundreds of years of Buddhism and the fast-pace of a major urban center. With canals running through the city and a scattering of floating markets, Bangkok embraces every aspect of Thai culture. This location allows for a great diversity in the types of volunteer placements available.

The capital of Thailand, Bangkok is a central point for travelers and Thai nationals alike. With a population of approximately 7.5 million expanding to 10 million with commuters, Bangkok enjoys a constant flow of activity. Visitors exploring the Buddhist temples and statues, the Grand Palace, local flower markets, and river boat rides are all part of this city's daily routine. However, much like other large cities, you can find a variety of urban comforts, including bowling, karaoke, international restaurants and shops, etc. Volunteers in Bangkok can explore all this and more as they immerse themselves in the local culture and really get to experience daily life.
