"My experience overall was mind opening, to say the least. I couldn't believe how different, yet completely the same people came across in Thailand. It was a wonderful experience that I definitely would do again in a heartbeat."

Annica Shumny, Volunteer in Thailand

Why Volunteer in Trang?

Buddhist Statues Trang, the 'Town of the Dawn', is a peaceful and tranquil province located on the West coast of Thailand. One of the six districts of the province served as one of the main seaports of Southern Thailand. Legend has it that ships from other countries always landed at the Kantang port at dawn, explaining how Trang got its name.

The province has remained undisturbed by large-scale development—the west coast is covered with mangrove forests, white sandy beaches, and islands, and the other side of Trang is surrounded by mountains with rich forests and waterfalls. The warm climate and easy access to islands offers plenty of opportunities for volunteers to explore the beautiful natural surroundings.

Volunteers can enjoy a welcoming community that is not exposed to many tourists or English-speaking visitors. The population of Trang, at 600,000 in Coastal Trang and 200,000 in Trang town, also includes a large ethnically Chinese and Muslim population. Volunteer placements in Trang are very often based at one of the Trang municipality's outstanding development initiatives.
