Enlarged version
Get to know Thailand in a different way!

On this programme, there are so many different experiences. You will have the chance to bathe in waterfalls, learn how to meditate and stay in a Buddhist temple, relax on stunning beaches, trek jungles or teach English in schools.

Thailand Experience highlights include:

  • Two nights in Bangkok
  • Orientation including a Thai language & cooking lesson
  • Live with monks for one night at their temple
  • Teach children English or go trekking with a local guide
  • A six-night stay on the beautiful Island of Koh Samet

You can tailor the experience too. In week 3 there is an option to either volunteer on a community project or take a week trekking in the jungle & rainforest of the Phutoei National Park. You can also tag on extra weeks to your Thailand experience by choosing from a range of extra volunteer options (teaching English, caring for children in an orphanage, or helping hill tribe communities). See itinerary for full details of what you can do.

Project Location
The base camp is located 142km North of Bangkok in Sing Buri province.  The area you will be staying in is rural and has not been affected by tourism. This camp is situated about 10km from the town of Singburi and takes about 15 minutes from the eco-houses you will be staying in.

Accommodation and Meals

Accommodation varies from hotel accommodation in Bangkok, then onto one of our three ‘Eco Houses’ in Singburi in central Thailand and on your beach week accommodation is twin share rooms and is always in resorts close to the beach. Accommodation can also vary depending on which volunteer option you choose. Meals are included throughout the programme.
