Your volunteer travel to Thailand also offers plenty of free time, so you experience all that life in Thailand has to offer. Relax on a picture-perfect beach, visit temples, go island hopping, and have a taste of authentic pad Thai!

The most important part of my time in Thailand for me though was the connections and friendships I made with the volunteers that came from all around the world and the locals in Thailand.

Map & Location

Famous for the modern marvels of Bangkok, ancient ruins like Ayutthaya, and deliciously spicy cuisine, Thailand is a safe and captivating destination. It is a country of parallels, home to both the largest solid gold Buddha and smallest mammal in the world.

Though most of our projects operate from the paradise island of Koh Tao, Thailand is full of wonder just waiting to be discovered. Glittering temples, lush jungles, and some of the best dive spots in the world — what’s not to love?

Koh Tao

Koh Tao, a small paradise island in the Gulf of Thailand, is a haven for thrill-seekers and beach lovers alike. With stunning natural beauty, a tropical climate, and sunshine year round, it’s a dream destination for any traveller. Though home to just over 2,000 people, the island has all essential amenities.

Most famous for its colourful and expansive coral reefs, making it ideal for diving and snorkelling, the island also has hidden coves, scenic hikes, and and unmatched island lifestyle.

Your Arrival Made Easy
