Best Places for Nature Volunteering in Thailand

5/6/2018

Comments

 
     This is a guest's post on actual topic of volunteering, not including any places on Koh Phangan. Phangan require particular extended overview-alike article to highlight the demanded subject. Maybe I'll do this one day, if you will convince me that "its needed" - in this case first we'll post it at Kalos Eco, dedicated to that kind of stuff. And pictures will be taken from our exclusive stock of genuine natural no-modified photos from the real masters, which prefer to be there incognito - as my honorable guests you can use it for free too!

     
Volunteering has become especially popular in Thailand. Volunteering is not only a great way to travel inexpensively, but also to fully immerse yourself in Thai culture and enjoy the diverse surroundings.
​      
Thailand is a mecca for all kinds of travelers and has been for decades. Nature lovers are particularly attracted to this Southeast Asian country due to its versatile landscapes. From the mountains in the north to the beaches in the south and everything in between, Thailand offers a little something for everyone. Here are 5 selected places, where volunteering combines work, education & leisure in a proper, organic proportion.

VOLUNTEERING IN THAILAND - best spots

1. Phuket Farmers Club​

First opened in 2016, this organic farm is located in a non-touristy area close to parks and waterfalls. The primary goal of Phuket Farms Club is to consult local businesses on sustainability by providing organic, all-natural vegetables and fruits to its members and by providing informational workshops to locals.
 As a volunteer, you will be expected to help out with gardening and natural building projects for about four hours each day, six days per week. The remainder of the time is yours to explore, relax and enjoy some of Thailand’s most popular beaches. 500 THB ($16 USD) per week covers accommodations, tea, and coffee, but not food. There is a one week minimum for volunteers, but there is an option to pay per night if you cannot stay an entire week.

2. "Warm heart", Phrao town

Located in the town of Phrao in Northern Thailand, the mission behind Warm Heart is to help support the surrounding Hill Tribe and small villages to become economically and socially sustainable.
​      As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to volunteer your skills in many different ways. Warm Heart needs help with teaching, writing, accounting, communications, IT, operations, public health, and community outreach. For roughly 8,000 THB ($250 USD)  per month, you will be provided with housing, hot water, a kitchen, internet, transportation, and help with acquiring proper documentation.
    Phrao Valley is surrounded by mountains, parks, hills, and forests, so you’ll have plenty of places to explore in your free time.
