Description

Thailand continues to be one of the most tempting destinations for those adventurous travellers who are seeking a combination of enchanting natural surroundings, alluring culture, and incredible biodiversity. Breathtaking silvery beaches lapped by warm, crystal clear waters are complemented by friendly locals, mouth-watering local delicacies, and an ancient and fascinating historical heritage rooted in Buddhist origins.

* What Will I Be Doing?

Whilst on your placement you will work with other international and local volunteers to help teach the children subjects like science, ecology and conservation as well as English language. This will give you the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in Thai culture, helping you to make a difference to the future conservation and prosperity of the island whilst at the same time making lasting friendships with your welcoming hosts and the wonderful children.

Teaching is not just about transferring knowledge; it is about building confidence and trust and about forging friendships. Before long, you'll find that your students become like a family to you and you'll enjoy attending local festivals or exploring Thailand's spectacular countryside with them, or simply telling stories.
