Program Overview

Thailand is an earthly paradise full of incredible contrasts, untouched beauty, and adrenaline-charged adventure. This program is designed with 11th and 12th graders in mind.

Begin your trip with an enriching service project to improve a local school at a hill tribe in Northern Thailand. During your service work you will have the opportunity to interact with the school children and form meaningful connections with the people in the community. When our project is finished, you will feel a sense of accomplishment knowing your hard work helped make a difference in the lives of the children you grew to know and love!

You will embrace Thai culture as you meet saffron-cloaked Buddhist monks, bathe elephants surrounded by jungle, gaze in wonder at golden Buddhas and temples adorned with mother-of-pearl inlay, try local delicacies and learn how to cook your own mouth-watering cuisine, all while enjoying the warm hospitality and gentle smiles of the Thai people.

Please note, we do not ride elephants on any of our programs. TFT is proud to be one of the only teen tour operators to take this stance and support ethical tourism.
