Popular causes/program types in Hua Hin. As Hua Hin lies along the Gulf of Thailand, environmental conservation programs are prevalent, where you would be planting trees, constructing coral reef blocks, and raising awareness. Elephant foundations and animal rescue centers also need assistance from volunteers to help provide these animals with better lives. Working with children through language programs or art programs are also popular programs.

Summer/short term volunteer programs in Hua Hin. Only got a few weeks to spare over holiday breaks or in the summer? Hua Hin offers a plethora of short-term programs for several different types of causes, but the longer you stay, the more impact you’ll have. The weather in Hua Hin is tropical throughout the entire year, which is a great way to escape frigid winters and enjoy the Hua Hin beaches, but keep in mind that more people visit Hua Hin over the holidays, so a perfect time of year to go here doesn't exist.

The trip was the most fulfilling, enriching and inspiring experience I have ever embarked upon 😊 It is my second time volunteering with IVI and each time I embark on a new teaching journey I seem to learn more, take new things away from the program and leave with new friends from all over the world! I was fortunate enough to volunteer in Chiang Mai, Thailand for 2 weeks wherein I got to teach at 2 schools within the local area. Each day was filled with joy, excitement, friendship, compassion and new opportunities to which I grasped with both hands. One of the most awesome things about volunteering abroad would be the everlasting friendships you create. I adored spending many of my afternoons exploring the local culture with both our coordinators and other volunteers as well as spending many late nights learning new languages, cultures and travel stories from across the world. These friendships hold a very special place in my heart and continue to flourish outside of the volunteer space. My favourite part of the volunteering had to be the lesson planning as it was the most rewarding experience when the lessons and games I had planned were so well received and enjoyed by the kids! If you are considering volunteering … this is definitely your sign as it is an unmatched experience that has countless affordances ❤️ The local team made my stay like home wherein I became apart of this close knit family. We were all so well looked after, with all facilities well maintained, drivers readily available, existing connections across all of Chiang Mai and major attractions we all wanted to visit as well as endless resources to utilise within the classroom setting. The food was definitely locally sourced with many dishes being traditional to Thailand however the food was well prepared and delicious. A few more Western dishes would have been adored but not necessary! It was awesome! I’m so very grateful! THANK YOU 🥰

Working with the children in the kindergarten was great, and I also really enjoyed being in different groups. I learned a lot of new things and would do it again. The accommodation was very nice and the food was always very good. The pool is also very nice and great for cooling off. The Team was allways helpfull and super nice. More variety by the food
