What else is there?
Thailand and SE Asia is a wonderful region for travel including Thailand itself, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. We encourage you to travel on after the placement and are happy to provide general travel advice and assistance.
Thailand is located in the centre of SE Asia, bordered by Burma, Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia, with an exciting blend of different regions and influences. The culture combines respect with fun, friendliness and a ‘no worries’ attitude. Well suited for travellers, it’s safe, easy and cheap. There’s so much to see and do (and eat!). Thailand lives on in the heart of all those who visit.
Read what some of our volunteers say...
"After traveling to Thailand for the first time, I was very amazed at how welcoming everyone in Koh Tao was. At the dive school, the location from where the marine conservation project is carried out, it felt like being adopted into their 'family' right from day one. This all made me feel very much like at home."
