Please make sure you arrive into Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok (BKK) on the selected Saturday start date.
Day 1 (Saturday) – Arrival
Welcome to Thailand! You will be met at Bangkok airport by a member of our local team who will be holding a name sign. The journey to Pathum Thani will take around 1 hour, depending on traffic. You will have the rest of the day to relax and get familiar with your new environment.
Day 2 (Sunday) – Orientation
After a good first night rest in Thailand, its now time to begin your induction into life in Thailand. The orientation will be a mix of theory, culture and visits to local points of interest.
Day 3-7 (Monday-Friday) – Volunteering Begins
You will start your volunteer work on Monday morning. Should you need anything whilst at the project, remember our local team are only a phone call away. You will see our coordinator throughout the day at the Volunteer House and they are always happy to help. On the evenings volunteers will tend to relax around the dinner table, play games, head to the market or watch a movie.
Day 8-9 (Saturday-Sunday) – Weekend
