Our Chiang Mai Friends for Asia volunteer accommodation is the perfect spot to unwind after a day of volunteering. Located in a convenient area in the middle of Chiang Mai city, our two volunteer houses are only minutes apart and accommodate up to 35 people in air-conditioned bedrooms that provide respite from the hot, sunny days of northern Thailand. While volunteering on our project sites provides authentic, one-of-a-kind cultural experiences, it's still nice to know that you can retreat to our comfortable living room, watch Netflix on our big tv, message with your friends and family.
Our volunteers and interns start their day with toast, cereal, eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, fresh fruit and aromatic Red Cliff Coffee, from the highlands of Northern Thailand. Inexpensive and delicious Thai food restaurants along with a variety of international eateries are only minutes from our volunteer house. We've even had volunteers enroll in one of Chiang Mai's many Thai cooking courses and then show off their skills in our full kitchen.
Note: In our Low-Cost English Teaching Project, volunteers stay at the project site (school). The volunteer accommodation's creature comforts and amenities vary greatly. For this reason, volunteers that choose this this project need to remain flexible and are ready to "rough it" with clean, safe, but basic types of accommodation.
Volunteer Accommodation Location
Chiang Mai offers volunteers a unique blend of small-town charm and vibrant energy. Unlike bustling Bangkok, this compact city boasts a more relaxed atmosphere where everything feels within easy reach. The Old City's historic square is a treasure trove of temples, cafes, and markets, all accessible by foot or a short ride.

Our experienced volunteer coordinators are friendly and knowledgeable, and they work out of the Friends for Asia office located a two-minute walk from our volunteer houses.
Coordinators work hard to ensure that your volunteer project runs smoothly. They also assist volunteers with any problems, misunderstandings or challenges they encounter during their project. Multiple travel agents are in the neighborhood, and can set up additional travel arrangements and book other activities such as cooking courses, Thai massage courses, jungle treks, zip-lining and even bungee jumping.
