Experience Bangkok, Thailand with Friends for Asia.
As a Volunteer in Bangkok go beyond the well-beaten tourist track and find yourself on the front lines of this amazing city. Apply for one of the volunteer projects coordinated by Friends for Asia, and you'll do much more than visit temples, view the sights and sample the cuisine. Instead, you'll join a dynamic group of people dedicated to changing lives and transforming communities by promoting better education, facilitating healthcare and providing support to those who need it most.
This is one of the most important cities in Southeast Asia, and there many excellent Bangkok volunteer opportunities on tap for FFA applicants. This city welcomes upwards of 16 million overnight visitors from around the world each year. Globe-trotting tourists rave about its vibrant festivals, modern amenities and hedonistic nightlife. In fact, major polls - including those conducted by Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveller - consistently rank Bangkok as one of the finest cities to visit and explore in the world.
However, tourists rarely scratch the surface of what this city has to offer. Our Bangkok volunteers forge meaningful relationships with locals, find themselves behind the scenes in temples, hospitals and orphanages and end up seeing a side of Thailand that's all but inaccessible to package tourists and backpackers. Check out the following Bangkok volunteer projects that Friends for Asia coordinates in Bangkok and submit your application today. This could end up being one of the most meaningful experiences in your life.
Our Bangkok Volunteer and Intern Accommodation
One of the challenges of signing up as a Bangkok volunteer is finding a practical accommodation located within reach of the project site where you'll be working. That's why we go out of our way to arrange convenient accommodation within a short distance of public transport lines and other basic facilities.
Most who sign up to work on FFA's volunteer Bangkok projects stay at our main volunteer accommodation just outside the city center. It is located along the BTS Skytrain, which makes it easy to connect to most of Bangkok's prominent sites and attractions. This accommodation is located in a safe, up-market neighborhood where you can easily rest and get to know other volunteers after a hard day's work. There are also several restaurants, street stalls and a coffee shop within about ten minutes' walk of this location.
