Get Inspired by Thailand’s Flower Festival
If there is one thing Thailand is known for, it is the Asian nation's beauty and culture. The annual Flower Festival in Chiang Mai is just one of many events throughout the year that pays homage to the country's rich national heritage and lush natural beauty. <br />
Valentine's Day in Thailand
Born in the sanguine narratives of Roman Catholic martyrdom and raised in the sensual poetry of medieval England and France, St Valentine's Day has been woven into the traditions of many countries. Westerners may be surprised to hear that Asian countries have embraced the holiday as well, but perhaps none in such unique ways as Thailand. The Land of Smiles, as it is called, can claim that the spirit of this holiday both loving and amorous has influenced everything from tourism to politics. Valentine’s Day may originally come from Rome, but few love the holiday with as much excitement as Thailand.<br />
10th Anniversary of First Volunteer
This month marks 10 years from when our organisation received its first-ever volunteer. We started our group with the primary goal of putting together volunteer projects throughout the region that would benefit the local residents and their communities, as well as the volunteers who join our programs. The Thailand branch is the newest locale for our organisation, so opportunities abound for those who are interested in giving back while also having a chance to see the world. <br />
