Chiang Mai, Thailand Volunteer Group #177
Our Chiang Mai, Thailand, Friends for Asia Volunteer and Intern Group #177 arrived a little over a week ago. They started their projects last Monday, and are now in their second week of their placements. So far so good, with everybody. As you can see, our volunteer and intern numbers really increase during June and July. In this group we have volunteers and interns from the USA, UK, Italy, Denmark, Austria, and Mexico. Good luck to all of your in your second week.<br />
Bangkok Volunteer Group 12
Here, we are introducing our Bangkok Volunteer and Intern Group, # 12! The group arrived, went through orientation and started their projects a little over a week ago. Everyone seems to be having a good experience. It's one of our largest groups yet, and we are pleased to see that our Bangkok projects are now increasing in popularity and numbers.<br />
Chiang Mai, Thailand Volunteer Group 176
Presenting our latest volunteer group in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Group 176 finished orientation this past Sunday, and began their projects on Monday and Today (the 2nd of June, 2015). Many of the project sites were closed on Monday, due to the Visaka Bucha Buddhist Holiday, which was this past Monday (the 1st of June).<br />
Bangkok Volunteer Group 11
Here is our Bangkok Volunteer Group photo from mid-May, in front of the Jatujak Weekend Market sign. Jatujak Market is one of the places we visit with new volunteer and intern groups during New Group Orientation. Not only is Jatujak Weekend Market an interesting place to visit (and only around the corner from our volunteer house and office), but it's also a great place to do souvenir and gift shopping for friends and family at home - or just yourself. Many of our volunteers and interns have told me that they return to Jatujak Market multiple times after the orientation to wonder, eat and shop.<br />
Chiang Mai, Thailand Volunteer Group 175

Eva, Daniel, Karissa and Jennifer are friends and have come to Chiang Mai to participate in our Children's Home and Elephant Camp Volunteer Projects. They are a week and a half into their Children's Home Placement, and will be starting their Elephant Camp Project in abut three and a half weeks. We hope that these four American volunteers enjoy their experience working with the kids and elephants.<br />
Student Group Volunteers - Thailand!
As we get closer to the summer of 2015, we would like to present our High School Student Group Projects. In March of 2015, we hosted a high school group from Hong Kong. The group came to participate in a project in Chiang Mai, where they volunteered with children at a local children's home, learned and worked with elephants at a local elephant camp and visited the iconic Sunday Night Street market in the center of Chiang Mai. <br />

Make a Lasting Impact as a
Volunteer or Intern in Thailand
These projects provide authentic access to Thai communities, beyond typical tourist experiences. The connections formed while volunteering create lasting impacts, both for volunteers and the local people whose lives they touch.
