The Re-Opening of Volunteering in Thailand!
With Thailand re-opening to visitors and world travelers, we are excited to announce the re-opening of volunteering in Thailand. Here at the Friends for Asia Foundation, we are opening our programs in groups. The first programs that are now available for placement are our Chiang Mai based Teaching Programs, Elephant Nursery, and Women's Empowerment Volunteer programs. We plan to have our Bangkok based programs, Medical Internship, and Children's Home Projects available for placement later this year. We do look forward to hosting international volunteers in Thailand again. <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.
