We started our programs because vocational training and other forms of education are much needed in Thailand, especially for the unprivileged youngsters in rural areas.

We initiate sharing of ideas by involving participants in Thai cultures, lifestyles, traditions, while staying and involving themselves with the daily life of local villagers. Thai cooking, language, farming, charcoal lessons will also be offered.

Main group of the educational activities is poor children (mainly primary school students and also some in secondary schools), as their lives in most instances can be difficult.

You don't have to be a teacher! Just a willingness to teach English by simply giving students a chance to listen to speak English! Learning by heart, learning grammar, with opportunities to improve conversational skills.

Our goal of promoting volunteer programs needs people sharing their personal experiences with others who have the desire to exchange ideas and knowledge while exploring the world.

Minimum volunteer commitment is 1 week dependent on school schedule. The school year begins in May and ends in February, with a semester break from late September to mid-October.

There are no administration, service or agency fees when booking our programs directly through thailandteach@gmail.com. You are responsible to cover your costs for everything else.

We require a minimum 2 months notice for sharing a basic room in a teachers home with their family. Remember you are part of the family and will be responsible in sharing most of the house hold chores.
A donation fee to the teacher/school of around $ 13.50 US a day is requested to cover expenses.

Other option with at least 2 weeks notice is a private or semi private room in our guest house.

Both are very close to the villagers in the communities where you will volunteer. (Subject to availability)
