Delve into Thailand's Hidden Gems

Your Adventure Awaits

Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime on our next Thailand trip: 9th November 2024

Your Gap Year in Thailand

A Country of Sacred Temples

Thailand is a tropical paradise, with a coastline like no other, serene Buddhist temples and the vibrant cityscape of Bangkok. It’s easy to see why Thailand is one of the first places that comes to mind when you think of a gap year.

But despite well-developed cities and a thriving tourist economy, Thailand’s northern rural communities are being left behind. While the urban areas grow, the disadvantages in rural areas and among ethnic minorities are becoming more pronounced. 

Join our efforts to empower Thailand’s disadvantaged rural communities, inspire change and be part of something bigger by supporting our sustainable solutions to development.
