About Thailand
Thailand has a rich culture, mostly influenced by the Buddhist religion and some remnants of animism in the north and these still strongly impact day-to-day life. Thailand is one of the must-see countries of the world, and some of the sights and attractions feature on many peoples’ ‘bucket list.’
The chance to immerse yourself in this fascinating, stunning and culturally rich country is not one to pass up, and volunteering with the Thai communities while you are there will make the whole experience even more memorable and worthwhile. After all, travelling while making a lasting positive impact through ethical tourism and volunteering is the best way to travel and to contribute towards keeping the ‘must see’ sites available for others in the future.

how we help
Thailand, the country of pristine beaches, lush forests and smiles, is host to thousands of tourists each year and is, in many ways a very developed country, faring well internationally when compared to its peers in areas such as gender equality, food waste and economic opportunities. What is sometimes missed however, is that the Kingdom of Thailand is equally diverse in its role as the home for over 70 ethnic minorities, living in the rural areas of the country close to its international borders.
Despite the seemingly high statistics of the country, Thailand struggles to close the gap between rural and urban areas when it comes to achieving the global goals set out by the UN SDGs. Ethnic minority communities in particular are often comparatively more disadvantaged due to their geographical location, ethnic status, language barriers and legal status in the country.
Our efforts are mainly focused on supporting disadvantaged Karen and Lawa communities in Mae Sariang District and Hilltribes in the Mae Hong Son Province.
