Volunteer Overseas Since 1997

Thailand

A volunteer in Thailand will be treated to amazing beaches, culture and, of course, cuisine – and if the world’s biggest beach party sounds like your thing, get on a plane and volunteer in Thailand!  On a GVI project though, a volunteer in Thailand can experience the country in a way the tourists don’t, so volunteer in Thailand and make a real difference in this magical country.

They were also fortunate enough to see the centres three baby leatherback turtles, a very rare and endangered species in Thailand.
