Hua Hin is a well-known beach spot in Thailand that is beloved by both visitors and locals. This place is located 280 kilometers southwest of Bangkok, in Prachuap Khiri Kha of southern Thailand.
In Thailand, many families live in poor housing conditions. Community buildings like temples, hospitals, and schools need improvements as well. As a volunteer, you will help these families by doing light construction and renovation work. The goal is to make better sanitation facilities, safer housing, and give communities more control over their development. Experienced coordinators will provide close instruction and supervision to ensure the safety of volunteers.
Volunteer Work:
Schedule: Mon-Fri
After breakfast, you will transfer to the volunteer site. The local coordinator will provide instructions for the day’s tasks. You can expect to work on construction and renovation tasks for about 4-5 hours each day, with a break for lunch. Lunch will be at our accommodation or near the project site.
